Our 1 HP Water Chiller comes with a titanium heat exchanger. A titanium heat exchanger keeps copper from coming into contact with your water. Because toxic levels of copper can build up in water being used for long periods of time, copper heat exchangers aren’t recommended for use in a closed loop aquarium setup. The use of titanium = Reef Tank Safe!
Pump and Controller Recommendation
- Pump: Danner Mag-drive 500gph – 1800gph. Other pumps may be acceptable, however they need to be rated for less than 10psi max pressure. If you’re using a different pool/spa pump or any other pump rated in horsepower please talk with our tech support first. There is typically a simple work around that allows our chillers to provide cooling to systems which operate at higher pressures. We would be more than happy to help you determine the best method of installation for your system. Be sure and visit our “Accessories” web page to view our selection of pumps and accessory packages available.
- Digital Controller: The controller constantly monitors your systems incoming water temperature, therefore, water flow is needed at all times in order for it to successfully read current temperatures. When your systems water temperature moves above your desired set point, the controller tells the compressor and fan to turn on and begin cooling the water. Once your desired set point temperature is reached, the compressor and fan will turn off.

So I gotta say I am a fan. Bought the 1 hp a year or so ago and have been running it consistently with no issues.
Keeps my water in the range I set with no issues and the room tends to get warm at times.
Am thinking of picking up another unit soon. Oh and most importantly you cant beat the price!!!
On side note this unit does put off some heat but its manageable. I say its a great buy – haven’t regretted it yet.

I use this to chill fermenting white wine — stainless steel tanks nested in larger tanks with water jacketing the tanks holding the wine. This year, I linked this unit to two such tank setups, and it was capable of moving about 1800L (between the two tanks) of must down to 45 degrees F. This unit has worked well for a couple harvests — maybe 3 or 4 weeks total runtime. So far, so good, but I haven’t run it long enough to speak to its durability.

We purchased this product at the beginning of summer to cool the water for our lettuce. The chiller worked as described and was even better than expected. We are planning on expanding our aquaponics farm in the near future and this chiller will definitely be purchased for our new greenhouse.
