Thinking of redoing my plumbing

Thinking about it...

Currently I have a separate pump running my chiller. For the sake of noise
I have it on the temp controller with the chiller. I know it isn't good for
the pump. My return pump is a Mag7 as well.

I was thinking, in order to eliminate the chiller pump altogether, (Marc's
Idea) .... of using a T off the return pump and diverting some of it to the
chiller.... and returning chiller water to the return area. (currently
pumped from return-chill-return & works nicely).

My concern is how much this might reduce the flow for both return (to tank)
and to chiller. Thoughts or ideas?

Hi Bob,

My thought is for you to try it and see how it all runs. If you hate it, you
can upgrade your return pump to a stronger one, or switch it back to the way it
was.
