Hi everybody…
I need a bit of advice after I have been running my Innovatek-based system during almost a year. I haven’t had any problems at all so far, but now I start to wonder if I should do some kind disband/re-assemble of the system to keep it running perfectly for the next year? Here’s my setup: Eheim 1048 -> InnovaRadi Dual -> InnovaCool Rev.3 (on Athlon XP 2700) -> Innovatek Tank-O-Matic -> InnovaGraph VGA (on ATI Radeon 9700 Pro) -> Eheim 1048. I’m using distilled water (bought at the pharmacy) together with InnovaProtect (anti-corrosion). I have been refilling the system over the last year whenever there was a slight need so it has been a pure pleasure. ![]() Any reason why it shouldn’t continue that way?

If the temps are still good, no leaks, all fittings and tubing look good, and no other visable problems then I would say "don't fix it if it ain't broke".

Thanks for the advice! ![]() Is there any rules to how long a well built system should work? |

Looks like you did everything right. You might want to add a little axtra anti corrosion stuff now and then when you top the system off if your not already. |

One thing you should do semi-regularly is to clean out the radiator with compressed air. I find even with filters that it can get pretty clogged up after a few months. Thermal paste can sometimes need reapplication after several months as well I hear (I have never run the same CPU for long enough to find out).

After a year you should flush it with Airspirits mix and make sure all the junk is out. Depending on your block I would consider taking it apart and checking for mass deposits. Think of it like a 80,000 mile checkup.
