General Use
The MCP300 pump is a magnetically powered centrifugal pump,
featuring a watertight synchronous motor. It requires no maintenance
when used with de-mineralized water, and the appropriate anti-fungal
additives (20% common anti-freeze, or 5% Swiftech’s HydrX
,
Zerex  or RedLine coolant).
Although this pump is fully submersible, it is configured for inline use
rather than submersed. The pump is shipped with built-in anodized
aluminum quick-connect fittings for 1/2” OD tubing (3/8” ID), and also
supports larger or smaller sizes tubing with optional accessories listed
in the table above.
Physical installation
The pump can be installed either:
! Horizontally: using the built-in hinged brackets with suction
cups, or
! Vertically: using the provided Velcro harness and brackets.
If the computer is moved, or shipped, we recommend always using the
harness for safety, in either horizontal or vertical installation.
Horizontal Installation, using built-in suction cups: unfold the
brackets as shown in Figure 1, and place pump in convenient location.

pad, “floating” retention now provides secure
and vibration free installation.
