Go to solution Solved by Bosco,

On the mod top, it has on one side with an inlet and outlet and on the other side a single inlet. As you will see from my pic, if you look at the pump closest to us, I am using the side witht he single inlet to actually push water through the loop effectively making it an outlet. Is this a problem? Does an inlet or outlet make any difference at all?

 

You cannot use an inlet as an outlet as the pump only pushes water in one direction if you have the outlets sealed that would be why no water is flowing.

Hi Guys,

 

I am in need of some big help, I have a dual loop which I am trying to run. Thr pumps switch on but they just switch on and don't push any of the water around. I have tried switchingt the pumps on and off but they do not budge the water at all. I have not run them dry and the reservoirs are full and at the same level they were at before I even thought about turning the pumps on.

 

The pumps are moving the water about inside the reservoirs but do not push any water around.

 

I have built many PC's before but new to water cooling.

 

The pumps I have are 2 D5 Alphacool and both sit in a Bitspower upgrade kit, single mod top and reservoirs. My build is here....

What could be causing this issue???

Yes this is my baby. It has been almost 6 months in the making. I have had a couple of nice builds but never done watercooling before. And now I am a little stuck. I am not sure what to do as I don't have any friends near to me that will know much about this!

air lock

 

the system has a large amount of air to compress and not allowing the pressure

in the system to overcome that air pressure (air lock).

usually, one can open a fitting high enough in the loop to bleed off some/all of

the air pressure to let the water travel further.

I recommended that the last guy with this problem simply undo his reservoir fillport plug to allow the airlock to escape, topping it up at the same time. It worked for him. Maybe it will work for you. Good luck and nice job on your build there. :)

I am so stupid sometimes. Although I have not tested this I am sure this is the problem. I am going to have to take my loop apart now and resize a couple of my tubes because of this. Basically it's about half a days work because I assumed this wouldn't be a problem. Whoops! Thanks for the advice. You cannot find any decent guides for a complete start to finish for watercooling with Bitspower. It's very frustrating

It is indeed the Project Nebula build from the CM Competition. I am a complete noob when it comes to watercooling and because of my stupidity I have had to completely change the loop....but it's a good job I had this problem becuase now it loooks even better :)

 

It is an acrylic door from MNCPTECH but a company here in the UK distributes them called Kustom PC's based in Scotland.
