The adaptor is a long extended pce with a open/shut function.

by adding this adaptor I m sure its will prevent the hose from bending as it is extended upwards. Also notice that ehiem hose kinda of too "soft" I shld brought the china made hose & cheaper too.

Using an adaptor will help... Try to position the hose properly before switching on your canister...

Flowrate issues have been solved. However just another question.
Chiller takes about 5mins max to cool down from 25.1degree - 23.9 degree.
It then rests for approximately 30mins before the whole process starts again.
Is this considered a very short kick in kick out timing?

5mins on and half hour off seems quite ok actually. But, I think if you install an external thermister there might be some improvement.
