Installing a chiller with a UV

[rockdiver]

Ok so I might add a chiller this summer and was wondering can you just use the return pump line ?
I also have a UV that is on the return pump now.
If I can how would you run it chiller 1st then UV or UV first then chiller then to tank
Thanks

When I hook my chiller back up in a couple of months, I’ll be going from my UV to chiller. I’d rather my chiller cool the warmer water coming from my UV than have my UV warm up my freshly cooled water from the chiller.

Cool . Do you have a separate pump for the chiller and uv ?

Yes. My system is small, 57 gallons. AquaUV 15 watt Classic to a JBJ 1/10 using a Sicce 2.0 to push water through them.

Ok cool. I have to find a place in my sump for another pump.
I have a 110g sump is tight.
Hmm

Or maybe I just won't need one idk

Does this configuration warm up the already chilled water ?

Not significantly as I can tell, the chiller runs about Every 3-4 hours for around 15 minutes, only when the tank lights are on. That’s what really increases the tank temp. I have 6 T5s in a canopy!
