Tim and Kendra Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I just bought a AquaEuroUSA Mighty Pro 1/10 HP Chiller and I am not sure what size pump I need to use to pump water into the chiller. Does anyone have any idea?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaJohn Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 cant you just plumb it into your return line so you dont need another pump running ? just an idea not sure if thats how you are suposed to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim and Kendra Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ok thank you....I was going to just add to my return line but I dont want to cut down on the turn over on my tank. So I am going to see if I can pull from one section of the sump and return it to another part and see if that will keep it cool enough.

rainbody Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Either way works. Just make sure that if you choose to have a pump run just the chiller to put it in a place where the water its pushing through the chiller is already filtered. The worst thing you could do would be pump unfiltered water into that chiller. It lowers the performance and youll be replacing it sooner than you like. Its a mistake I made in the past.
