Hi,

I have a water loop system but I'm lazy to disassemble it all to clean....
Is there anyway solution to clean waterloop inside the system?

I saw some uses 5~10% vinegar + distilled water to fill and flush the system several times.
is this solution possible? or is there any mixed solution for cleaning waterloops ready out their in the market?

Various "flush" solutions exist - any many will flush with distilled water.
All depends on the length of time, or how badly it needs cleaned.

If it's routine maintenance, periodic passes with distilled water (and potentially vinegar) should be sufficient.

If there's substantial build up in the blocks etc, that's only going to do so much - and your best route would be a disassembly and full clean/scrubbing etc.

Realistically though, if you're "lazy to disassemble" to clean... You should probably stay away from custom loops and look towards AIOs or Air. Custom loops require maintenance, including 'deep' cleans from time to time.
