Teco Chiller/heater

Davoaldo · 09/20/2008, 12:53 AM

I recently brought a teco chiller and is still trying to work out how it operates.

I set the temp at 80 but the chiller doesn't start till the LCD display is 82-83.
Is this normal?

Is it better to place a heater in the DT instead of the sump, because I also find there is a is difference in temperature. Its always trying to catch up rather then set it at that temp.

Is 300w heater enough for 160g water volume?
