What happens here

An external water pump (water feature or aquarium pump) is needed because the chiller does not have a built-in circulation pump. The pump is placed in a small container of water. Flexible clear tubing is connected from the pump's outlet to the chiller's 'in' port. Another piece of flexible tubing is connected from the chiller's 'out' port back to the water container to complete a test loop. The chiller is then powered on to verify its cooling functionality and ensure water circulates correctly. The creator confirms the chiller successfully cools the water during this test.

that's great this thing's falling apart let's see if it even works this is going to screw this project over i'm going to be so pissed if this thing doesn't work why is it not turning on yet is this not working is the light on is this a broken unit it is like a rebooting process or something i don't know any day now [Music] so i'm watching this youtube video of how these chillers actually work so i had a misunderstanding they don't suck in the water so there's no built-in pump in there it's only like a refrigerated kind of cooling mechanism so i have to go get a pump like a water feature pump or aquarium pump to have the water sucked into this inlet hose and then this will get pumped out to the outlet hose ah that'll be nice to know before this thing showed up okay hopefully this will work yeah this pump is wild [Applause] water's coming in it should have a return here and there it is and that'll be cooling it as much money as they cost they should have a pump in there now oh yeah this is already cold oh that's wild now that we figured that
