How to fix external pump to drive chiller

[joydiv]

Hi

Don't think my present external filter flow rate is strong enough to drive my resun cl650 chiller. Thinking of getting an external pump (2000l/hr) to drive the chiller.

How to fix the external pump? Is it simply fit the hose to the outlet of the pump and into the inlet of the chiller?


Also flow rate out of the pump and through the chiller might be too strong. Anyway to reduce the flow?

Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Correct!

From the external pump, you might want to attached it to an external co2 reactor and then to your chiller.

Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hope this helps!

you can add a valve to adjust the flow rate.
or you can use a rain bar to "spread" the out flow.
