Header tank

[Oreo_The_Cookie]

Can you buy a "header tanK" like the one from THG new video in a regular hardware store or pet store for a Via Aqua 1300 pump, or something similiar

Descibe the header tank: is it like a reservoir?
Or is it some kind of manifold with multiple lines going in coming out?

There are many different types of reservoirs/bleeder tanks around, and some of the kits come with them.

Doesn't even need to be exactly that, any kind of prebuilt reservoirs that are easily available (Canada doesn't have to many Watercooling stores and I don't havea credit card)

Oreo,

It looks like Tom's Hardware has some code to prevent deep-linking to their website. I only saw a generic "Tom's Hardware hammer" graphic instead of the actual picture.

It looks like this is from an article they did on water cooling using an Innovotek kit. See the link at

What they refer to as a header tank is usually called a reservoir on the boards here. Many people just make their own out of anything from tupperware to PVC piping.

If you search for "Reservoir" you'll find tons of threads.

Hope this helped,
Mark

what i typicaly sugest is that you just get a gallon or so rubbermade cantaner with a lid. it doesnt have to be sapcificaly rubbermade just somthing like that. then you will need to find the fittigns for you hoses to hook up to these can be found at any hardware store you will probably need 3/8 or 1/2" od fittings i used brass and pvc ones they work about the same. once you get it check the threading and find a drill bit thats about the same size as that slightly smaller is best so that it can thread into the hole to make a watertight seal without having to use sealant. to then just wrap the threading on the barbs with teflon tape also avalible at any hardware store and screw them togeather one on each side of wall of the cantainer you can put a pump insid e and use a piece of hose to atach it to the outside barb or use an inline pump easily.
