How to set up chiller?

RobSW1 · #1 08/15/2007, 11:16 AM

I just bought a 1/10hp Pacific Coast chiller from Premium Aquatics.....and i must say they are an awesome company to do business with.

Anywho, I dont want to run this chillerr with another feed pump, so i was wondering how i should set this up.

Should i run it off my return?
or....I also have a 1/2" bulkhead i was planning on using to feed a DAS EX-1, could i split the line and run half to the chiller and half to the skimmer/

Im so confused. and any help will be apreciated.

I would recommend a dedicated pump unless you're going to increase your existing return pump substantially.

I tried mine on my return just for fun and there was barely anything moving through my overflow.

You really do loose a lot of pressure through a chiller.
Atleast I do with mine.
