Which Pump
Can anyone recommend a pump for a JBJ 1/3 horsepower chiller?

from brs he flow rate on the chillers is quiet forgiving. On the 1/3th HP chiller they recommend between 480 and 2400gph of flow. Its quiet common to hook them up inline with your return pump if its within that flow range. Otherwise something like a Sicce syncra 4.0 pump would be a good choice. So just about any pump you have

I just use the return pump for all of my chillers and output the colder water into the display. The internals and extra plumbing will slow the return pump down, so I size up.

Agree with jda. More equipment you have the more heat you are dealing with and wasting space

Using a Waveline 12000 as a return on a 220. Will that be enough to supply the chiller? Thanks

Two ways to do this.
1 - in the return line 2 - in the drain via one line. You know a chiller will add plenty of heat to a room. I had mine on a shelf near a window & vented out. Some even have them outside.
