General Use

The MCP300 pump is a magnetically powered centrifugal pump,
featuring a watertight synchronous motor. It requires no maintenance
when used with de-mineralized water, and the appropriate anti-fungal
additives (20% common anti-freeze, or 5% Swiftech’s HydrX,
Zerex or RedLine coolant).

Although this pump is fully submersible, it is configured for inline use
rather than submersed. The pump is shipped with built-in anodized
aluminum quick-connect fittings for 1/2” OD tubing (3/8” ID), and also
supports larger or smaller sizes tubing with optional accessories listed
in the table above.

Physical installation

The pump can be installed either:

! Horizontally: using the built-in hinged brackets with suction

cups, or

! Vertically: using the provided Velcro harness and brackets.
If the computer is moved, or shipped, we recommend always using the
harness for safety, in either horizontal or vertical installation.

Horizontal Installation, using built-in suction cups: unfold the
brackets as shown in Figure 1, and place pump in convenient location.

Connecting the tubing

Cut the end of the tubes perfectly square. It is absolutely
imperative to use the provided tube inserts with clear vinyl
(soft) tubing, as shown in figure 5 below. A little bit of
grease spread around the perimeter of the tubing as shown
in fig. 6 will help insert them into the fittings.

Make sure that the tubes are fully inserted into the fitting. The tip
of the plastic tube inserts should be flush with the inlet and outlet
openings, as shown in figure 8 below. Inserting the tubes
requires a firm push, accompanied by a twisting motion.
