Teco RA680

[terryansimon]

anybody have a pump to recommend for the Teco RA680?

the pump must preferably have the same hose size as the chiller itself.

and also for those who use this chiller, where do you place your pump? (=

The chiller uses 22/16 Eheim hose so perhaps a Eheim 1250 if they are still making this model.

hmm thanks a bunch Tanzy

any other alternatives should that model be unavailable?

Hi, on the topic of RA 680, just like to share something with those who are using the old version.

The old RA version sucks in air from the back and blows out the front(the side which you read the LCD display).

The new version, TW series sucks in air from the front and blows out the back.

I helped a friend to mod the old RA chiller with a new fan motor, new blades and new controller(extra) to follow the new TW. I must say that the performance has improved with the reversed air flow.

For those with the old RA series, its worth a try!

hmm now i know why i always read people saying teco hot air blow to the front but mine always blow to the back. so new model diff... anyway, front and back got different meh? juz make sure the hot air dont get blown to the inlet/outlet tubes (both internal and external).

hey bro,

thought u sold urs away oredi???

Its really quite cheap actually. Less than $50 as long as you dun change the controller as well. But it'll be good coz with a new controller, coz you can have a three digit LCD with all the fancy stuff.you can have the temp probe in your main tank reading the actual temp of your system.

I think the difference could be because you do not heat up the compressor and other parts ithe hot air like in the RA series. Serious, it made a difference in my friends tank.

Hi lighthningstrike, yes I sold my chiller, it was never a teco. I did the teco mod on my friend!
