Eheim 1048 Pump - Reservoir needed?

[Gunslinger08]

I'm getting the Eheim 1048 pump for my watercooling setup, and I can't seem to figure out whether or not I need a reservoir for it... I know, I'm dumb.

Please help me out if you know whether or not it requires one.

Thanks,
Josh

you'll need a reservoir
you can use a bucket, a beverage cooler, or anything else
you should seal it so you don't spill or have to smell the coolant that you use
you got a radiator too ?
need one of those
have fun

Ack, I'm not using a reservoir. Is there anyway to modify to run in-line? I just don't have room for a bucket in my computer.

you can run without a res. but like soul said its better if you went with one........more water for inproved cooling.....

You should run one. Buffers heat spikes better. Plus, if you have to, you can add ice.
