I haven't installed a water cooling unit since my innovatek kit two years ago I now find myself with two projects. I have a few questions. I plan on using a coolant ( like water but non conductive) do I really need to flush the system and should I do it with distilled water first? On the AquaXtreme 50Z-DC12 which is the inlet? ( mine came without documentation) Whats the best way to bleed a system ( i.e. a ball valve or something ) The pump should not be run without water so how do I "prime it" I have a T connection and intend to have a filler pot at the top of the case. Should I use a manifold for the dual cpu cooling? Thanks in advance for any help and tips
Two kits are:
1)Dual nexxos XP Bold blocks ( Xeon 604), alphacool pump,coolplex resevoir,Alphacool triple radiator, 10mm OD tubing. resevoir and radiator are on top of the case!

2)Swiftech storm ( AMD64 ),swiftech micro resevoir,thermochill PA120,Aquaxtreme 50Z,1/2" OD tubing
