"V2" Koolance *Dual D-5* Bay Reservoir! (RP-452X2)

[Koolance]

Our serial connector is now available for this product. There's a bonus acrylic piece included for the lower reservoir that will improve flow performance further. These are likely to run out of stock shortly, but we'll have more by next Monday.

Will this work with the V1?

Do you mean RP-450X2? There is not a way to connect that for series. The front reservoir is shared and liquid would recirculate into the front tank if the rear nozzle ports were connected.

I couldn't wait for a US Retailer to stock the serial connector, I ordered it from Koolance and a second pump (from SW).

Considering my "return" trickles, I'm hoping to see some improvement with my temps.

Tim,

I just recieved the res and the adapter its nice and solid. I was following these instructions and I noticed when installing the acrylic piece in the bottom half this would only allow the system to pull water from the top chamber correct? Is there anyway to have this work in the reverse order? my concern is the water level falling too low and only having the top return available for water return.

This is really confusing. So the instructions say to only place the acrylic connector in the bottom pump return. got it but it doesnt say where to place the pipe bridge. now if i go by the picture this will cause the bridged pump to pump right back into pump number 2's chamber. would i not want the flow to be res>pump>pump? or is it better to run pump>res>pump?

Our tester just realized the pictures we have on our site for the connecting nozzles aren't correct. If you use the optional internal acrylic bypass, the connecting bridge should be on the lower ports ("P1 [IN]" and "P2 [OUT]"), not on the top ports. We've added a note below the original image.

Firstly just want to say great product!
Second..
I have recently put 2 of the 452x2's in my system and it does work with the new acrylic bypass installed with serial loop at the top. What is the difference between operation at top and bottom?
I did notice if one pump becomes disabled or fails with the loop installed at the top it is possible that the coolant flow will stall! Is this the reason for the recommendation to put the serial link at the bottom?

It has been a bit of pain to bleed as people have said, and I am unable to run the pumps at setting 5 as they suck any remaining air back through the loop.

Any recommendations for how to get maximum performance and redundancy from them? Is it possible to put a small pickup pipe inside the top outlet port to allow the pickup point to be a bit lower so bleeding is less of an issue?

I just want to say I am in no way disappointed with the product, they are really well made, look great and have made my complex setup cleaner and easier overall to manage maintenance. (along with all the excellent koolance QDC's, extensions, adapters and compression fittings!)

Here's a couple before serial link and after shots.
Before serial links with flow going to blocks then rads and back to res.
