Does anyone know how to hook up the inlet and outlet for this pump?
Greetings. This looks like a submersible pump. The water will probably go in through the grill on the front and come out of the pipe at the top. I have something similar feeding my k40 laser tube. Kind regards David
@David_Richards_djrm what kind of water do you use with yours?
I started out using plain tap water, i have since added antifreeze to it. The reservoir is around 20l it includes 4.5l of red antifreeze. I like this as it is easy to see in the pipes. I have added a flow sensor interlock to inhibit the laser unless the pump is working. Hth David
thanks @David_Richards_djrm
Hey Quilford, I Have the same pump mine came with an aftermarket brass fitting that goes in place of the black plastic piece on top. like this-

And use a hose clamp to keep it on because it can slide off and then you run the risk of damaging the laser tube with no water flow.

@Jim_Bennell_PizzaDel I did notice the tube was rather loose. Thanks for suggesting a clamp.
