Default chiller question

I have a chiller question, sort of. I am running a chiller off my apex controller with the pump. It would kick in once a while, but for the most part it is off. So my questions is, is it bad to have the water sit in the chiller for a couple of days while its shut off and having the water circulate back into the main system when it turns on. The reason I ask is when I was setting up my calcium reactor, I had to disconnect the chiller hose, the water came out of there smelled like poo.

I am not sure if anyone have the similar setup where the chiller pump would pump from the sump through the chiller then back to the main display which ties into the whole return system. I really don't think it is good the way its set up right now, so if anyone have any ideas or way to do it better please let me know.

The only way I can think of right now is to keep the pump running all the time, or replumb it, so it will become stand alone.
