Default Dog Hair In Block

As some of you might know I have tried to get descent temps for a long time now. I have tried a chiller, nemerous TEC's (not the 437 watt) and different types of radiators. I have been through a few different pumps and still have had no luck. Well today I was over it, so I decided to pull the water block apart.
http://www.silverprop.com/cycloneevose.aspx

When I opened it up I found the thing totally blocked up with dog hair, how it got in there well I am still going through that with the dog, he is yet to talk.
If he wants to play dirty then I will have to not feed hom for a day then he will talk. He has been told to not sit on the dog forum when I am at work, I think he is busted LOL.

With a quick pull apart and a clean it came up no worries and now my 1600 LPH pump is like a fire hose and the 226 watt TEC I have had my doubts about has come to life and am getting load temps on my little opty 144 with a little OC of only 17C with an ambient of around 25C so it is looking good
If the 226 watter will do this then I can only hope good things for the 437 watter which is about to be installed over the next coming week

wish me luck

I have dog hair on everything I own. It is everywhere. Stuck in the rad, on the rug, floating in the air, on the desk... I guess that is what I get for having 2 german sheppards.

I have no idea but it was quite crazy, there was lots of it, maybe the ex girlfriend has sabotaged my rig!!

I have got a big petrol filter inline now so that will sort that problem out

WHAT?!?!?!?!?! A fuel filter in your rig?!?!?!?!?!?! *Thinks about it for a min* That isn't a bad idea, how does it effect your flow rates? You know you are supposed to change the water every 6 months right?

Hardwater, Ours make a mess if we wash em in the house, and it is to darn cold to wash em out side. We keep em brushed which helps a lot, but one of them gets a really dense coat for winter and then blows it in the spring. She is just sarting now, you can literaly pull handfuls of hair out of her coat.

The filter is for a big truck and has a massive diameter and effects flow rates minimal, with a 1600 LPH pump I can afford to loose a little

gotta love a double-coated hound--got a 100# Shep-Hound (1/2 greyhound 1/2 shepherd) and I even have dog hair in the new truck (which he has never seen inside of). Luckily we have carpet (lol) so it traps most of the hair and Schmell--but a fair amount ends up in the rigs.....

Even tried those static brushes "as seen on TV"....Washing makes it worse for a few days--temperature changes are really hairy....

Glad you figured that out T-- (write a FAQ lol)
