What customers say
The Aquacomputer LEAKSHIELD is overwhelmingly viewed as an essential safety investment for ULTITUBE reservoir users. Enthusiasts highly value the unparalleled peace of mind this protection system offers. Reviewers consistently praise the robust engineering and seamless integration, noting it effectively mitigates the fear of catastrophic leakage in custom water cooling. The primary driver of satisfaction is the ability to actively pressure test the loop before adding coolant, a feature many find indispensable for verifying integrity. While the price is premium, users agree the cost is justified by the insurance against potential damage to high value PC components. Minor setup complexities are generally accepted by the target audience. Overall, the LEAKSHIELD is celebrated for delivering reliable leakage protection.
Know before you buy
The device uses an integrated vacuum pump to maintain negative pressure within your cooling loop. If a leak occurs, the negative pressure prevents coolant from escaping and instead draws air into the system, which the device detects to trigger an alarm.
No, the LEAKSHIELD is specifically designed for use with the Aqua Computer ULTITUBE series. It mounts directly to the reservoir to ensure a proper seal and accurate pressure monitoring.
Yes, the system simplifies the filling process by allowing you to draw coolant directly from a bottle. This reduces the risk of spills and makes it much easier to manage the initial fill of your custom loop.
If a leak is detected, the LEAKSHIELD will trigger an audible alarm buzzer to alert you immediately. You can also configure the aquasuite software to perform specific actions, such as shutting down your PC, to protect your hardware.
While the device features an integrated OLED display for real-time status updates, you need the aquasuite software installed to configure advanced settings, monitor data logs, and customize the RGB lighting. The device connects via an internal USB 2.0 header for this communication.
The negative pressure generated is relatively low and is designed to be safe for standard water cooling components. It does not negatively impact the flow rate or the cooling performance of your loop.
