My Apogee GTX got the same green build up over time inside the waterblock. Only copper was used in the loop. Like you, I was using just distilled water. My tubing did not turn green, and the water was clear. Soaked the thing in CLR to clean it off.

Well Im not alone
Btw, I used deionized water, not distilled. And it was not so deionized I think.
Sorry for ignorance, im italian, but what is CLR?

Its a cleaner for removing calcium lime and rust ..
I control my hardware
My hardware does not control me
TheMash, Do not use CLR, it's just more of the same acid based cleaning solution that you've been using.
Circles SucQ!
If your annoyed by sigs telling you to put things in your sig, then put this in your sig
Bribery won't work on me...just say NO to AT!!!
Okay, no problem.
I wouldnt find it in Italy however
Anyway, thank for suggestions. Very very useful. You're very kind.
I started to clean everything today, with hot tap water only and then many wash with deionized water (another brand of course).
Maybe is it the time to open a thread for a worklog?
