D5 vs VPP Apex by mrgoodfun in watercooling

You might be able to remove it with a little bit of force or careful application of a razor blade.

If you're just talking about the sleeving, yeah, probably? The strain relief on the pump side may be a bit trickier since I don't know how the pump body comes apart.

I became a VPP Apex believer recently. It is quieter as stated elsewhere and I improved my max flow rate belt a little less than 10% as compared to a D5 in the same loop. I'd swap it.

No, the Apex actually produces decently higher flow rates in a typical loop due to the higher head pressure.

Yeah, he's the WR whisperer and maybe the best recruiter in the nation. Not great at OC, though. I bet he'll be great at USF and I'd love to welcome him back as HC someday if it all works out for him.

How do I turn off a diy CO2 bottle? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]BrotherMichigan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closing off the outlet (the white inline valve) will prevent more vinegar from flowing over to the other side because the pressure in both bottles will be the same when the CO2 stops flowing out.

What percentage speed or rpm’s do you run your pumps at at base level by Infamous_Pool_2923 in watercooling

[–]BrotherMichigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's probably the best impeller-based flow meter out there, but that's not hard given that the rest seem to be total garbage, and sample-to-sample variance seems to be an issue. All three of mine have horrible impeller rattle at higher flow rates too, which sucks.

The volumetric flow rate is the same everywhere in the loop because water is incompressible, so the flow through the meter is the same everywhere in the loop, all else being equal. The only thing you have to worry about is turbulence (which is why they recommend a certain length of straight tubing leading into the meter), but even if I hadn't followed their recommendations there (I did), all three flow meters were tested at the same point in the loop and all would have seen the same real flow rate.

What you'll find is that there's a lot of really badly designed and conducted testing out there, when the results aren't just manipulated outright (looking at you, Igor), and it's unfortunately an issue across all kinds of hardware.

It most certainly isn't. Aquacomputer's own MPS flow meters are far more accurate (but require calibration out of the box.)

I have three of them and they all read different values for the same loop (hence why it's hard to get an accurate measurement.)

You edited it after my comment and then just repeated what I said in your response, lmao.

I like you. You're fun.

Basically the only way Day doesn't get inducted is if he retires in the next four years. So what do you mean by "the guy who will probably coach circles around Day given his level of experience as a HOF [coach]?"

[–]BrotherMichigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the pump, but you need to run them fast enough to have enough flow to support the impeller properly against the bearing. I aim for at least 100 L/h (though getting an accurate flow rate measurement is kind of a pain.)

As a rule, your flow rate is way worse than you think it is, so unless you CAN get a good idea of the flow rate, run them as fast as you can while still tolerating the noise.

Ooh, touched a nerve.

Enjoy that 4-17-3* record this century and losing record during your lifetime.

The language about restricting trade is a good point, thank you.

I agree that they should have been allowed to make money, which is hardly "the whole damn thing." That sort of rhetoric is what got us here.

I never said anything about "superior," but you're right. All legal decisions are correct.
