Teco RA680 flowrate

[Limpc]

Hi all Teco users,

I realize that if I pass my return pump thro' the chiller the output flow from chiller to main tank becomes slower. Is there some kind of restrictor in-built within the Teco chiller ? If so, then return pump output is not adviceable to pass thro the chiller.

Any comments from Teco users please.

tks

no matter how much flowrate you pump into the old teco chiller, the output will still be in the 400+ litres range, its the design of the chiller.

I was advise previously by a old technician from Aquatechnic years back not to use high flow pump as the pressure built in the coil may blow the pipe inside in the long run. My current RA680 which about 6 years old and still running great. The newer Teco like TR or TC model are design for high flow.

Just that age has ctach up with it, and has some small leakage now which is why I'm looking for chiller. Just my 2 cents worth.

Thanks for reply, bro.

I also notice there are slime building up in the chiller. What's the best way to flush the chiller ?
