Details
The Aquacomputer Aqualis ECO 100 mL | Nano Coating is a tube reservoir with a filling volume of approx. 100 ml and G1/4 connection threads, and a nano coating inside its glass tube. It has no pump or pump top: both the return line and the suction line connect to the base part.

Borosilicate glass tube
Every aqualis series reservoir is equipped with a borosilicate glass tube. Tube reservoirs are often built with acrylic glass instead. In contrast, Aquacomputer says borosilicate glass is extremely hard and scratch-resistant and features superb thermal and chemical resistance, with a very low thermal expansion. On the 100 ml and 150 ml variants the tube has an outer diameter of 50 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm.
Base, top and air removal
Base and top are made from Delrin and connected by a stainless steel rod. Above the return channel into the reservoir sits a deflector plate, which is installed to effectively remove air from the water circuit. Return line and suction line both go to the connectors in the base.
ECO and XT variants
This ECO version is the plain reservoir. The LED mounting and the fill level sensor are for the aqualis XT only. The aqualis XT 100/150 ml variants feature an acrylic window in the base part, and one LED (5 mm size) can be installed into it.
Additionally, the XT variants feature an electronic fill level sensor with USB and aquabus interface, a programmable alarm output and an external temperature sensor input. For monitoring and configuration, the aquasuite software can be downloaded free of charge. In addition to USB, the 4-pin aquabus interface lets the fill level sensor connect directly to an aquaero 5 or 6 controller (not included in delivery).
On the XT, the alarm output can be configured as an rpm signal for a fan connector with fault detection (for example motherboard fan headers). It can also be used as a switched output, for example to connect a LED. Fill level and the external temperature sensor input can each raise an alarm, and that input is compatible with all Aqua Computer temperature sensors.
Nano coating
This is the nano coated version of the aqualis ECO 100 ml. The coating will cause water to roll off the inner surface of the borosilicate glass tube. All 100 ml and 150 ml variants are also available with it.
The larger aqualis 450 ml and 880 ml
The 450 ml and 880 ml variants use a wider glass tube, 75 mm in outer diameter with the same 5 mm wall thickness. Their base and top are connected by a stainless steel tube, and with it a fountain effect can be realized as an optical highlight. If the return line is connected to the center connector, the water flows through the tube up to the top of the reservoir, where it is ejected through eight nozzles. In combination with illumination, Aquacomputer calls it a real eye catcher.
A thin acrylic plate near the bottom of those reservoirs reduces air ingestion to a minimum. Alternatively, the return line goes to a lateral connector, and the water then exits directly from the base part. For this configuration a deflector plate is included, to ensure air is removed from the water circuit.
The aqualis PRO 450/880 ml variants have an acrylic window in the base part with room for up to six LEDs (5 mm size). They can be upgraded with an electronic fill level sensor at a later date. The aqualis XT 450/880 ml variants have the same window and LED mounting, with the fill level sensor built in.
What the loop needs
Fittings are not included in delivery, so order them separately: two G1/4 fittings for return and suction line, from our fittings section. A connector wider than the recess around a thread only goes in with a suitable extension, not included in delivery.

Notes
- Turned counter-clockwise, the top comes off and frees the glass tube; keep the gaskets. On reassembly, seat the gaskets in their grooves and screw the top on by hand, with moderate force and no tools.
- The stainless steel bracket fastens to the reservoir with four M4 x 6 mm screws. Use light force only so the threads in the plastic base part are not damaged.
In the box
- 1x Reservoir
- Hardware and Accessories
- 1x stainless steel bracket
