Typical Installations

Submersible Pump Installation

Closed Loop
Water is being run through the chiller
by a separate pump and returned
back to the sump.

External Pump Installation

Inline
In this installation the chiller is
plumbed between the main return
pump and the tank. Be sure that
the flow rate is not too high in this
situation. If it is, use a ball valve off of
the main line into the chiller to slow
the water flow.

Canister Filter

In this installation water travels
through the canister filter into the
chiller where it is returned into
the aquarium. With this type of
installation filter the aquarium water
before it passes through the chiller to
reduce build up in the chiller.
