    water pump problem

    I’ve been working on my Chiller A/C Unit and made a tank from Plexiglas and marine sealant & first filled it half way with radiator fluid to test, however my Thermaltake water pump didn’t have enough suction to feed the coolant through!

    Is this a decent water pump or should I spend more to get a stronger submergible water pump or am I doing something wrong?


    Liquid Cooling System - Thermaltake AquariusII

    Any info is welcome!

    Most of your small pumps will not prime as they have little suction. Is it mounted submerged or external ? External I just suck on the return until the pump is full and fluid is near my mouth, (you wouldn't want to drink it whatever is in it) then reconnect. Then the pump will run. I got tired of weak pumps and just hooked an Iwaki wmd20-rlt man does this thing flow.
