Product Questions

will it work in a 50 gallón tank?

Question by: Diego on Mar 27, 2025, 2:33 PM

0

It depends on ambient temperature and how many degrees you need to lower the tank by. We recommend using JBJ's chiller calculator.

What SICCE pump do you recommend for this chiller? SICCE Syncra Silent 0.5 185 GPH or Syncra Nano Pump (110 GPH).

Question by: Robert Friedel on Jun 18, 2024, 4:25 PM

0

The Sicce 1.5 would be a good option for this application.

what size water pump is needed for this model?

Question by: Rob on Jun 16, 2014, 3:58 AM

Hi Rob,
This chiller recomends between 110 and 160 gallons per hour of flow. Which pump that is depends a lot on the distance you plan to pump but often (keeping in mind things like head pressure) but often something like a Cobalt Aquatics MJ1200 will do the trick just fine, as would any other similarly sized pump.
