Better not as UV sterilizer will kill different stuff depending on the flowrate of water passing through it. Use a dedicated pump instead

But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

To me, you will be unique in all the world.

You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

Water flowing through the UV has to be slow in order for it to be effect. I believe that the fast flow rate of return water for your chiller pump should easily exceed the UV capability to kill the bacteria, especially that yours only 9w.
