CW-5000 Water Chiller/150watt Laser not cooling properly?

[Martin James]

Please look at your tubes with the cooler on and see if there are bubbles that are preventing proper flow. You might have to loosen and twist the tube while flow is on the tube to allow bubbles to escape. (turn off the power to the tube first, always wear safety glasses) Cut the silicon hose in and out of the cooler to reduce length. Place cooler on stand to raise the cooler up closer to the level of the tube to reduce head.

When you go to read the manual, you have to translate one small part of it at a time into your own words. (make your own new written manual translation}

There were dead bugs inside my 150 tube when it came from the factory. You could see them swim by every so often.

if it is a real 5000 then you can call or write the factory and an English speaking person will help you.

Hi everyone, thank you again for all the input and advice. Tech support was finally able to help me figure out that it was just the temperature reading of an interior computer compartment, rather than the laser tube itself. Apparently it was supposed to be hooked up to the tube and water chiller system but fell way short of where it was supposed to run along to. The laser is fine and operating great.

Thanks again everyone!
