Just a quick simple question I'm hoping to get answered. Is there a preferred placement for a flow indicator in a loop? Any place it should be avoided?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

wasteomind, what is the application for your flow indicator?
Personally i know the pump is working if my temps are where i expect them to be and its making its little whirring noise. I'm running a T line so i can't see if the water is moving, but if you have a res already the water should be moving around in there some, indicating flow.
IMO, a flow indicator is more of a bling item and if anything, likely hurts your system flowrate.

Watercooling Newb, so feel free...
But I'd think that as long as you have the same diameter tubing around the entire loop you should be good to go wherever it is convienient.

flow will only be as high as the greatest restriction allows, and being a closed loop means that flow will be equal no matter where in the loop you put it. however adding one more thing is one more restriction to your loop. make sure whatever gains you get from puting a flow meter in outweigh the increased restriction it will add... that part is up to your opinion.
