Laing DDC (Swiftech MCP350/355) Names & Info

[eXa]

Dont think u need any emi shield. The eheim\aquastream pumps are 120\220v pumps, but the ddc is a 12v pump...

I have a DDC-1TP pump with manufacturing date 06/05.

Anyone have a clue if I could do the 18w mod on this?
This is the mod I wanted to do: link

I opened up my pump and the impeller looks black not bright blue... I'm assuming I'll kill it if I try to do the mod?

With a manufacture date in '05, you aren't going to be able to do the mod. That old DDC-1 has a completely different motor than the newer DDC-3 series.

I put the Petra Tech top on it anyway...

I'm wondering if I should settle for this 10w mcp350 with modded top or just go back to my Laing D5 (MCP655)...

What do you think? I wanted to use the MCP350 b/c I have the 5.25" bay mount so it would have fit nicely in my case.

One Question: Has anybody modded a DDC top with a large intake room with clear acrylic .. so that when the pump runs .. it'll have a swirling vortex on top? Something like Koolance ones but with a bigger room like a semi reservior

So, after reviewing the various pumps on Martin's Liquid Lab, I have come under the impression that at 12V the DDC-3.2 is the best pump for PC water cooling and the Iwaki MD(?)-30 is the best for 18V. Is this census amongst users here at XS? Also, am I correct in understanding that the DDC-1T+ is the same as the DDC-3.2?

No, i made this thread before the ddc3.1\3.2 was available.
You can see i updated the op with a german link when the 3.1\3.2 came..

[MaddHawk]

Two things, first I can't read or speak german. Two, I have checked the link and all I saw was how to convert the 10W pump into the 18W pump by useing a solder ball to connect the last unused terminal pad to the one next to it.

Edit: I found Laing's website and saw that they are calling the latest version the 3.1 and 3.2 series of pumps. Some sites had me confused saying the new revision with the blue rotor was called the 1T and 1Tplus.

My point wasnt to make u go looking at the german link...
Anyways... DDC 3.1\3.2 is 3.1\3.2... that is what they are called. all the others is the older ones.

Actually, Laing USA does not use the same naming convention (they use 3.1/3.2) as Laing Europe (they also don't get along with each other the last time I heard). DDC1+ Ultra= 18W (or 3.2), DDC-1T Pro= 10W (or 3.1). I've seen some shops that have typo's in the listing headers (like Aqua-PC's) so look through the pump specs carefully to make sure which it is.

As I said before I did check it and it never explained the naming, only that the impeller in both versions was now blue. It then delved into how to modify the 10W pump into its more powerful 18W brother.

That would explain ALOT for why I saw the confusing names on European based websites. The primary Laing Corporate HQ needs to slap their subdivisions down and issue a standard product naming policy for use world wide.
