teco tk1000. simple question, sump to main tank or sump to sump. I,m going to use a separate pump rather than split my return. sump to sump will not cause a power out issue.
 
Sump to main tank, if possible. Ive had issues with a sump-back-to-sump orientation causing excessive cycling on/off of chillers. Chiller will get the sump to temp, turn off, then a minute later enough water has circulated with tank to make it come back on, then gets sump back to temp quickly, causing to shut back off, etc.
 
that makes sense. thanks for the input. may need a bigger pump now!
