Hey there. My water pump MCP655 with the speed adjust is acting funny now. When the water temp is within 10~30 degrees, pump is quiet and inaudible. As soon as the temp goes above 30 degrees, the pump starts to trap air and make lots of air bubble noises. If I disconnect the pump power and tilt the case, I can see a small air bubble float up from the outlet tube. If I let the water cool down and then warm up again, same thing will happen. No matter how many times I disconnect the pump power, there's always a small air bubble floating up. The 2 hose clamps at inlet and outlet are fully tightened. There's absolutely no air leaking into the loop from the inlet tube.
I'm using distilled water as the coolant.
Is this a faulty pump? What can I do to stop the air being trapped in the pump?
