# Flooded Font Setup
The RAPT Bluetooth Glycol Chiller is ideal for a flooded font setup.
Unlike other Glycol Chillers, the small form factor and simple controls make this ideal for easily connecting to a flooded font.
### Connection
To connect your flooded font, you will need tubing with an internal diameter of \~12mm.
Insulated tubing such as [Red](https://kegland.com.au/products/red-coolant-heating-hose-12mm-x-16mm-with-black-15mm-thick-insulation-foam?_pos=5&_sid=210342678&_ss=r) or [Blue](https://kegland.com.au/products/blue-coolant-heating-hose-12mm-x-16mm-with-black-15mm-thick-insulation-foam?_pos=6&_sid=210342678&_ss=r) Glycol Insulation Hose - 2m Roll x 12mm ID x 16mm OD is preferred for a glycol setup as it is important to minimise thermal losses in the system.
To connect the tubing to the inlet and outlet of the RAPT Bluetooth Glycol Chiller you will need KL41102 [JoinTech Female Connector with Auto Shut Off x 13mm Barb](https://kegland.com.au/products/jointech-13mm-barb-x-female-connector-with-auto-shut-off).
Connection to the flooded font depends on the font setup. Many flooded fonts will have 10mm barbs so you may need to use a short piece of silicone tubing and a [joiner](https://kegland.com.au/products/stainless-splicer-10mm-barb-x-13mm-barb) to connect the tubing.
Once the flooded font is connected [fill the reservoir](https://docs.kegland.com.au/products/cooling-equipment/rapt-bluetooth-glycol-chiller-or-user-guide/setup-and-operation#filling-the-reservoir) of the RAPT Bluetooth Glycol Chiller.\

](https://docs.kegland.com.au/products/cooling-equipment/rapt-bluetooth-glycol-chiller-or-user-guide/setup-and-operation#setting-reservoir-temperature)[Set the reservoir temperature to an appropriate temperature](/equipment/rapt-bluetooth-glycol-chiller-or-user-guide/setup-and-operation.md#setting-reservoir-temperature) if using glycol. Do not set this to a temperature lower than recommended according to [this table](https://docs.kegland.com.au/products/cooling-equipment/g20-glycol-chiller-or-user-guide/initial-setup-and-testing#glycol-percentage-chart). **If you are only using water in the reservoir and not glycol then do *****not***** set the temperature of the reservoir to below 2°C**
**It is important to not set a reservoir temperature that is too low as this can cause the beer in the lines to freeze.**
### Operation
Operation is quite simple. As the submersible pump is powered externally it is easy to have it running continuously if desired. It is generally better to operate the pump an hour or so before the font is in operation to ensure it is cold. This can be done manually or automatically using a smart plug (recommended)
Setting the reservoir temperature to -2°C is appropriate for most setups, but this will vary depending on many factors such as ambient temperatures, length of line and insulation, ABV of the beer etc
