Yr normal powerhead would not be able to damage the sealed heat exchanger. Let me know which brand you are using if the heat exchanger explodes

Some chillers have a restrictor built-in so no matter how much pressure the pump exert, only XXXL/hr will go in & out. In this case, there is nothing you can do.

However, if your chiller comes with a screw-in hose adapter, you can change it to a larger diameter to accomodate higher flow.
