dandel351 yeah that was one of the things I was concerned. If the volute is to big then I won’t build enough pressure and could loose flow after adding to many things in the loop. But to “tight of a volute” makes some noise with some un balanced impellers at full speed
Maybe you could suggest to your future customers to run a clearance check before filling the loop. I think if you used say 4 bolts on the clamp just wound in gently and use a small ball of play dough to check there is at least a 1mm gap between the impeller and the volute body perhaps? I wet the bearing of my D5 pump and briefly (5secs) powered it on before filling the loop.
Very cool that you're open to testing and doing some redesigns to your products when possible probelms occur. Your work is great and I really enjoy your content, Keep up the good work!
Grazer-One I like to see it as. Chances for improvements. I’m always trying to see what I can make or change to make things better. So any issues or critics helps
I would like to see this channel grow a lot more, I like the content a lot. I would also like you to make a reservoir for the front of the case of lian li pc011 dynamic please
Hansel Ugarte thanks a lot. I been going over and thinking about that front reservoir for the 011. I’ll have to make a prototype first and see if it’s possible (by possible I meant not to hard and not too expensive)

i just installed a barrowch inline temp oled white and it just blinks on and off real fast a bit then shows nothing. No controls or software or download... or help from company...
Brad B make sure that the cable is connected correctly as Positive, negative signal. Sometimes the 12v is on the wrong side and that’s why it could blink
@@radikult-custom okay I was hoping you had a different option that was cheaper. I too look to McMaster-Carr for a lot of metric hardware and random springs, etc. Raw material seems to be cheaper on Amazon in certain sizes but it takes a lot digging to find it. I guess I'll just have to put my big boy pants on and pay the premium
Kaleb Israel I’m not sure where you live but maybe you have a local place that sells raw materials. . I have not try amazon. I did try eBay but it should be the same. A lot of searching for what you need
@@radikult-custom yeah I can get some scrap aluminum locally (very small selection and it's $4.50 / lbs) but I don't have any local place that sells plastic at all. Closest place is hours ago. I might just use McMaster-Carr just so I don't have to search forever to get it slightly cheaper
@@radikult-custom Thank you for your help. Love the reservoirs would look super cool on my CNC machine, I dont know how many litres they hold but would certainly bring some fun to what is a dull looking machine!! I see you get the cut on CNC's. I use my 1000X1000 mm on wood, plastic and aluminium plate to make items like your reservoir over here in Spain!!
Critters made the cutout for the D5 slightly larger because a customer had a D5 that was ever so slightly larger than all the ones Mario has taken his measurements off of. The customers pump was making a noise because it was hitting the cutout walls in the reservoir so he made the new reservoirs with a larger cutout. No noise now and no noticeable decrease in flow
Kaleb Israel you are correct. I made the area around the impeller a little larger. Just because I know there could be some impellers that at high speed aren’t well balanced and could hit the surrounding area
It can't be that accurate then if it doesn't know the tube size. Maybe it's based on average inner diameter. But it doesn't need to be accurate as long as the results it gives are consistent with each other, so when the flow is twice as fast, the number shown should be twice as much. If that were the case it would still be perfectly usable for comparing speeds after making changes to loop or changes to pump speed.
Rosa Rodriguez you can search for Barrowch flow meter. Here is a link I found modmymods.com/barrowch-g1-4-oled-display-flow-meter-v2-black-fbft03-v2-black.html
performance pcs in the USA sells these flow meters, they also have the temperature meter as well, sadly no one makes one that does bot flow rate and temperature :(
I would like to see you try a different meter next... Thanks for caring. Your work and effort are second to none.
That's good information Mario. Goes to show that the pump is still producing the same or similar flow rate even with the older volute design.

Would be cool if the meter was also a temperature sensor
Bykski makes one that does just that

your bottle neck with that pump was the narrow rads .Do the same test with the thicker rad you will see a difference

noise and vibration any better ?
If I buy a reservoir now, will the changes be implemented? Or you need time to test?
p d I have made the changes already. (Since this video is about a week old since I recorded it)
How can buy a fitting screen
Ciao!

Very nice work and content.. Right on!
What kind of material is it? Aluminum? Nickel?
ABMNS PRODUCTION the Flow Meter is made of POM/Acetal and plastic front
@@radikult-custom OK but the section where the water goes through and with the holes for the fittings, what kind of material is that part?
ABMNS PRODUCTION it’s POM/Acetal the Black part where you connect the G1/4 fittings
@@radikult-custom OK Thank you :)

where do you source your acrylic? Trying to find a place to buy from that's not insanely expensive
Kaleb Israel I guy my acrylic from McMaster Carr. But they aren’t cheap by no means but I can get what I need fast

-Wouyld you be able to use that flow meter with out using a pc?
Sitges Villa Apartment Familia Scott Hi, yes you could an long as you supply 12v to the correct pins. The third pin is for rpm read out

Does this flow meter make any rattling noise?
Victor Yuzo no it doesn’t, nothing I can heard at least
@@radikult-custom thanks! All flow sensors I had before had the dreadful rattling noise. Gonna grab one on aliexpress some time soon.
Eu tenho um e ele faz sim muito barulho quando a bomba está com fluxo acima de 4L/Min. É um barulho vem irritante.
Hi, what tubing are you using in the video? Thanks
TheMattchooo it’s tubing from a local hardware store. I use it only to do quick loops and testing. 3/8 by 1/2 clear vinyl tubing
@@radikult-custom wow thats super clear!!
Awesome! Didn’t know existed in digital. Can you make me something for my define r6?
What were the changes you made?

Damn I have to buy one if these flow meters, can you change to leters per hour?
Thx for the video Mario!
AnteICash I don’t think you can. I don’t see any “button” for adjusting anything.
