Hi Guys,
I just acquired a used Swiftech MCP-35x pump and I'm trying to test it to make sure its working, and so far its dead. What I've done so far was to fill up a basin with water and then prepared the pump. The outlet, I put in a small piece of tubing and placed it in the basin. I hooked up the molex portion of the pumps power plug to a variable power supply... then I inverted the pump over the basin with the inlet submerged and slowly increased the voltage to 12V and NOTHING! Is there something that I'm doing wrong? I have to admit that I'm a total noob at this. I took apart the pump to check if something was a miss there, but it looks really clean, but I wiped it out just the same.
