Hey guys I’m trying to run my same return pump thru my chiller. I did buy a bigger one to make up for the lost flow. Unfortunately I snapped a piece and can’t run the chiller now and it’s getting hot. I bought a Sicce 3.0. So it takes a 3/4 size line and my RSM 250 takes a 5/8. So how do I got about plumbing this from return pump 3/4—>chiller5/8—->return nozzle 5/8. What pieces would I need. The chiller is a 1/2 hp oceanic
Hi. I just purchased a RSM 250 and I assume I’ll run into heat issues as the fans don’t seems to be reliable. How did you end up solving that? Where do you buy parts and any other tips? Thanks!

I ended up contacting BRS and they gave me a bunch of help on measurements. You will need a chiller, in my opinion. It’s enclosed and there is 6 T5’s only a few inches off the water. Things get hot lol
