Jaded cyclone cfc

Long story short I bought a Jaded cyclone cfc a while ago and it didn’t work with my setup. It really needs to be recirculated through. I had trouble getting a gravity siphon started through it. There were a bunch of air pockets so I doubt the wort was fully in contact with cooling. I guess I thought I would have a pump setup by now. Anyone interested in this type of chiller? It is an awesome looking piece but it isn’t doing much sitting in my basement.

Buy a pump.

Have you tried filling it with tap water first to blowout the air then just discard it until wort runs through? A pump is always a good brewing tool but not an inexpensive one. I have a pump but run my wort through my CF with gravity no problem. How much lower is the cyclone than your kettle?
