Hello,

I am using an Aquastream XT along with an Aquainlet PRO 100ml and can't get rid of air bubbles no matter which configuration I try:

- when using the bottom inlet ports, I can't fully bleed the system as air is trapped (sucked in by the pump every time) no matter which frequency I use, even 50Hz.
Most of the air can escape in the beginning but many smaller bubbles are stuck in the loop.

- when using the ports at the top of the reservoir, bubbles are created by water turbulence (and as the reservoir is small are sucked back in the loop).

My system ran for a few days (in each scenario), but it won't improve over time.

WC loop: CPU and chipset waterblocks, one 240mm rad and one 180mm.
Case: Bitfenix Prodigy


The only possible solutions I found:

- Add an aquajet flush tube at the top of the reservoir, fill it so that the aquajet tube is immersed -> no more turbulence.
My only concern is that it is not advertised as such (supposedly only to fix fogging issue).
The tube diameter looks a bit small, will it affect flow a lot ?

- Replace it with an Aqualis reservoir (a deflection plate is included, which in my opinion, should have been provided to Aquainlet users).

Any help would be appreciated.


Regards,

Stéphane.
