Wow that is quite the filter set up. I would guess you live in a humid area?
Your water pump will benefit greatly in flow rate if you have your reservoir on the same level as your compressor.
Nice touch with the remotely mounted temp sensor readout.

Indeed.
The pressure most pumps are able to deliver ( im thinking pumps for watercooling a PC ) are not super big, and there you often use hose / pipe with a ID of 12 mm at least.
Also the reservoir i would keep that enclosed
On my PC i am using the popular Laing D5 pump, but in my case it is build into the bottom of the reservoir.

Current setup only cool the CPU ( 12 core threadripper ) using a 240 mm Radiator with 2 X 120 mm low noise fans on it.

Bio,
Small Rubbermaid stool goes in foreground laundry sink, then 5 gallon bucket on that. You taught me well, air fill level above everything and water level with compressor. I call Florida home, so this garage gets very humid in summer. Not bad now, though. Used velcro for temp sensor, impossible to read, otherwise. Tape-mounted vibration meter on machine was idea from another member, wish I could recall to give credit. Hard to see but 10" fan is just on other side of compressor. Thanks for all your help and also for info on how to post photos. Don't know what we'd do without you.

Bio,
Now I see what you mean, no, that old blue bucket is just for filling birdbath, nothing to do with Yong Heng. My 5 gallon bucket was just off scene. I break water cooling system down when not in use, set 5 gallon water bucket on floor. On laundry day I empty bucket in washer, then refill bucket at next air fill session. I also blow some air from upright compressor thru brass fittings on Yong Heng till air coming out feels dry.

Thanks, Bio, I had a good teacher. Is there something wrong with a guy who enjoys filling his guns as much as he does shooting them? If so, we might have a problem here.
