Borosilicate glass tube
Every aqualis series reservoir is equipped with a borosilicate glass tube, where tube reservoirs often use acrylic glass. 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.
Base, top and air removal
Base and top are made from Delrin and connected by a stainless steel rod. A deflector plate is installed above the return channel into the reservoir to effectively remove air from the water circuit. Return line and suction line both go to the connectors in the base.
Fill level sensor and alarm output
Additionally, this XT version carries an electronic fill level sensor (an mps pressure Δ40, with its pressure equalizing membrane in the top), 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 can directly connect the sensor to an aquaero 5 or 6 controller (not included in delivery), such as the aquaero 6 LT. The alarm output can be configured as an rpm signal for a fan connector with fault detection (for example motherboard fan headers), or used as a switched output to connect a LED.
Fill level and temperature input can each raise an alarm. The input is compatible with all Aqua Computer temperature sensors, for example the G1/4 temperature sensor (53067).
Lighting option
The XT variants feature an acrylic window in the base part, and one LED (5 mm size) can be installed in the mounting hole between the two water connectors. A little glue secures it under the stainless steel cover, which is held by one screw.
Other versions
Most variants, all 100 ml and 150 ml ones included, are also available with a nano coating that will cause water to roll off the inner surface of the glass. Many reservoirs are also available with pump top adapters and pumps pre-installed.
What the loop needs
Fittings are not included in delivery: order two G1/4 fittings, for return and suction line, from our fittings section. A connector wider than the recess around its thread needs a suitable extension. The coolant is moved by a separate pump from our pumps section.
aquasuite software
The reservoir comes with a non-expiring license for the aquasuite version current at device activation, plus at least six (6) months of update service. Installing and activating it requires an internet connection.

Notes
- The top unscrews counter-clockwise and frees the glass tube; keep the gaskets, seat them in their grooves on reassembly and use moderate force, no tools.
- Four M4 x 6 mm screws fasten the stainless steel bracket to the reservoir; four more with nuts mount it to the PC. Screws in the plastic base part take light force only.
