I just got my w/c together, using a teeline. I put the teeline after the exhaust. Took me almost an hour of flipping my comp/refill to finally get the intake enough to push the whole loop.

Anyways...it's working fine(other than crap temps), but should the teeline be after or before the intake and if there are any advantages/disadvantages to them.
 
The "T" should be before the intake on the pump. If it's after the output it's operating under greater pressure because your loop is exerting backpressure on waterflow. This means that if you fill the "T" line to the top and pull the cap on it while the loop is running you can be looking at some spillage.

With it before the intake it will be under suction as the loop is running and removing the cap with the loop powered up won't result in a mini "Old Faithful".
 
But if i'm not having that problem and its working great(1 hour and counting), air coming out/etc. Is it really worth taking it apart and moving it?
 
If it's working, and all the air has been bled, it's FINE! Don't change it!

But for your future notice, putting the T before the Pump will allow you to fill and bleed a lot faster, because you will be forcing the air out of the pump as you fill.
