Having problem filling my loop

[Hellemyr]

Hello.

I just put together my first loop whit T line.

But im having problem filling it. I have tilted the case so that the pump is the lowes part of the loop and the T line is right above the inlet of the pump.

But when i fill water in the T line and start up the pump the water just splashes out from the T line, and the pump starts sucking air.

Anyone have some good tips to what i can do? Shall i fill in so much water as i can get in, plug the line and start the pump?

The pump is a DDC-1 8W and im got 3 blocks and a radiator. Also i have black tubing, so i cant see where the water is in the loop.

I have a feeling you have the T in the wrong line. Can you post a pic of your loop?

[Hellemyr]

I have the T line right before the inlet of the pump, so the water from the t line flows right down in the pump.

Ill get some photos so you can see for yourselve.

maybe use a funnel and once you see the coolant move down then turn off and refill the T & funnel. Thou a picture would be helpfull

No offense, but are you sure you have your T at the inlet of the pump? It sounds like your T is at the outlet, otherwise it should pull the water in... but then maybe not, being a T air would be getting pushed from one side and pulled from the other, so I suppose it could push the water up the T....

Another good reason for a res.

Here comes a picture, since i tilted the case, the T line is higer than the pump, but it dont look like it on the picture.

But i got the hang of it now.

I just fill up the T line and start the pump, and wait intill it stats sucking air, and fill up the T line again.

Well, the pictures dident come after all, stupid internet explorer.

But i the problem sortet out, and the pump is running now, but i can hear that its still alot of bubbles running inside my tubes, but i cant see them.

plug the line before starting the pump

Get some water in the pump and as much as you can within the loop. Short the pins on the PSU or use a PSU tester and start giving it power for a second, then off. Running it dry will ruin the pump. This slight bump will move the water throughout the loop. Continue doing this a few times till the loop is full then let it run a few hours to bleed. Using a small swiftech res makes this process much easier. I bought one of the danger den syringes for filling my loop and this makes it a much easier process.

Yeah I just bought a Swiftech Micro Res it it is so much easier now than before filling with a T -Line. Well it didn't help that my last setup had a T-Line that was only about 12 inches long and therefore I couldn't get much water in it at a time. Fill line, turn on for 2 seconds, stop, fill line, turn on for 2 seconds, stop, fill line, turn on for 2 seconds, stop, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.. LOL

How often does it take to fill it with this, 60cc in't that much
