Sump Question

[fishywoo]

Is it common practice to t off of the return to a chiller?

Fishy, not so sure anything is common aside from having a sump - and even with that, there are people without them..

House you run a sump. Do you run it off your return or have a seperate pump/

My chiller is T'd off the return.

Fishy - I haven't run a chiller in over 2 years - been using the basement for the natural cooling.

Like I said, may people use it from thier return, as a seperate return via Sea swirls etc.

As long as the GPH meets the specifications for maximum efficiency for the chiller, then it really doesn't matter where the flow comes from.

See if you can search for jhales thread where he plumbed it from his tank into his unused fireplace.

How many GPH does the chiller require?
T'd off will the return pump do it?

You may not have a closed loop, but mine is down-stream of the pump in the closed loop.

House said it he was faster. LOL
