Unless you get a leak or pump failure
You flush it properly once a year you are good to go Edited by DST4ME - 04 Jan 2018 at 8:36pm |

Out of curiosity how do you tell if a pump fails that seems like something hard to detect. I assume if your temps change that's a sign

Bingo, no pump = no flow = high temps = pc shutdown

Congratulations.That is a beast of a machine. While it is being built start reinforcing floor joists and desks (if going on a desk).
