Default how to connect cannister to chiller?

i'm using eden 501 with biohome and stock sponge (pump is 300l/h)
just bought a hailea hc 100a 1/20hp (reccomended flowrate is 200-1000l/h)

the 501 tubing is 9mm in diameter.

is it possible to connect it to the chiller? or do i have to get a bigger diameter hose?

if inlet i put a 501 to push the water in , and outlet i put another 501 to suck it out will there be any problem?

thanks.

Don't think the 501 was ever meant to be used with a chiller.

you would end up with higher electric bill.. the eden 501 filter flow rate would be greatly reduced too..
it will be better if you upgrade to a filter at least 500l/hr..

my 2cents.

Depends on what is the size of the hole of the chiller.

There won't be a problem, im running two eheim 2213 connected together, as long as their flow rate is the same.

Hope that helps

cheers,

Good for you! How often does the chiller kick in?
