DRAINING OF THE LOOP

STEP 1
Before disassembling the water cooling loop, it is mandatory to
turn off your computer and pull the power cord from the socket.
Prepare some paper towels and stack them over the hardware.
Unscrew the four M4 nuts securing the EK-UNI Holder Spider
(120mm Fan) on the PC chassis. Slowly pull the pump-reservoir unit
along with the bracket outside of the case. Do not pull the tubing off
the fittings at this stage.
Take a container and put it under the pump-reservoir unit.
STEP 2
Unscrew the fitting ring on the outlet port of the pump-reservoir unit.
Rotate the ring in the counter-clockwise direction.
Gently pull the tube off the fitting and direct it into the container.
Let the coolant flow into the container.
STEP 3
Disconnect the other tube that is connected to the pump-reservoir
unit inlet port.
Keep one tube directed to the container and blow into the other tube
to additionally drain the system.
To thoroughly drain the pump-reservoir unit you can tilt it in multiple
directions, or even remove the top cap and pour the coolant out of
the reservoir.
Keep the disconnected tube ends over the paper towel to
prevent the coolant spillage. You can additionally dry the
tubes and the pump-reservoir to keep the hardware safe.
