Best pump for 1/4 hp chiller

Riclat · 05/23/2009, 05:15 PM

Okay, I'm probably getting a 1/4 hp JBJ Arctica Titanium chiller. Flow rate is 480-600 gph.

Plumbing it into my sump return won't work.

Any recommendations on a chiller pump? Power consumption, price and pump power are my main concerns.

Two models I'm considering are Mag Drive 7 (700 gph; 70 watts; $85) and Eheim 1260 (640; 65; $140).

thanks.
