Anyone with experience with Corsair Hydro H45? Does the pump have an RPM sensor?

Hi!
There are no doubt better forums on the internet for this type of question, but I don't like registering on dozens of forums for every question I might have, so I try my luck here first.
I recently bought a Corsair Hydro H45 to replace the old stock cooler. It performs very well and my computer no longer sounds like a commercial airliner at take off under load. Now to the potential problem. The unit has two connectors, one for the fan and one for the pump. The pump connector is an ordinary three-pin fan type connector. Now, I assume I should get an RPM reading from the pump since it has three leads, but I don't. I tried a different connector on the motherboard, but with no difference. The pump is working, because I momentarily disconnected it and saw the CPU temperature immediately start to rise, but I don't get and RPM reading (like I do from the fan). I wrote to Corsair support, but the support didn't provide me with a clear answer either and there is no info in the documentation or specifications that I have found whether the pump outputs RPM or not. Anyone else here with that unit who can give me a definitive answer? I have tried Google of course, but with no luck, just some results that might indicate that it does have a sensor.
All the best!
