Install Chiller

[kksg2000]

Hi is this how i should connect a chiller?

Does a chiller includes chiller kit etc. hose?

Thank you.

yes this is how you connect a chiller but most people will have the pump place in the sump or IOS area, rather then in the tank itself..

chiller doesnt come with the hose... you need to buy them seperately..

The pump will be sucking up detritus if placed in the main tank. Not so good for the chiller. Not to mention it's rather unsightly to have a huge pump inside the main tank.

If you use a canister filter, you can hook your chiller's intake to your canisters output and the chiller's output back to the tank. This way, the water entering your chiller is pre-filtered by the canister filter and less detritus will accumulate in the chiller's reaction chamber.

If you use a sump, the pump for the chiller should be located at the end-stage of your sump for the same reason - cleaner water entering the chiller.

Good if there is a sump so that you chiller input can be from there to remove any debris entering.
