steelhead77 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'm looking for a pump for my PCI CL 280 chiller. The manual says it requires anywhere from 500-800 gph and the chiller adds 6ft of head. Currently I have a Quiet one 4000HH as my return. I have it hooked up to go thru the chiller and then up to the tank. It works, but the flow back into the tank is not where I'd like it. I guess there are 2 other ways to go: 1) Use a bigger pump and tee off of my main return pump into the chiller (with a valve to control flow) and then up to the tank. 2) Use a separate pump and close-loop it from the sump up to the tank. So I'm looking for either something like a PCX-40 (or equivalent) for option #1 or another Quite One 4000HH (or equivalent) for option #2. If anyone has one of these, I'd appreciate a quick PM. I'd also appreciate any other advice or thoughts on the set-up. Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kshack Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 How about Reeflow Barracuda? I have one for $200 that I used for a basement sump return. Low electric compared to some other pumps. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhead77 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Thanks Ken, but that's probably a little more than I need at this point. I will keep it mind tho. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Snowpunk has quite a few different pumps I am sure he would sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have a QO 4000, which might be the regular model not the HH as I don't remember the HH thing, that can be used if the pump is submersed or if you can figure out how to get it to stop leaking. It might just need an O ring. I went with something that was quieter. I ran it for two years or so. So a two year old pump that leaks . . . make me an offer. Make it low. I'm thinking in the $10 to $15 range shipped. I have no idea how much shipping would be. I might go lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhead77 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Do you have the front piece that allows it to be used inline? I'm thinking of using this as my return and using my QO4000HH as the one for the chiller. If you have that front piece, I'd go $15.00 shipped.

fly guy Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I dont know how much water that return pump of yours moves, but I have powered a cl280 and similar along with a return and a small canister filter on several different systems with a mag 12, including my current 90 and the return flow is perfect There is absolutely no point in moving any more water through yoru sump thatn your skimmer can process in the first place. if you do you are just diluting the dirty water with clean and cutting your skimming ability short. I bet you are fine and better off as is than trying to upgrade jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
