The D5 pump mechanism represents a powerful pump motor that needs to be completed with a suitable housing to form a complete pump. The electronically commutated ball motor operates extremely quietly and has a long lifespan.

The pump's performance can be adjusted via a PWM signal; alternatively, the pump can also be controlled through the input voltage. Additionally, a tachometer signal is available for monitoring the pump's function.

Attention: The Aqua Computer D5 pump features an optimized PWM input and can therefore be controlled by any PWM output designed according to Intel specifications. In particular, this pump can be operated from the aquaero 5/6 on the fan channels with an additional PWM output without incurring power losses at the aquaero. All currently available D5 pumps with PWM input from other manufacturers (as of January 2015) have different hardware and may not be properly controlled by the aquaero 5/6 via PWM! The Aqua Computer D5 pump is compatible with all known controllers.
