dang, at least i caught it before my gpu blocks were damaged, they seem fine. Im really confused though ive been reading online that it should be fine to use distilled water because it is ionized and wont try to take ions form the metal. Another thing ive been seeing that ek blocks are nickle plated or aluminum but their rads are copper with aluminum bodes. this makes no sence to me because that would cause corrosion? albeit im using copper swiftech rads. long story short ive thoroughly flushed my loop and about to leav to get my new cpu block and probably nano fluid, sorry for spelling/grammar errors im on a cellphone.
It is deionized, but with time it starts to get the ions from the metal and starts to be ionized, so the corrosion starts to appear.
You should change the Aluminium parts for Cooper ones. And still get a biocide.
EK blocks are Cooper made with the possibility of nickel plated. The Rads I don't know for sure, but one of the full cooper rad that I know are the Aquacomputer ones and the Alphacool.
