Just setting up the DK - 2000 PUMP which came with the lazer cutter.

Just setting up the DK - 2000 PUMP which came with the lazer cutter. I just want to make sure that I am setting this up properly so that there are no disasters.

I read a blog which said to place silicon around the brass fitting as the contact is not great? Would you advise this?

On a video on u-tube the water inlet is attached to the hose but with a different fitting. Have I used the right connector? a The pump is then placed into a bucket of water, the water outlet hose is then placed into the bucket.

New to all of this so any advice most welcome.

This is the same way I set mine up and have had no issues.

Great thank you. It seems to be working well.
