the liquid seal is made using o-rings.

STEP 2: PREPARING YOUR RESERVOIR
Take your reservoir and place it on a flat and clean surface. In case you bought extra impellers and you wish to swap the original one then simply unscrew all
screws attaching (Torx T10 key is
NOT
enclosed) the acrylic top and the aluminium mask to the base of the reservoir and replace impeller. Before closing
reservoir make sure the impeller is able to rotate around it's axis – the easiest way to check this is to blow air gently over the impeller’s blades in order to make
sure it spins flawlessly without making any kind of unusual grinding noises. If you encounter difficulties rotating the impeller please check impeller’s axis shaft.
When attaching the acrylic top back to the reservoir's base avoid using the excessive force since acrylic is prone to cracking. Make sure the rubber gasket is
positioned inside it's channel. Usually the sign of waterproof seal is when gasket flattens against the acrylic top.
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE RESERVOIR INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER CHASSIS:
This reservoir occupies two 5.25” drive bay expansion slots in your computer chassis. Free two slots in case they are already occupied with other
computer components such as optical- or hard disk drives. Place the reservoir in your 5.25" drive bay out with the front plate facing outwards.
Secure the reservoir to the drive bay cage using the enclosed M3x4 DIN7985 screws.
