Guys I have noticed from where I didn't run my marquee for a month

My blue tube developed gunk in the cooling chamber which has now on the entire c element

How should I go about getting it clean(the other tubes are ok and clear)

I know I would have to pull the tube to do it

Pull the C element, order stainless screws from me and fill washers, that's where the gunk came from, and you need new glycol. Change the bellows to be on the safe side as well.

Who can I get a replacement bellows from?

I have plenty of glycol so that's no problem

what will the screws and washers run price wise?
If they are cheap I may do all three tubes to prevent the others from doing this

It started back in December during the time you was repairing the clm(it was small and just gunk then) and just got worse

ive had the same problem and also on the blue (coincidence).

leave the other tubes alone but get the nashou bellow if you didn`t already.

you know it`s a mix of glycol and glycerol? 75-25.

the nashou bellow doesn`t need to be glued.

Also, I think it's important to rinse the chamber with 90% Isopropyl alcohol to kill all the fungus spores before adding the Glycol,
