3. Requirements for the operation of LEAKSHIELD

In order to operate LEAKSHIELD properly, there are some principles to be obser-
ved when selecting the cooling system.
LEAKSHIELD can only be used if the maximum pump pressure in the system is less
than 450 mbar. This is the case for almost all systems with one pump. For systems
with more than one pump, this must be checked accordingly, e.g. by measuring
the pressure.
The second prerequisite is that the tubing is suitable for the required vacuum.
As a braod rule the outer diameter of PVC tubing should be at least 1.5 times the
inner diameter of soft tubing.
For PUR tubing, a factor of 1.2 is usually sufficient. Hardtubes are generally suita-
ble. Without information on compatibility, we recommend testing at slightly increa-
sed negative pressure and maximum water temperature before use.
The components of the water cooling system have to be suitable for the operation
with LEAKSHIELD as well and have to withstand the necessary negative pressure
permanently. For Aqua Computer products this applies without exceptions. For
products from other suppliers, you have to check this before starting operation!
It is also important that there is sufficient air volume in the reservoir. For safe ope-
ration, there should be at least 100 ml of air in the reservoir.
To ensure safe operation, only coolants of the DP Ultra series are approved for
use. Even if many other coolants are certainly trouble-free, we cannot guarantee
the function with these coolants.
Especially coolants with particles are able to clog or even destroy the membrane
of LEAKSHIELD. Under no circumstances should coolants with flammable substan-
ces be used!

4. Mounting on the ULTITUBE reservoir

When upgrading to the LEAKSHIELD system, simply unscrew the previous cover of
the ULTITUBE reservoir and then mount LEAKSHIELD by screwing it into the ULTI-
TUBE. After mounting, you can still freely rotate the display to the desired position.
