flow rate u have to refer to your manual book, or find them online.

after cooling down to ur desired temp, how long does it takes to run again?

1hr+ seems a little long, and 1/10 seems small as well.

anyway, I do connect my from my return pump via a T-branch.

My point of view.. always go 1 size above the recommended. I using an oversize 1/3 artica for my 50G appx 300L. Using 15min for cool down and interval of 50 to 1 hrs. Depend on weather as mine are close to a window. I using a T for my set up too. I felt quite save onumy electricity bill. Kicks in and off faster with this 1/3. Just to share my exp

Another question can I connect return pump intake to the chiller , so that I run only one pump. My return pump is 5000, too high?

you can installer a control valve

chiller will kick in more often if you T from return pump then back to sump

cooling time will be faster thou

1/10 is a bit under power for 3ft with sump. I used 1/10hp but changed to 1/4hp for my 2 feet cube. I think it is not advisable to have a high flow rate for the chiller. Maybe you can try 1000L/H. Inflow from sump and outflow to tank.

When the chiller is working, do you feel the hot air outside the cooling fan? If it is not hot at all, then you need to service the unit.

if T from return pump, then chiller outlet should go to DT too.

My old 1260 will vibrate a little, need to place it on something soft to reduce the hum. I used those rubber suckers, bought like 6-8 and stuck them on the sump bottom then sit the pump on the rubber stubs, no sound at all after that.
