Hey appreciate it brother. Everything is peachy cream here. Finally got my second see to break ground today, complete with, hopefully “her” helmet head on… lol
When buy a chiller, it’s important to know the rated gph on it as well as pairing it up with the right size water pump to go with it.
My chiller is rated for as follows.
About this item
- Large refrigeration capacity (recommended volume: 10‒40 gal / 50‒150 L)
- Anti-corrosive pure titanium evaporator for both fresh and salt water
- Rate of flow: 1/10 HP (132‒396 GPH 500‒1500L/H)
- Rated BTU per hour: 1, 020
- Operate at 10 PSI maximum
My water pump is rated as follows:
- with output pressures of 3.2 PSI and has a powerful mag drive construction. Built with a ceramic shaft and is suitable for saltwater operations
- WATER FLOW CONTROL: Includes an adjustable knob to control the water flow rate, so you can get just the amount of water pressure you want. Maximum flow rate: 400 gallons per hour and is recommended for 40 gallon reservoirs
Notice the output psi of the water pump does not exceed the psi of the water chiller.
So if you have two 12 gal containers, that means by the time you hook them together, pending on short distance between the two, you’ll have about half the total of both totes, (12 gal roughly). So IMO, yes, it’ll work. Just make sure you get the right water pump.
Also, if you plan to expand, then you might want to go a little bigger.
