Liquid Cooling Advice

Hi There, I've got a liquid cooled machine with a custom loop with two radiators. It cools the CPU and two GPUs. Over time the liquid has evaporated and I think its probably due a flush out and servicing. However in the mean time (use the machine for work) can I top up with premix coolant for the time being? until I get a free day to do the maintenance? The reservoir level is roughly about half at the moment.
Specs below as well as a shot of the coolant level.

Any advice would be welcome

As you're gonna be flushing it fully anyway, as you say just some clear EK Premix would do the job to tide you over, but yeah, the Premix is all the necessary stuff like antibio etc, just without the colour mix.


Nice build by the way, I had a little involuntary physical reaction when I saw the photo

Many thanks for your reply and advice. The photo does look a little weird with the reflections in it lol.

The involuntary physical reaction was definitely positive, not a negative one ;) A long "oooooo" and widened eyes was pretty instant.
