    I like to select a pump thats roughly in the middle of the recommended flow rate range
    which on this chiller is between 65 - 315 gph
    so I would probably go for something of about 180 - 200 gph

    The Taam Rio models look OK - never used one, but they seem very good value

    Rio 800 or Rio 1100 with +/-4ft tubing? Which seems best. Thanks
