I only use the Recoil's water cooler when gaming, so in general it stays off.
I was finding very annoying to have to open the control center, go to the liquid cooling section and having to connect to the cooler whenever I turned it on, so I made a simpler system tray utility to do it faster.
It doesn't have auto speed based on temps like the auto mode of control center, so you have to set the fan speed and pump voltage manually, but it gives you more flexibility in terms of noise vs cooling.

Also it might work in linux as it's just python code, but I didn't try it.
Hope it's useful for other people!
