    Thinking of moving my chiller to my outhouse which is located about 15 meters away from my PC.

    Chiller is a Hailea 2200

    How many pumps and how much head pressure would I need to create to make sure it all flowed nicely, or is 15 meters in tubing just to far away from the computer to be achievable ?

    Would something like this

    with 4 of these do it

    or should I be looking at something like this

    Thanks in advance all

    Your first 2 links aren't working. Does the Chiller need a minimum flow rate to work properly? I take it pump noise wouldn't be a problem?

    The link was supposed to be

    http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/nitrix2009/quadLaing.jpg

    With 4 d5

    Could look at something like this or a couple if need be

    http://www.gaelforcemarine.co.uk/38045/Jabsco-Utility-Puppy-3000-Flexible-Impeller-Pump-12v-DC.html

    It doesn't say in the instructions a requirement of minimum flow rate on the website it say flow rate 3000~6000L/H but doesn't state if that is the minimum or not, but I'm pretty sure my flow rate with the dual d5's in there t the mo is 1500l/h

    Pump noise isn't really a problem

    A lot depends on the number and restriction of the blocks in your loop but using Martin's guide and assuming 1/2" diameter tubing a couple of D5s or DDCs should do it.

    According to Martin 50' of 1/2" tubing will only create just over 1 PSI of pressure drop which is quite surprising really.
