Hi folks, this is my first post on this site and I'm looking for a little advice. I recently installed the EK A240g loop in my system and with this being my first loop of this kind I just wanted to bring up some concerns I have. I may just be over thinking this but I want to be sure.

1) My pump is making a little noise. Its not very loud and when I look up other topics asking the same question it's usually because the pump is very loud with the solution either being air in the pump or it's faulty. However I am not sure what the acceptable noise level should be if there should be any at all. It's only really audible when you are right next to it.

2) I have some air bubbles sticking to the side of the reservoir. I often see people saying it will go away after a while or give the case a little shake. Well I have tilted and nudged the case quite a bit at this point. I no longer see any large bubbles coming from the radiator or any of the blocks. Should I give it more time or am I missing something? Side note the tubing looks pretty clear. I don't see any bubbles in the tubing. The pump has been running for about 2 hours now for the leak test.

I would really appreciate any advice about this topic. Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I would like to end by saying thank you to this community. I have been visiting this site for years any time I had an issue come up and found an answer in another persons post that has saved me a lot of stress and money. I really do appreciate all the advice you folks have posted over the years.

Those small bubbles are no issue...they will work their way out but you still may have some from time to time. Not an issue there.

Also, your noise is fine, you can barely hear anything and that's normal.

No issues with what you've mentioned...but always good to ask!
