Cylinder Reservoir - HELP NEEDED! CONFUSED!

Niiccckkkk123 · 8 Apr 2013 at 22:50

Hi all,

I'v been mentally setting up my system and I'v got one question I cannot seem to get around.

I want a cylinder reservoir - I want the outlet tube heading back to the reservoir to insert directly in the top of the reservoir.

My dilemma is... that with the top port in use by the returning tube, how can I fill the system with liquid???

Here's an example of what I mean..

I can't find any cylinder reservoirs with 2 ports at the top either - but I'v seem systems that have done it.

I was thinking of flipping a normal cylinder res, so there are 2 or more fill ports at the top - but most of them have a long inside tube, which would then be at the wrong end!

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Nick.

+1 to all the above. I'm curious, why mount it like that?

This was how I used to do it - with the ek res upside down

Now I use a koolance D5 top and res - I use the 'base' as my top

As others have said very unusual rad setup.

Bitspower reservoirs have 3 holes on the top and one one the bottom (no side holes)

Thanks for your replys..

The picture was just referencing how I want the reservoir to connect, I will be putting a 360 rad in the top of the case.

@shadowscotland - Did you have any problems using the res upside down?

@Ash2097 - Do you have a link fit one of those?

Cheers.

Here is my system with one fitted

Niiccckkkk123 · 9 Apr 2013 at 12:17

Exactly what I need!

Where is that res from?

Was there an inner tube inside the res?

Finally, was there a trickling sound as the water enters the res?

Cheers.

No problem, the one in my photo is a 150ml (stock due soon)

Yes there is innertube being used where the fluid returns to the res at the top. (comes with it) you can just about see it in the photo.

Version you want is the Bitspower Z-Multi

Awesome!

I want mine to look nearly exactly the same as yours.

Thanks for all your help!

No problem, post up photos when you have finished.

Hi, my is roughly the same set up, l use a small measuring jug with a fine spout, l just unscrew the top lift up and keep the tube in the water till there's a gap and fill, about 2/3rds full.
