Pump doesnt move water

[XCalinX]

Hey guys,

I'm currently running my loop on a table. I wanted to add another rad, but the pump wont pull fluid from the res. some air bubbles will come in the res and the fluid in the tubes will move a 2 or 3mm and that's it. I redid the loop with just the old rad and same thing happens. I drained it and filled it 4 or 5 times. The pump doe make noise so its not dead. It's a laing ddc btw.

Thanks

I think the pump is dead, or something is broken inside. Try this (if it does not void your warranty)

 

Open it and turn it on. See what happens, take pics and post them on here as well so people can see if it is broke or not.

Possibly air bubbles in the Pump. Tilt the case side to side to free it up?

I'd guess either not enough power, or dead pump.

make sure you pull as many air bubbles out as you can. also, make your pump the lowest altitude item on the table, laying everything flat wont work.

 

it also helps to make your resv. the top component when testing, so align all items vertically in this order:

 

   |>resv.   >>____

  | <rad. <<|            |

   pump.   ^^__   <<__

 

if it's making noise, it isn't dead.

if you get enough back pressure in your line with bubbles it would keep the pump from producing suction. also, if you pump isn't pushing liquid, turn it off. running a pump dry, or under saturated is a good way to kill it.

@ Well yesterday it was working with the same loop order
