[texaskido]

i just got a artica chiller from the internet!
i set it up in a 10 gallon bucket to test it out.

it will turn on but it wont cirulate the water through its self.

wats the problem?

You need to connect it inline with a filter.

inlet --> filter --> chiller --> outlet

i dont really understand?

i have a fluva filter would that work?

send me a pic of urs?

Basically you need a filter or a pump to power the water through chiller. The chiller itself does not 'circulate' water.

o okay.
wat pump should i get?

You can check your chiller manual for recommended flowrate. If you intend to connect the chiller after your Fluval filter, check that your filter's workflow is slightly more than the recommended flowrate of your chiller. If not, you will need to get a pump with a flowrate recommended by the chiller.

For example, DBA-075's recommended flowrate is 240 gph.
