Bitspower Launches Digital Leak Detector

[btarunr]

Bitspower, one of the world's leading suppliers of water-cooling equipment for performance computers, has launched the Bitspower Digital Leak Detector—an easy to use, handheld device that allows water-cooling enthusiasts to check for leaks quickly and accurately. The Digital Leak Detector features a digital pressure gauge and an integrated, hand-operated air pump to pressurize the system. The device is equipped with a rotatable male 1/4" connecting port, so it can be attached directly to any standard port on a water-cooling system.

Before filling a water-cooled loop with water, users can simply attach the Digital Leak Detector to their system, pressurize the system with an air pump, and keep the system in a closed state. The pressure of the system is displayed on the easy-to-read digital screen, and allows users to see if any air is escaping. If the pressure is kept constant, it demonstrates that the loop has been sealed effectively.



In order to achieve the best results, Bitspower recommends that users pump the Digital Leak Detector to the test pressure and keep the system still for at least 1 minutes. If no pressure drop is observed, the water-cooled system should be able to operate safely.

That's a nice and compact little unit with what looks like a great form factor, but the need for batteries is a bit annoying - especially the weird CR1220 battery it uses. If they could have fit CR2032s or 2025s that would have been much better (and they would have lasted longer too!). Also a tad expensive compared to analog alternatives, though it's in the same range at least.

Yeah, my only complaint is the weird battery type. I mean, the f***?

There have been similar products before, but none this nice. So far.

Its similar to repairing and refilling an AC system. Before refilling refrigerant, you need to vacuum the system to 29 inches and wait for a period of time to see if that drops, if it does you got a leak.

I stop doing custom water cooled stuff and go with the AIO. Less headache, because having leak is not fun.

If you don't want extreme cooling or some kinky customization, DIY doesn't make much sense. Nowadays there are some pretty decent AIOs.

I never knew vacuum is measured in inches! Freedoms per square waffle makes more sense, no?
