It Wont Bleed!!!

[JFettig]

ok i installed my system with the T rite after the cpu, so it hasta go 90degrees then down to the rad, but all the bubles dont go up the bleed tube they jsut go along with the flow... i cant get ANY of the bubbles out! except when i turn off the pump and let the bubles go up and then i switch it on and off and let the bubles come out

i cant fill it outside of my case cince i have VERY LITTLE room to move ANYTHING inside there...

heres a pic of what it looks like.....
(my ms paint skills)

thats cause ur flow forces it down....try having the tube go up thn have it hit the t-split....unlike the way u have it (according to ur picture, mad paint skillz btw =P) going down

 

[JFettig]

its more like an arc, but now it wont reach i think, not enough tubing! NOO!!! but ill go try... and hopefully the hoses dont pop off......EEK!

 

[JFettig]

nothing goes up the tube still.....
i do raise it above the outlet so its all upsloaping.... and nothing.....
i hafta shut the pump off for the bubles to go up.....
and this thing is pumpin so fast! i cant hardly see the bubles go by!

 

[Haddy]

what size pump are u using...it may be too powerfull (omg did i just sya that there wuz TOO MUCH POWER!)

 

[JFettig]

hehe its a maxijet 1200, 295gph

and another thing i did try is pinching off the tube rite under the T and it did nothing....

 

[JFettig]

how bout this? would this work???

iv seen owenators system like this,... with the bleed tube rite above the pumps outlet.....

 

[JFettig]

DAH!! i forgot the pic!

 

[Haddy]

i dunno only thing i can suggest is take it all out and go fill it and bleed it @ ur kitchen sink....maybe somebody with more know-how then i can help u

 

[JFettig]

it wont work to put it in full here is what my system actually looks like......

mabe becuase you say the bubbles go by so quick that they dont have a chance to rise up the bleed tube due to the water going so fast it just takes it around again. If this was so it would take along time to bleed, but eventually it would have to......trying to explain......ummm say u had a baloon and u wanted it to rise straight up to the ceiling(like your your bleed tube) but suddenly a strong breeze(current of water) came and pushed it way right really fast it would not rise straight up. I dunno im probably wrong because many people have those same gph pumps and they got it working. Just for a try mabe slow down yo pump and see if it works you could do this by simply kinking the hose enough to slow it but not stop it. anyway give it a go and tell me if it works. if anyone has any better ideas let em rip and correct me if i am wrong.

yea i tried rite after the T and i think ill try rite after the pump!

 

[JFettig]

ok that didnt work. but i can feel how strong that pump is! its actually kinda hard to pinch that tubing!

 

[Cougar522]

hmmm i dunno what to do..... let me think bout it for a bit and ill see if we can figuer something out.

 

[JFettig]

i think im gonna go play with some things and see what i can do.... maby mount everything outside of the case, wait i dont want to do that..... then its not portable........

 

[JFettig]

ok i took all of my system out of my comptuer and tried so many things! but nothing works!!! i put the T rite after the pump before the block, put it before the block in a diff position than before...i dont know what the deal is!!!

 

[Cougar522]

mabe you have some sort of weird suction going on.... possibly try empting it outside of your case and filling it steadily through the bleed hole util you have the system with enough water in it i really havent the slightest????

 

[Roger24]

Have you tried with a temporary resevoir, like described near the bottom of this page http://www.dangerden.com/Instructions/water_block_system.htm ?

 

[JFettig]

ok i did try filling it outside the case, and had no luck, im gonna be gone all today so ill try it tomoro but by then i mite have bought a full tower wich will help things out A LOT

so im really not sure how im gonna work this thing

im kinda wonderin if the T is for 3/8tubing and its nylon and the opening is only 1/4in so maby its acting like a venturi and going to fast.....

 

[Cougar522]

ok tell us if it works with the full tower
