So I just recently moved and I took the chance to redo my loop and fix a couple of bonehead (or beginner) mistakes.
So once I got the loop mostly filled and got most of the air bubbles out I noticed that the water level in the loop would surge up and downfairly drastically. By that I'm talking a good 4-6" change of level in a 1/2 ID (3/4 OD) tube.
I have a few ideas as to what might be going on, but I am unsure if any are correct. Right now I have the loop closed off to prevent it from shooting water out the T-line I use to fill, but I can still hear the water surging.
So heres the parts list of what I'm using within my loop.
EK-Supreme HF Block
2x EK-FC480 GTX for Nvidia GTX
Swiftech MCR320 QP Radiator
Swiftech MCR220 QP Radiator
XSPC Dual Acrylic Top for Laing DDC
Swiftech MCP355 Pump
Swiftech MCP35X Pump
I have check all of the tubing to ensure there are no kinks or other issues and everything looks good. I also thought that maybe because I have two different pumps it could be causing the problem, due to different speeds, but when I looked at the speeds they were within 100-300 RPM of each other all the time.
So any ideas?
