Chiller plumbing question
I am trying to set up an Arctica Titanium Commercial Series 1/2 HP chiller. My question should seem basic if you know this product. I am having a steady leak out of both the inlet and outlet ports of the chiller and cannot seem to get it to seal properly. I have teflon taped the threads, checked the o-rings (no cracks) and let it run just to see if it needed to work in a little. All to no avail. Anybody have any luck or know something I am doing wrong? It is the last step in my 400 in wall build project and I am so close I can taste it!! Please help. Thanks!!

Are you dialing back the line after the output with a ball valve, or running it through a SCWD?
Also, you shouldn't use teflon tape on these I don't think. I had a tiny leak, but tightening it more made it go away on my 1/10 hp Arctica. Are you running much more flow than recommended through the chiller?

No more will go in!” the professor blurted. “You are like this cup,” the master replied, “How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup.” Current Tank Info: 56g, 20g. |
