Material Compatibility Issues

[GeorgeDouj88]

I'm making a full EK loop and on each part description it says not for use with aluminum parts, except for the fact that the pump doesn't say that. Instead, the pump says materials Blah Blah, Blah Blah, and Aluminum Oxide. Should I still not use this pump cause of the aluminum oxide?

If you are making a loop with EKWB's fluid gaming kits you must have an all aluminum loop. The portion you are talking about is the D5 pump and that is the bearing surface which is not an issue but as of currently it is not recommended to be combined with the fluid gaming kits if you are planning to do so.

No, I am picking my own parts from the shopping part of their site, not a kit. So should I change it or I should be okay, because I really like the plexi glass

If your getting copper, nickel or brass loop components you'll have nothing to worry about. The aluminum oxide bearing for the pump will not react with anything in the loop.

Ya I'm pretty sure every part is okay because they all say don't mix with aluminum parts except the pump's situation which I already mentioned.
