On my new 120 build, I plan on putting the chiller in the basement. Display and sump will remain on the main floor.
Distance from sump to chiller no more than 4ft vertical, 2ft horizontal.
I plan on having the circulation pump next to the chiller. It will be plumbed with ˝" pvc tubing from the sump to pump inlet,
pump to chiller, then back to sump. There will be a ˝" flow meter inline on the return to both monitor flow and in case of any issues.
Now baring any frictional losses from fittings, am I correct in assuming that since this basically is a closed loop, that I wouldn't
need as big of a pump since the water flowing to the pump is gravity feed. The head pressure would get offset to a degree.
I need to push about 300-400 gph thru the chiller.
