Unable to drain my loop
Unable to drain my loop
Hi guys. I'm working on my first wc loop and now I need to drain it after leak testing to get coolant flowing, but I'm having trouble doing it. You can see the loop in the picture. Coolant flows clockwise. After opening the valve and unplugging the reservoir, I still notice water in the motherboard block and at the bottom of the pump. I tried tilting it, but it didn't work. My drain point seems to be at the lowest part of the loop, which is confusing since in videos it looks so straightforward. Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks!
I attempted to repair the image you shared but am uncertain if it is being blocked or not viewable.

Opening the drain valve requires also releasing air by opening the reservoir cap, otherwise it remains in a partial vacuum.
Also, I noticed 'clockwise' and 'counterclockwise' are swapped in my thoughts... I need more coffee.
