How to clean water scale out of WB?
I have a Blizzard reactor water block that someone gave me to try out but it has what looks like water mineral scale built up inside the barbs. Not much but I'm wondering on how to clean it? Water and viniger maybe? Can I run it through my pump or should I submerge the WB in a tub of the solution for a while? Any thoughts?

You could get some citric acid from your local pharmacy and just suberge the block in hot/boiling water for 1/2 hour.

I wouldn't worry about it, just make sure you run your system with water wetter, I believe that block is half aluminum (the heatsink part) and half copper, so it's definately fighting a corrosion battle inside.

I had tons of mineral build up on my Aluminum senfu block. CAreful if you use CLR cleaning chemical. It reacts with Aluminum. Works great but if you don't rinse it or let it sit. It will eat a hole into the block. Thats what happened to me.
(even after getting a new block I plan to keep the senfu for a videochip cooler.)

Thanks for all the advice folks. I'll think I will just leave it as is for now
