D5 pump noise

[ChrisZH]

Will a d5 pump make noise if air is being introduced to the loop?

Yes....

Any water pump in the world would make a load of noise if air is introduced, also air reduces the overall performance of a loop, so please whatever you do, try to keep air outside of everywhere but the reservoir.

I just installed new d5 pump and res in a new case so im bleeding it right now and leak testing

OK good, just remember air in your pump is a bad day.... after you get all the air out it should quiet right down.

I just let it run right? Do i cover everything or let completely close the reservoir?

When i bleed system i leave lid off reservoir right?

You don't need to, the volume inside the loop isn't changing.

You're just trying to get all the air bubbles to stay in the reservoir.

One they're all there you can top it off with fluid.

As said any air bubbles through the pump will cause noise, as for bleeding you don't need to keep the cap off but it can help if you crack the fill port slightly. You want to make sure the pump isn't recirculating the bubbles and rising to the top of the res.

Im seeing a lot of bubbles in the res. I moved the case some to try and get more water to go into the upper radiator. I have a 45mm thick 360 rad on top and a slim 240 in the front. I saw more bubbles in the res when i did that. Only problem is when i go to top the res off after i turn it off is that my res gets full. Any idea why?

Here is a picture, excuse the towels and cables everywhere.

I also see bubbles in the flex tubing, how can i get those to move along?

Im noticing that my pump vibrates a lot, dont really know why. Im going to get some kind of anti vibration mat, but can it damage hardware?

Tilt and move the system around if your res levels are changing once your pump is off you have a trapped air pocket in the loop. Also due to the way you have your loop configured without an internal pipe or straw you are going to get some water noise.

What do you mean internal pipe? My res has a tube that goes in the top to hold me led strip.

No.

Could it be the way im mounting the pump? Or more likely air?

Due to the side intake and how it's configured water can have the potential to splash and make noise which is why an internal tube like this is used to drop the fluid down below the waterline.

Yea the water ends up running along the side with how it is tilted. Is there something i can buy to install it in there?

Do you think its possible the vibrations are due to the way ive mounted it?

Chaning the port orientation to the top that would be the only place for an internal tube long as it's ports is threaded through. After moving the case around has the backflow of fluid going to the res subsided when the pump is turned off?

The pump will have some vibration which is normal long as it's not being amplified by the case which causes excess noise the is nothing to worry about.
