There's a problem though... as u can see from the last pic my inlet compression barb is leaking..

After tightening the barb, it's ok... tested for 3hrs.
But after shifting back into my room, the barb leaked again. Lucky i was paying close attention as i suspect it will leak.

Tighten barb and re-adjust tubing n re-tighten tubing.. now not leaking. I suspect O-ring of Compression not having proper fit.

Wait for Q9550 come then 1 shot do the Inlet barb. Gonna put white tape.

Damn tired after 2 days of intense cleaning, replace speaker cable and setting up WC. WC took me whole of today. Yesterday was doing MO collection then home replacing speaker cable..

did u use pliers to tighten the barb?... if so, made sure oring didn slip?...

but im pretty sure the oring did not slip... bits power barbs have a undercut (groove) for the oring to sit properly.. and they can never slip..

nice wc bro.
good luck on fixing the leak and bubbles.


btw, your pic for "Setup w/o coolant" and "Setup with Feser Red coolant.. testing for leakage" is the same.

Hmm... froze bro I rem reading off Martin's review on the GTZ that you need to add an extra O-Ring onto the barbs. Tho he stated its coz of the Swiftech logo... you might just wanna try that. I'm not the biggest fan of teflon tape since it leaves bits and pieces behind if not used properly...

http://www.martinsliquidlab.com/Swif...TZ_Review.html

Quote:
And by popular demand, yes the Apogee GTZ will fit compression fitting with a small trick. Because the top has recess barb slots for o-rings, you need to grab an extra o-ring from another unused barb and slip it over the comrpession fitting threads. Othewise the compression fittings will sit too low and impact the swiftech logo. Not a big deal though, just slip them over and tighten the whole thing down.
