Cleaning an Aqualis glass reservoir with nano coating

Montag, 24. Oktober 2016, 09:30

Hi all,
After a year the reservoir is stained by the Mayhems fluid it has been holding. Tried fairy liquid and hot water but didn't remove it.
Any ideas to make it sparkly again?
Thanks

I have no thoughts on that, but you may also want to post in Mayhems Users Club... they probably see that question more often.

Thanks for the info. I've posted there also.

Update from Mayhems.


The staining in the res is caused by the way the Aqualis works as more of an expansion tank holding the warm fluid, The best advice we could give is to contact Aquacomputer and ask them what is the best way to clean there product.
Below is a link to the MSDS sheets the coolants incase they ask what coolant you were using.

I'll give you the best advise as I give everyone else in the H20 game. Stop using colored fluid because it will stain everything. Use colored tubing and LEDs for ambient lighting. I have and it works great.

What /\ said.

Though in my case, a stained carped was my motivation.

Though that doesn't help you. The MSDS, funnily enough, missed the key point of what's used for the coloring itself.

That said, perhaps soak in a light bleach solution.

I saw your post in Mayhems, but no reply. They must have PM'd you.

I am surprised at their statement about the aqualis being an expansion tank....that's what every reservoir is/does.
I was a Mayhems fan boy, but am getting disenchanted with their recent BS.

Probably the best question to ask aquacomputer is what is safe or not safe to use on their nano-coated reservoir... bleach, acid, etc.
Your quickest response is probably to shoot an email to support@aqua-computer.de.

Wondering, if you refill your system with the same color, does it matter if the res is stained?
If you use dye in your system, there is a good chance it will stain res, blocks, tubing.

Thanks for the reply Infoseeker.
Mayhems to be honest replied almost straight away and followed up with a PM so not disenchanted with their response.

I will email Aqua directly as per your suggestion and you are right the staining doesn't matter terribly if I use the same colour and fill level. Just strange the RX360 rads, cheap XSPC tubing and fittings and other bits and pieces are all fine. Couple of rinses with ultra pure or equivalent and its all gone and the fluid is clear.
I will keep you posted on the Aqua response in case anybody else needs similar.

Remove the glass tube and put it in a dish washer (if available).

Thanks Shoggy I will give it a go.

Dish washer didn't touch it so have put it back in. The dye must be very strong. When I replace the dye I will get a new tube.
