Help please
 
I just setup my water system. I have Maze 2, Mag 250 pump, and auqacoil rad. I have it set up pump-rad-block-pump. It is set up as inline with a tube to let air out at the highest point.

The problem is, is that when I run the pump for a while it pushes all the water out of the bleeder tube.

I have distilled water and a little RV antifreeze.

What am I doing wrong?

When you say "pushes out" do you mean it actually expels the coolant into the case? If so I'd recommend plugging one end of the bleeder before you turn on the pump.

If you mean that it fills up with air, then just add more coolant until that stops happening.

You might try using a tap from an aquarium setup to seal the tube. Makes it easier to refill.

I have tried to get all of the air out and I know that just about all of the air was out. when I turn on the pump, the coolant slowly rises until it comes out of the tube and leaves more air in the line.

Also I know I saw a good article about how to wire my mag 250 to my power supply. Does anyone know where the article is? I cannot find it for the life of me.

Thanks

Put a cork in the top of the tube, it should stop it from shooting water into your case.

Your pump is sucking air into the system.
