Laing DDC Pump

[daza]

Ok Ive got a Laing DCC-1 pro pump with a Petra top on it and I'm just curious as to whether I've got a borked one as it works fine after it powered up but theres usually a few seconds after I hit the power where the pump does nothing then it springs to life is this usual or should i be concerned??

You should probably talk to whoever you got it from?

Think mine kicks into action pretty rapidly.

Ok a little update to this the shop that I bought the pump from got an email back form laing saying:

"When Laing first started to produce water pumps for use with watercooling applications, the DDC wouldnt start with older low power PSU's becuase the start up amps drawn by the whole system inc the pump was too great.. This is Version 1 - White Impellor"

"Version 2 followed with a software update and a new design impellor (Brown/Black) which allowed the pump to restart every 10 seconds if there was not enough power coming from the PSU (which in your case is not a problem) and also has a time delay start up so the Mobo/CPU/VGA/Ram all start up first then the DDC powers up.. Usually 5-15 seconds the delay is."

"Version 3 which laing now stock (we only have blue as well now) has a newly designed Blue impellor which is supposed to shift the water more efficiently and also has the same start up & auto restart software as Version 2"

Which fits into my 3-4 second delay as Ive got a version 2 pump and what the guys have been sayong over at bit-tech forums, hope this helps others.
