Okay, I've been struggling with this and it's frustrating the heck out of me. I'm trying to set up a watercooling system, but no matter what I try and do, I can't get rid of the air. I'm using a T-line, a DDC, a BIP 2x120, and a Maze 3 (woo oldschool).
My loops is as follows:
DDC outlet ---> Maze 3 ---> BIP ---> T-line ---> DDC inlet
The BIP is vertical, fittings at the top, and the T-Line is at the highest point of the system. The DDC and Maze 3 are at the lowest point. If it makes a difference, I'm using 1/2 OD, 3/8 ID tubing.
The main problem is that it seems to be pumping the water through at such high velocity that the bubbles have no time to escape up the T, and just recirculate. Around every 3-5 seconds, I can see a tiny bubble or two (not even a 10th of a drop of water, barely visible) go floating up the T-Line. At this rate it will take days to bleed. Am I missing something or do I have my loop set up wrong? It can't be good to put all this air through the pump...
