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

[Phatboy69]

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.
