Preface Preface The D5 NEXT pump is built for longevity and to match the highest quality stan- dards. It has been particularly designed for PC water cooling systems. The pump is based on the Laing/Lowara/Xylem D5vario pump and the stainless steel top with ceramic ball, the pump rotor and part of the electronics and housing are manu- factured by Laing/Lowara/Xylem.

Pump behavior with aquabus connection to an aquaero Pump behavior with aquabus connection to an aquaero As soon as an aquabus connection between the D5 NEXT and an aquaero 5/6 is established, the pump function is solely controlled by the aquaero. All settings in the D5 NEXT regarding pump function will be ignored.
