Please help! Only getting tiny bit of water flow with Aquastream Pump.

Saturday, June 20th 2009, 9:08am

I was running 3x120mm radiator (swiftech) on top of case and only cpu water and north bridge water block

with EK dual 5.25" bay reservoir....it was running fine but today I just added the koolance flow sensor...

after that nothing but disaster and I still can't get the water to flow....I spent all day shaking lian-li case trying

get the water to flow ..nothing help. Thinking it was koolance which caused this havoc so I even took it out.

Only way I can get the serious water flow is t have the pump directly connected to reservoir ONLY.



Do you think aquastream xt pump's not strong enough handle triple rad on top and two water block?

Maybe you should check the impeller and axis.

Which values do you get in the aquasuite?

Thanks for your input but it was the coolant which caused the low flow rate. I am using Fluid XP+ Ultra LT w/ z7 and I now have to dilute the coolant with distilled water to get the substantial water flow. It used to be fine with the coolant alone....but now very small water flow. I am going 25:75 (coolant to water) and I am afraid I am not protected against corrosion and algae..



Before when it was working with the coolant I used to get around 77~78 and now with most of it water I get around 80.9 on aquasuite.
