.... First of all, I apologize for the shameless way I attracted you to this thread... but now you're here maybe you can help....in essence, this is a cry for help regarding air in my loop.


Here's a picture of my wc loop. When I start the system, the tubes contain blood red clear fluid...after 10-15secs the tubes fill with thousands of tiny bubbles and looks a dirty pink colour. I'm guessing that cooling is impaired by this air, but I'm really struggling to remove it.

Firstly, it stays no matter how long the machine runs for. I do have a reservoir and have filled this to the top. in the beginning, after running for a while I, the level in the res would drop and I could add more, but this has now stopped.

When the machine is off, I can see air bubbles in the loop which, naturally, rise to the highest point they can.

This is my first wc build and I've put a huge amount of time, thought and, yes, love in to it, but I have run out of ideas how to get rid of the remaining air.

This is a single loop, listed in order below.

Pumps (3x 355 with xspc triple acrylic top)
HDD block
Res
Mosfet1
Ram block
CPU block
Mosfet2
NB/sb block
Gfx Block
TFC quad rad
..and back to pump.

I have run the system with this air problem for around a yr now and recently, 2 out of 3 of the swifttech 355's have failed, so now that I have to do the dreaded drain, I'm looking at solving this problem.

Absolutely any comments, on the craziness of so much in 1 loop, the mad order, or anything else for that matter, would be really appreciated.

I have followed this forum for a while as a silent observer and have great respect for the knowledge and helpful attitude of many of the members...hopefully, you'll have some pointers for me...

Thanks in advance
Rob
