how long could you run an eheim pump do you even turn it off?
Since am new to watercooling alittle bit i was wondering how long could you leave your comp on say if i wanna play rtcw or moh all day long will that not be possible how long could i run it ?
|
As long as you cool the water the pump is good for maybe a decade or so...
|
yup. its actually GOOD to ALWAYS leave the pump on. the more you start and stop the pump, the more wear you put on it. These things are fish pumps. A fish tank is always being pumped. The reason they last forever is because they are meant to just pump forever, not on and off constantly.
|
no need to turn off your pump, infact turning it on and off everytime you start your rig will greatly shorten it's lifespan.
|
hmm thats good and bad dam i cant leave my comp on when i goto bed couse it will drive me crazy with the noise my room aint to big, but its good to know that if i wanted to i could
|
thats the beauty of an Eheim, once it is the air ia properly bled and assuming you have the pump isolated from vibrating the case Eheims are damn near totally silent. With my 1250 I literally have to get my ear within about a foot to hear it.
|
you dont have to leave your box on
just your pump |
Weeduser420, your comp doesn't need to be on with all it's fans to have the pump on, you can turn the comp off and leave the pump on

They last at least this long
Well, I have two on my aquariums that have been running for 9 years non-stop except for quarterly cleanings and the rare power outage due to storms :D
|
I wish I could find a good pump locally. Petsmart and HomeDepot just sell submersible pumps. :shrug:
|
petsmart does sell the Danner Supreme MAG-DRIVE pumps, and models 2, 3, 5, 7 and 12 do have in line capability. you can also order them from their website if your local petsmart doesnt have them in stock.

One of my long time sources
You can get almost any pump here (look in the fish supplies) at decent prices.
|
danners do have a habit of leaking when running inline though
|
around the housing right? nothing a $2 tube of water-pump RTV silicone cant fix...
|
Yeah, thats all it is. People hate modifying stuff though
|
lol, well if youre watercooling your system, i dont think it would be that big a deal (as thats a big mod in and of itself) :p :D
