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).
4) DO NOT FORGET to remove the gray
rubber plugs covering inlet and outlet
prior to installing the tubing.
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 **).
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 ***).
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.
