-==== Cooling water pump ====+==== Refilling the cooling circuit ​==== 
 +Temperature fluctuation cannot be avoided due to the operating conditions of the HT500. The different thermal expansion of the materials causes minimal leakage at the cooling circuit'​s connections which makes refilling the circuit necessary approximately every four weeks. To refill the coolant circuit, follow the instructions given below.

 +=== Checking the cooling circuit === 
 +<WRAP note> 
 +NOTICE 
 + 
 +Lack of coolant may lead to damage of the affected components, especially the LEDs. Too much air in the cooling circuit leads to clogging of the copper connectors due to oxidation.\\ 
 +Check the cooling circuit regularly for excess amounts of gas bubbles. 
 +</​WRAP>​ 
 + 
 +The amount of gas bubbles in the cooling circuit is the indicator for refilling. A small amount of bubbles always circles the hoses and can be considered normal. 
 +To asses whether the cooling circuit must be refilled, check the following:​ 
 +  * The bubbles are small and running freely -> there is no need for refilling the cooling circuit. 
 +  * Bubbles reach the size of the hose's diameter, are sticking in places and do not disappear a few minutes after switching the build chamber on -> refill as described below.
