The HEATKILLER Tube series

Watercool builds the HEATKILLER® Tube Series as a modular system of high end reservoirs around a glass tube made from borosilicate glass. Every part can be exchanged on its own, so a D5 bottom can later become a DDC bottom. The outstanding features Watercool names for the series are listed here.

To account for the space availability in current cases, the glass tubes come in three sizes, 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm, from a mini-ITX build to a big tower. There are also three versions. Besides the standalone version, two have direct connections for pumps: they support D5 and DDC pumps by Lowara (formerly known as Laing, now Xylem) and their derivatives. The same D5 bottom also comes on the Tube 100 D5 and the Tube 150 D5.

Borosilicate glass and the large filling mouth

Borosilicate is a glass with very high chemical and thermic (thermal) resistance and very low heat expansion, and it is scratch-resistant. Watercool says these features make it an ideal material for reservoirs.

Thanks to the bayonet catch lid, the large filling mouth is opened with a quarter turn counterclockwise, without any tools. That makes the reservoir easy to fill, and Watercool says it has never been easier to re-fill a cooling medium.

Large volume

Watercool writes that in designing the series "we took great care not to waste any of the available volume". The reservoirs need fewer re-fills because of it, which keeps maintenance very low.

What the loop needs

A D5 pump, since this version comes without one: Watercool's own WCP D5-PWM or WCP D5-VARIO, or another of the D5 pumps. The two G1/4 ports take two fittings for your tube.

Notes

• Check all seals before the first start-up. If the reservoir leaks, check the O-rings for position and damage; with a squeezed or damaged O-ring it must not be used.
• Drain the reservoir and take it out of the loop before any change to it. In the pump versions the pump comes off first to reach the bottom screws.
• The glass tube seals with O-rings of 4 mm or 5 mm to make up for length tolerance. Use the strength you found in your reservoir; the spare O-rings for the glass tube contain both.
