General Use

The MCP600 pump is a magnetically
driven centrifugal pump featuring a 12 V
DC motor. It requires no maintenance
when used with de-mineralized water and
the appropriate anti-fungal additives. We
recommend using 5% Swiftech’s HydrX
as an additive. The pump is designed to
be connected to your computer power
supply using the standard Molex 4 pin
connectors.

Physical installation

1) Determine the best location for your
pump by observing how the tubing will be
routed to the rest of the circuit. Sharp
bends in the tubing should always be
avoided to prevent kinks, which will
reduce or completely prevent flow of the
cooling fluid.

2) In general, we recommend installation
of the pump at the bottom of the chassis.

3) The base of the pump features a soft
neoprene pad coated with strong adhesive
material. Once an appropriate location for
the pump has been determined, simply
peel-off the pad’s protective paper, and
press the pump against the chassis
surface. The surface should be clean, and
non greasy. Thru-bolts are also provided
for permanent installation, and require
drilling holes in the chassis (see
permanent installation page 2).

Pump operating precautions:

The MCP600 pump should never be
run dry, even for a quick test. You

should always prime the pump with fluid
before you start operating it (see warranty
note *).

Use of coloring die or fluorescent
additives containing particulate fillers will

cause excessive wear to the pump’s
impeller bearing (see warranty note **).

A note of caution: During approximately the first 24 hours of operation, the pump will emit a slight bearing noise, more noticeable from the rear
of the pump. This is completely normal, and will gradually disappear.

Do not utilize small diameter or flow restrictive
fittings in the pump inlet line. Minimum line inner
diameter is 3/8”. An example would be a reservoir with

¼” fittings. This will cause the pump impeller to cavitate,
lose prime, stop pumping and damage the pump (see
warranty note ***).
