Know before you buy
No, the Alphacool ES Orbiter is strictly designed for use with clear, transparent coolants. Using opaque or pastel fluids can clog the integrated filter and potentially damage the internal components.
The dual-pump configuration provides a higher flow rate and increased pressure, which is essential for pushing air out of complex custom loops quickly. This setup significantly reduces the time spent venting your system during the initial fill.
Yes, the unit requires a 12V DC power source to operate its 39W pumps. You will need to ensure you have a compatible power connection available to run the station independently of your PC's power supply.
The integrated filter is designed to protect your loop components by trapping impurities, but it should be checked periodically. Because the unit features a large reservoir and accessible ports, maintenance is straightforward, though you should always ensure the system is powered down before performing any cleaning.
The Orbiter features a maximum pumping height of 3.125 meters and a flow rate of 350 liters per hour. This is more than sufficient to handle the pressure requirements of most complex, multi-radiator custom cooling loops.
No, the Alphacool ES Orbiter does not include RGB lighting. It features an illuminated window to help you monitor fluid levels, but it is a functional tool designed for utility rather than aesthetic customization.
