TESTING THE LOOP

To ensure the installation of EK components was successful, we

recommend you perform a 24-hour leak test.

When your loop is complete and ﬁlled with coolant, connect the

pump to a PSU outside your system. Do not connect power to any

of the other components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump run

continuously. Inspect all parts of the loop, and in case the coolant

leaks, ﬁx the issue and repeat the testing process.

To prevent possible damage, please ensure that all hardware is dry

before the system is powered on.

WARRANTY

Our products are warranted against defects of materials and quality for

a period of 24 months, starting with the date of delivery to the end-user.

During this period, products will be repaired or have parts replaced at

our discretion, provided that 1) the product is returned to the agent from

whom it was purchased; 2) the product has been purchased by the end-

user and has not been used for commercial purposes; 3) the product has

not been misused, handled carelessly, or used in a manner other than the

way described in the instructions manual. This warranty does not confer

rights other than those expressly set out above and does not cover any

claims for consequential loss or damage. This warranty is offered as an

extra beneﬁt and does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

This warranty is voided if the product comes in contact with aggressive

UV additives or other improper liquids. EK water blocks are sealed with a

warranty-voiding circular label, proving the water block has withstood a

pressure leak test. Removing the label will void the leak-free guarantee,

but not the guarantee on the product itself. Any other RMA issues can

be reported to EK Customer Support at www.ekwb.com/support for

further analysis.
