Pump for Chiller

[Rocks]

Hi..

just want to gather some feedback...

my chiller's in-flow is from the sump 0.5 meters next to it,

out-flow from chiller is to the main tank 1.6 meters above the chiller.

What kind of pump should i use for the chiller ??

Please share your experience... i am looking for a dedicate pump for the chiller.

Currently setup is that my return pump (5000 l/hr) is being tee-off to both the chiller and main tank return... which i think the flowrate passing thru' the chiller could not be too low..

CHEERS!

i am using Arctical chiller - 1/5 HP ... not sure about the flowrate recommendation thot...

but do we all follow the recommendation flowrate by the chiller maker?

They recommend 480 - 1320 l/h so you can get a pump of around 1500 l/h should do the trick.

thanks WeiLeong,

got the info... recommended 480-1320 GPH (about 1800-5000 litres/hrs) .. so maybe a Rio 20HF pump with headloss consideration will do just nice hor..
