What Pump Do u use to pump your resun 650 chiller?

[knightx]

Hi

needa ask , wat pump do you use to pumpyour resun 650 chiller?
What flowrate would be appropriate(dat you guys set it to be)?

Thx

[knightx]

Sry
but shd i post this in the equipment discussion thread?
how can i do this?
can the mod help to shift this if its in the wrong thread?

thx

I'm using a aquabee3000 but not powerful enough. Should have gotten a 1260 or a 1262 instead. :confused:

so dats means 1250 which is only 1200l/h is not sufficient too?

huh?? not strong enough? I'm using sicce extrema and I didn't even set it to full...

Extrema will do a good job on CL650.;)

i actually read that thread so thgus am askin now lor..
i hope to get an external pump for the chiller, anybody got any other recco? 1260?
thx

my 2 cents:
the flow rate need to match with the return pump's effective flow rate to get the optimum water exchange right?

Too high flow rate will not do any good and it will be just a waste of power.

wat if u jus wana use it to pump chiller only?
cannot be higer better rite? there shd be a max limit of efficiency rite?
thx

i only using weipro 3000.... doing a gd job ;)

3000l/hr?a

The way I look at it:

high flow rate will be sure better than low flow rate. However, high flow rate = high power consumption. so if you return water are not taken up to main tank fast enough, it will be a circulation within the sump. This translate to wasting of WATT/$$ every second! So another topic here is how you position the chilled water and return pump.

Everything count!! so if you are sure all your chilled water are able to returned to main tank, you are maximising the chiller pump.

Cheers!

The recommended flow rate for the CL650 is abt 2000L

I have my chiller on a close loop in the main tank, hance after all the elbows and hose length I highly doubt my aquabee3000 is up to the job.

I also find tt if i use a more powerful pump, my chiller switches on/off less often ;)

Now am trying to figure out how to fit a E1620 into the tight space of a aquabee3000 :confused:

is there a max efficent flow rate i.e if its above 400l/h its actually useless or something like dat?

400L/hr!!! Way too slow...

recommended is 2000L/hr, so try somewhere ard there

oh sry
typo
i meant to say 4000l/h

[Clownfish81]

3000l/hr?a
nope, dun tink got so fast... actual flowrate shld be less than 2000l/h cos i still hav an eco-aqualiser connected at the chiller's outlet (due to its narrower diameter, the eco-aqualiser slows the flowrate a little bit)....
