I hadnt actually intended to use the core, simply put the end of the marker in the water and let it sit for a while then add the water to the loop. This would simply be adding the pigment and UV reactive components to the water instead of physically adding any of the solid marker components.
To get the ultra-bright effect in approximately 1 liter of water only took about 30 seconds of having the nib of the marker in the water. It was amazingly quick. I couldnt see any other particles or residue in the water after a day so....I am now wondering if its a terribly bad idea to put into the loop. I dont mind cleaning the components, my main worry is whether it could possibly damage the pump. The rest I can take care of fairly quickly.
