How fast does your sump pump drain the basin of the chiller? I recently installed a pump and it seems it drains rather slowly. I feel like it never really turns off.

I do. It controls my auto top off for the pool. My handle is different though. My handle looks like the ones on homes that control water spigots.

I just installed my cooler and still playing with it at the moment. I currently use a custom built P trap built with 1.5" pvc in the basin and have it gravity drain to the suction line of the pool. I have another issue I have to fix first before I can finish my cooler install. One of my skimmer...

That is the goal. I need to figure out how to remove the air from the chiller basin drain line. The pump also loses prime when it turns off with the basin 2" valve on the return line is closed. I believe the pump's water drains into the chiller return line after the 2" ball valve. Maybe a check...

The water level in the basin is always above the drain hole. I'm not using the sump pump. I was trying to see if the chiller worked without it. I dont understand why the chiller needs to force the water out of the basin. I was going to make a make shift p-trap in the basin tomorrow to see if...

Very nice. Im trying to get mine dialed in. My return line from the chiller is plumbed to the suction line of the skimmer. For some reason, its allowing air to be drawn into the pump. I didnt use a check valve, so maybe that is the reason?

Do you have a pic of your plumbing? Did you install a check valve on the outlet of the chiller?

Does anyone have a picture for the fan motor electrical wiring? I'm trying to wire mine now.

Does anyone have pictures of the electrical wiring for the fan motor? Im trying to wire one now.

Very nice. Can you share some pics of the setup? I want to see how they plumb it all. I'm making room on my pad for the chiller now. I will try to have it installed by next week.

I still need to hook it up to my system. Im trying to learn how to wire the electrical to my omnilogic system. It's basically a 14/3 wire from the chiller. I can wire it directly to a breaker, but I want to be able to see and control it with the Omni app.

Jeff, What part of Katy do you live in? Im about to install one of these chillers and I might need help if I cant figure it out.

I get why you do it, but do you have to? There will be no harm letting the chiller start when the pump does. I can understand allowing automation to open and close the input line for different speeds on a VSP instead of using a red handle ball valve.

So is your pipe filled with water from the skimmer all the way back to the chiller valve?

Does your skimmer line pull a lot of air? I see no check valve before your skimmer return line.
