I am considering putting a second pump in my system, just for the looks and redundancy, but I wont do it with a dual pump top.. So my question is; I have a pump with a pump top and res together, and im considering throwing a pump in this res:

If one pump stops would it stop the flow completly or are would it have no effect?

Well, the a pump that stopped will bring some resistance to the flow. If you wanna do dual pump I'd suggest you do get a dual pump top. But since it's for the shits and giggles just don't do it and buy something different :D

Actually having a dual top vs 2 single tops would still have the same outcome performance wise, dual tops are normally just two single tops stuck together but more compact.Seems like a expensive thing to do unlwaa you are running some high end gear, you should just hook up your pumps rpm sensor ans if it hits below a certain rpm auto shutdown the computer.

You could try putting them in parallel. That way if one of them stopped, it wouldn't add any resistance to the flow.

Overall... two pumps are not of much benefit. Lot of the time, they are more trouble then they are worth... If your primary pump is a quality one, they can last for years.

Parralel? what would that gain me?

My thoughts on this is, this would essentially be pretty much the same as a dual pump top, just with more space between them. And I should probably have mentioned im talking about D5's.

I know its expensive and not really any performance gain, but in this particular case money is not an issue whatsoever.. :)
