I had read a while back about someone using some cleansing product through their watercooling system which immediately and drastically cut down on the amount of buildup of "gunk" in their system and prevented it from coming again for a good period of time ... unfortunately, I can no longer locate that information.

Being an open-air system (dispite air and water filters that I use), my bong loop tends to collect this kind of stuff at an alarming rate ... which clogs up the CPU block (cathar's LRWW) as well as the showerhead ... the two primary bottlenecks. The hoses have a visible film to them as well ... which breaks off over time and clogs up the system more.

I can regularly dump the loop into a separate pail, turn the system on and off a couple time which dislodges a fair amount and helps keep the system running ... but its still not exactly what I'm looking for, since it doesn't attack the root of the problem ... and mainly just relocates the unwanted material instead of obliterating it entirely.

Does anyone have a clue of what could be run through the system (temporarily of course, I don't want to be breathing it in over an extended period of time) that would clean things off of the hoses and dissolve buildups with a fair amount of efficiency? Its important that it doesn't harm copper, or kill any o-rings on the waterblocks and pump, of course.

Thanks!
