A modular reservoir series

The HEATKILLER Tube Series is Watercool's modular system of high end reservoirs, each built around a tube made from borosilicate glass. Modular means that each part can be exchanged separately later on: the D5 bottom of this version, for example, can be swapped for a base that takes a DDC pump. Here is the product information, with the outstanding features Watercool listed.

Three sizes, three versions

To account for the different space availability in current cases, the glass tubes come in 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm. That gives a matching tube for every system from mini-ITX to a big tower, and this is the middle size. Besides a standalone version, there are versions with direct connections for pumps. They support D5 pumps by Lowara (formerly known as Laing, now Xylem) and their derivatives, and original DDC pumps, in their own pump chambers. The same D5 version also comes as the shorter HEATKILLER Tube 100 D5 and the taller HEATKILLER Tube 200 D5.

What the loop needs

Two G1/4 ports take two fittings for your tube size. A bare D5 pump motor needs no preparation. If you own a LAING/LOWARA D5 with its original cover, remove that cover first: turn the large ring left to detach the pump motor.

Notes

• When installing or removing the D5 pump, take care not to squeeze or otherwise damage its cable.
• To fit the pump, take the D5 lock ring off the bottom (M4x12 screws), turn the empty reservoir upside down and put the O-ring in place. Guide the pump cable through the lock ring before the pump goes on, then tighten the M4x12 screws evenly across. A spare O-ring for the D5 pump is available.
• Check all seals before the first start-up; with squeezed or damaged O-rings the reservoir must not be used.
• The glass tubes use O-rings of 4 mm or 5 mm to make up for length tolerance. Reuse the same strength you found in your reservoir. Watercool's replacement kit contains both strengths, and the O-rings for the glass tube are in stock as a spare part.
• Drain the reservoir and take it out of the loop completely before you alter it.
