yup thats why there is a minimum flow requirment. you might want to check your flow to make sure you have enough going through it.

Steve, you didn't read this, did you?

I had no flow going through it, the pump died. So the water sat in the chamber for hours with the chiller running. Yes, I should have turned off the chiller

yes I read it, I don't think you read my reply. I also know you just put a new pump on it and you should check the flow through it on the new pump to make sure yoyu have enought flow. or did you just use the same type of pump?

I don't think your reading in English. You owe me pizza now. Yes, the new pump is the same flow rate as the old, and working fine. The problem occurred when the old pump was off for the day and the chiller was not. The tank got hotter, told chiller to chill, and everything froze up. Now get down here and buy the pizza.

What you should do is try running the chiller and seeing what settings work best.
