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.

Cheers!

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

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