Yes, no problem. You can have 1100 watts pulling through the InkBird at any time. That chiller pulls 264, your heaters probably pull more. Of course they won't be running at the same time.

Ok perfect, appreciate the response!
 
What mower55 said. The Chiller power should not be cycling. Not sure why you'd want to do this. The Chiller has it's own temp control scheme.

I want to be able to turn the pump on and off. Im try to reduce my energy. I am wondering if I can keep the chiller on and only use the Inkbird to turn the pump on and off. Think that would hurt the chiller? To be on and not have the water flowing? Umm
