Quick Reservoir orientation question...

Hey everyone I'm just wondering if i mount my res sideways will the inlet (top) /outlet (bottom) be OK at these levels...

Should be fine but I would advise against mounting it that way until youre fully bled as any air bubble might get sucked through and damage the pump.

That'll be fine, but make sure you're not going to have issues bleeding your loop.

Thanks for the swift replys guys, is that all it takes to fudge a pump just an airbubble? or is it just a chance that it could? thanks again and Happy New Year! - Adam

Air bubbles won't do it any harm as long as you've got a flow going. Running it dry for a bit will wreck it.

Slim chance. If a bubble enters the pump its similar to dry running as well its air not coolant. I imagine it would take a fair beating but why risk it

Happy new year to you too.

Keep the coolant level above the outlet and there is no issue. Run the reservoir up right while getting the biggest bubbles out, but should be fine once its been topped up, to run it any way you want.
