Laing DDC Reservoir and Pump

 
 


Regarding the reservoir, Aquatuning is using a unit, which has been made from acrylic glass entirely. Thanks to the fact, that the reservoir has been very well manufactured, all parts fit perfectly. Nevertheless you should be aware, that this reservoir is only compatible with the Laing DDC pump. A closer look at the pump shows that it is able to move 420 liters of water within one hour. If you consider the compact size as well as the low operating noise, then this is a good result. When checking the threads we once again find G1/4 inch connections.

Fittings and tubing



When it comes to tubings there are transparent ones with an outer diameter of 13 millimeter and an inner diameter of 10 millimeters. These tubes, they certainly look nice, but they kink quite easily. If you want to achieve a tight bending radius you should consider wrapping these tubes in springs, which you'll also find in Aquatunings shop. 
Regarding the fittings, Aquatuning uses 13/10mm ,1/4 inch ones, which are made from copper entirely. Those fittings offer great looks and thanks to the fact that they are quite big it's easy to tighten tubings without the need of a gripper.

Fan

 


A closer look at the fans reveals that Aquatuning bundles this high-quality radiator with Noiseblocker e-Loop B12-2, 120 millimeter fans. They feature a 3-pin header and run at 1300 rpm. If you don't use a fan controller or a voltage regulation adapter, the fans will be silent. If you do reduce the rpm you can make them inaudible. Aquatuning chose to bundle this radiator with excellent fans and it's not only the performance and the noiselevel which is impressive. They fit perfectly regarding their black and white design.
