What's wrong with this picture?

Look at the picture below and tell me what is wrong. After someone figures it out I will tell the story.

I know nothing about WCing, but I would have to guess you took your pump apart and when you put it back together you realized you forgot something very important.

NeoSpawn · Jul 13, 2006

Well first off for some reason the main thing that moves the water is not inside of the machine ^^ and secondly, is that melting right by the plastic barb thats showing the most?

You... epoxied the pump shut... and left out the impeller.

Sephis · Jul 13, 2006

I took the pump apart to do an impeller mod to quiet it down. I epoxied the impeller to it's magnet. I epoxied the pump closed to stop some leaking. Afterwards I realized I forgot to put the impeller back in the pump before I epoxied it shut. So much for my via aqua.

You could always hack it open with a dremel, then fix it back together with a TON of epoxy. :-/

Maybe try heating it up, cutting partway through it, and breaking it free :shrug:

what kind of epoxy are you using?

Takes courage to admit something like that.

But must thank you, highly entertaining LOL.

Sounds like a good excuse to buy a D5 or a DDC. :beer:

Extremely... It seems stupid to forget the main part of the pump, but I'm sure I would have done the exact same thing

Well, now you get to get a D5

Sephis · Jul 13, 2006

Heh, I'm using the five minute epoxy from Wal-Mart. It's good stuff, just 40 minutes or so after epoxying the pump together I couldn't break any of the connectors free. I tried using a pipe wrench to try and twist them loose, but all I managed to do was get some really bad cracking sounds from the pump. I suppose D5 it is. Thing is, Iv'e only owned this pump for about 8 hours.

Mine arrives tomorrow...

Thanks for that link ziggo, I'll look into it. I'm not using any high restriction parts (maze4 and a B'ville heatercore) so that pump would suit me just fine.

NoL · Jul 13, 2006

Would have been better if u didnt realize it and set up your water loop.

tech2487 · Jul 13, 2006

i think the whole thing about owning if for a whole 8 hrs is the best part. lol. better luck next time tho. its always a shame to see a good piece of computer equipment go.

knightwolf6543 · Jul 14, 2006

(i know this was already anwsered) well their sonny jim it looks as if the blue thing fell out of the ceiling and magicaly gled ur little black box togather

try a exacto knife and just make small fine cuts. locktite also has a cleaner for removing super glue and other things,(dont have the bottle to look it up) u might try that out.

Yeah, same with me, for now I'll only have a MAZE4 and a BIP II in the loop but once I get some more cash the Apogee is coming.

deathknight suggested while back re breaking epoxy - put in in the freezer for half hour in plastic bag then take it out and try cracking it of straight away
