PUMP INSTALLATION
General Use
The MCP350™ pump is a
magnetically driven centrifugal pump
featuring a 12 V DC brushless
motor. It requires no maintenance
when used with de-mineralized
water and the appropriate anti-fungal
additives. We recommend using 5 to
10% 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, and also features a
second wire equipped with a 3-pin
connector designed to connect to a
motherboard fan header, and to
report the impeller rotational speed
(RPM sensor).
Physical installation
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. In general, we
recommend installation of the pump
at the bottom of the chassis.
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. Screws &
grommets are also provided for
permanent installation, and require
drilling holes in the chassis (see
permanent installation in the
following page).

Pump installation & operating precautions:
The MCP350™ pump should never be run dry, even for a quick test. You should always prime the pump with fluid
before you start operating it. With filled lines, turn the inlet/outlets upward to ensure there is no air bubble in the
impeller.
Use of coloring die or fluorescent additives containing particulate fillers will cause excessive wear to the pump’s
impeller bearing.
