or if Goatee's correct*I'm still just super worried that I'll buy one and use it for a few months until I can get my hands on this case, and by then it'll probably be growing the bacteria, Goatee's correct about it being plasticiser.
Pressure testing:
Looking at those photo’s of the LT240, I would put money on the issues being due to tubing plasticiser leaching out.
So hypothetically if I buy this, drain it, replace the tubing/fittings with EK where I can and replace the screws with nickel of the same size, I should be fine?Which is why I mentioned the rubber tubing from EK, yes it is black but it will last a long time and nothing will leech into the liquid and cause issues.
Is he using the LT 240's pump/rad for the solution?Thing is, the rubber tubing EK has is too large of a diameter to work in such a small space. @Wahaha360 is coming up with a hardline solution hopefully soon which will be cleaner and easier to work with.
Or is it all gonna be shelf products, pump, block, tubing, etc.
But again, was it 3d printed tubing that goes into the LT 240's base pump/rad or is it for a completely custom loop? Sorry for the confusion.Wahaha custom solution was 3D printing tubing. Pictures can be found in the first post. Although last time I saw, those weren’t coming until later this year.

Come on you know thats not true.Thing is, the rubber tubing EK has is too large of a diameter to work in such a small space.
I want to circle back to this post here.Looks like Alphacool Eisaber LT240 is a popular component for a T1. I just read something today that might be of interest and/or concern for the LT240.
Long story in short:- After close to 6 months usage, a LT120 (smaller brother of LT240 and I suppose they are similar) has its block clogged with corrosion bits. Upon opening up to investigate, even though the block is copper, the hold-down screws are of different material, thus causing galvanic corrosion.
Not sure if this is an accurate assessment but I think users of LT240 should keep this in mind.
Maybe, after 6 months of usage, open the block to check, for a peace of mind at least. (And I suppose it is good time to reapply thermal paste as well.)

Yeah... I’m really happy for everyone else that has gotten their T1, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t annoying to see zero updates on my tracking. I recognize the world is in a crisis at the moment, but I would selfishly really like to be able to work on my T1 during that time lol. I have custom sleeving supplies and everything waiting!
