Chillers

[Mark Gray]

Hi everyone I am thinking I will buy a chiller, I have 2 tanks one has not delivered yet. My 55 got up to like 87 this summer I do have a fan on it, but what I was thinking was to get a larger chiller and run a 80 and a 90 on the same chiller, and maybe add some electric valves to open and close as needed for cooling they are in different rooms and the chiller would be in the Garage, I think I want to get a 220 volt chiller also. Have any of you guys ever done this?

What type of lights are you running and would the two tanks be connected?

 

[Mark Gray]

No the two tanks will not be connected On both LEDs only and both will have their own Apex system

220v would be my choice too. Less electricity consumption. Good choice

I 100 percent agree with that but the 220 volt ones are really high

Would need 2 pole GFCI . I see electrician

I'm able to repair my 110v chillers, I get for $20-$40. They sometimes come up for sale. 3mo. ago got one $20., all of them 1/4hp. All working.

I'm not aware of any 220 smaller chillers - maybe there are some. Assuming you mean 80 and 90 gallon tanks, that's not going to require a large one. Oversizing chillers is problematic as they will short cycle.
