Pump Recommendation:

Recommended Pump: Danner Mag Drive 5.0 to 18 (Exact pump sizing depends on the rest of your setup – contact technical support for more information)

  • Other pumps may be acceptable but must be rated under 10 PSI / 23 ft max head.
  • If using a pump rated in PSI or horsepower, you can contact support before installation to check compatibility.
Manufacturer Guidelines:
  • The new outdoor 1/2HP HE chiller is designed for outdoor use in all weather conditions except freezing temperatures.
  • Disconnect and drain the chiller completely if ambient temperatures drop to freezing or below to prevent damage.
  • Continuous water flow is required for proper temperature monitoring and operation.  Do not stop the water flow without first unplugging the chiller.
  • Condensation may occur depending on the operating temperature and ambient humidity; plan your installation accordingly.
