| H2-Hoe  |  Yes, and if you do it this way, you should plan to fill and blled the system before installing the components if possible. Otherwise your going to get a good workout lifting, and turning, and flipping, to get all the air out of it. Of course carefull placement of the components would make that part easier. | |

| Apex Master Tech  | lol lifting and turning the rig isn't required, just add water and cycle the pump until the t line is empty, then add more water.....repeat until you have enough water in the loop for the pump to run and then just monitor the t line and add water as required.....takes about 30-45 min to get enough water in the system to run....then monitor the loop for the next 3-4 days as the micro bubbles collect in the t line you will need to add a little more water to top er off | |

| Lokie's Personal WU-Hoe | Just some extra info...may be common sense, but it doesn't hurt...using a funnel sticking directly in the tube and then pouring the distilled water into it is a good way to go about things. I use this way to fill up my res and it works great, and I assume it would with a T connector. BTW, res' are a main part of a WC circuit [IMHO] since they add that 'coolness' factor  | |

| Funky Psych-Hoe  | The T works great for me too. The only thing is make sure you seal it good. I actually use a threaded barb stuck into the end with a cap. I use teflon tape to seal it once I am done filling the system. Oh yeah and little funnel too. I actually fill the full length of the tube (on day two the fill line should have dropped back down to the bottom and mine is about 9 inchs long) with zerex as a full dose of coolant and that works great for me so I don't have to risk sucking in coolant when first priming the pump and I don't have to try and figure out if I have the correct ratio. | |

| H2-Hoe | Pscho, that's a pretty strong dose of antifreeze, and antifreeze isn't even that great an additive. It's harsh on your system, the tubing, and it increases viscosity which slows down your flow and reduces performance. It isn't too bad in moderation, but if you get too much, like I used too, it's not so great at all. I liked that green color when I first started so I always wound up over doing it. Three months later I was replacing my yellow brittle tubing. | |
