how to install the resun c280 chiller ?

[chercm]

pls advice

[May&Bruce]

is there any instructions with it?

It's quite easy - put a pump in your sump and connect the outlet of the pump to the water inlet on your chiller. Then connect the pipe from the chiller outlet back to your sump, or preferably directly to the main tank.

Pump size must be correct ( >900 litres per hour is recommended for the CL280).

Plug it in, turn it on.

Press the set temp button and adjust the temp to your desired temperature.

Simple as that

chercm....what kind of system are you using? Do you have a sump?

[chercm]

mine no sump but using ehiem ecco 2232 canister

Oh, in that case, you have to ensure that the flowrate of your cannister is powerful enough for the chiller to be efficient. If your chiller came with hoses, connect the output port of your cannister to the input port of the chiller and connect the output port of the chiller to your rainbar in your tank.

if the flow rate not enough how ?>

800lph is more den enough to run a chiller...

another alternative...the outlet of ur filter can go into the chiller inlet...den the outlet of the chiller back to the tank...

My previous CL280 to Atman Filter.

Run 15 min, stop 5 min, then repeat agin.

thanks . intend to do this setup

[chercm]

what happens if my canister tubing is the smaller one , how to connect to the chiller input ?

on the output how to connect it ?

[Qxnviolet]

If the difference is NOT TOO big, use the bigger size hose and clamp it to the input port...

rec flowrate through the chiller is >900litre/hours which is stated in the resun chiller CL280 box.

if u realise ur flow rate is not enough , the chiller will kick in and out very frequently . that is what happen to mi when i connect my canister 620litre/hour .

now when i connect to the extrema , everything is ok =)

[chercm]

but it is strange that the display on the chiller shows 28 before the chiller kicks in

what is this ?

[hammy]

there will be a diffrential of 2 degree before the chiller kick in ... it's normal

[chercm]

so does it mean that i will set the temp to 24 for it to turn on at 26?

pls advice

pls advice

yes ... when it reach 26 , it will delay start about 30 sec later ... after it reach 24. it will stop ... but seriously no need to set at 24 ... i set mine at 26

[chercm]

thanks bro hammy

i have set at 26 and left it there.

i think it is pretty noisy for Resun CL-280
