you called your res a radiator.

edit: get medium speed yates for your rad.
Ya but how are you going to fill it when it gets low when you have your intake at the top of the reservoir? I like to keep my top openings open so I can fill it from there... makes it so much easier and makes it take a longer time between fills, other than that looks perfect nice loop man.

i would fill the res up more, that much turbulance and " white water " is causing air bubbles...

air bubbles = bad fill the res up with a bout 3/8" of air in the res
so like 85% full

also, i didnt see any clamps on your hoses, either get hose clamps or use zipties

Nice setup alamo695. Just a word of caution that airating your loop by churning oxygen into the distilled water will increase oxidization of your parts. I'd switch your reservoirs intake to avoid this.

A higher oxygen content in your water may also feed any microbes or algae that would otherwise not exist in the absence of O2, and can cause scumming/filming of your acrylic parts when using certain additives.

You may be fine either way. Just thought I'd add my my 2 cents.

Edit: just saw your follow post. gz.

I have used plastic clamps for years. They are fine as long as you use O rings with capture recesses on fittings and screw them in correctly. You're looking good man.
