I have the LCS Dual-Loop system.  It includes the XSPC reservoir, specifically the Acrylic Dual 5.25” Split Bay Reservoir.  I need to add distilled water to one of the two bays.  Fact is, I can't figure out how to do that.  Looks like the water intake valves are on top of the reservoir?  How do I get to them to remove and add water?  Do I try to remove by taking off the faceplate and pulling through the front of the computer, or does it come out from the inside?
 
This is my first LCS, and any help would be appreciated.
 
Thank You.

there will be screws on the sides, just like removing a DVD drive. remove the screws, unless it has the plastic tool less crap, either way, that is how you loosen it, then slide it forward to reveal the fill holes.

Make sure you have enough room to pull it out. I found that the power cord to the pump and the twist ties on the tubes restricted the removal. It might be challenging to get out and to get back in is even more fun.

Thanks for the Tip.  What did you do in order to get it out / back in again?

After removing the screws that was holding in the reservoir, I gently pushed the reservoir from inside the case outward. If you pull it out just enough to fill up your coolants you'll be fine. Otherwise, be prepared to play a "puzzle" getting it back in =)

Thanks!  That is very helpful.  One other question.  Do you ever have to 'drain' the system and replace with fresh fluid?

yes, you do need to flush the system, I do not know how often Digital Storm wants you to do it though.  Most water cooling people do it once a year to once every two years.

Thanks!  Now if I can just figure out how to flush the system, I'll be all set.
