Cooler return pump

[DBlackman]

Hey Sean and Jamie,

I had replaced my RIO 17HP for a Mag-Drive 18 for 'in-sump' use and have noticed my water temp fluctuating between 79 and 82 with a Prime 1/10 HP Chiller.

I too have inquired about Eheim, but the flow rates are too slow for what I am doing; flow distribution to chiller [routes back into the sump to chill water and cool the Mag], CA reactor, and Return.

I also inquired about moving the Mag out of the sump and the replies I had received were... 'several members have reported temp increases, due to recent humidity' and 'run fans, both under the hood and in side the cabinet'.

I think I may just sale the Prime 1/10 HP and upgrade to a Prime 1/4 or 1/3 HP Chiller and get rid of the 'Fan cooling' concept... too many power cords... lol

Are you running the pump externally? When I moved my return pumps from internal to external the temp dropped at least 2 deg!
