Have you tried using a third thermometer to see which one is accurate?

I'm guessing the thermostat in the Resun is faulty or out of calibration. Have you calibrated the Resun thermostat to the thermometer then checked to see if it stays the same?

Also how many L/hr is the pump your are feeding the chiller with?

An external thermostat will be good especially for 2nd hand Resun chiller.

Also what's your set temperature range? If you set a range of 0.5 degrees, it will kick start more often than a range of 2.0 degrees. depending on what species of fish and corals you keep, if it's not deepwater species, you can set your temperature btw 26-28.

1000 L/hr is more than sufficient for a CL280, I believe there is a sticky in one of the sections here with a Resun manual attached.

I think if you correct the calibration for the internal thermostat the problem might go away.

Problem is finding a thermistor with a similar resistance value, might be a bit tricky, but if you can get one, you can just disable the reservoir thermistor and patch an external one to the Resun thermostat.

I used a Fox 1004 (About $70 at Sim Lim Tower) Thermostat with external probe to control my chiller, prefer to have the temp reading taken from in tank.
