Review: It Works!!!! - I must admit that after reading the low level of reviews, I decided to give this unit a chance even though the price tag was out of this world. I could buy a nice A/C unit for less and that's all it really is, a very small A/C unit with just a different function and way less parts. This unit should sell for 1/2 this price. Now, having said all of that, I needed something to cool about 16 gallons of water and keep it that way 24/7 and for the life of me, couldn't find a cheaper one than this. So, here I am reviewing a product I expected the worse from and all I got was GREAT service. I bought this about 5-6 weeks ago and just now turned it off. It never missed a beat. It never leaked and, it maintained my "set" temp the entire time which, btw, is easy to set up. It does put off heat just like an A/C unit or Dehumidifier would so be prepared for that. I used a pump that had a high GPM compared to what was recommended for my water volume. Didn't matter. Worked Great! But, 5-6 weeks of good operation does not a good purchase make, especially at $300, so if I have trouble in the future, "I'll Be Back!" to update this review. As of this writing, I would recommend this unit..... Be sure to place upright for a length of time BEFORE you start up the unit. For me, I waited for hours. Make sure everything is secure also. Imagine what it's been through on the way to your door. PURE HELL!!!!! Review: the unit works great!! - i ordered the 1/10 unit and so far it has worked perfectly. i had to purchase the 1/2 hose kit with clamps because the unit only comes with larger barbs by default but the kit was only $10 so thats fine. there are a few things that should be corrected about the description... 1. the description says the unit uses r410a coolant but the manual says the 1/10 model uses r134a coolant. i dont know how that matters because im no expert but it doesnt match what the manual says. 2. the biggest blunder is the power draw. it says it uses 460w of power and i was worried that it would be too much for the area with the lights and pumps and everything else. when i got the unit i immediately hooked it up by following the directions and once i powered it on and it was in the middle of cooling it registered the power draw at a very very reasonable 180w. now i havent used the fast cooling option since my res is small but idk if that would double the power draw. as of right now 180w while its cooling is more than ok for me. some things i would have liked to see (i knew they werent features of the unit but they would be very useful)... 1. a power plug for water pumps. right now the water pump will run 24/7 even when the unit isnt cooling the water down and having a pump that shuts off soon after the unit does would save some power. my pump isnt drawing crazy amounts of power but like ne thing that draws power it is producing heat which heats up the res faster than it would if the pump wasnt running which ultimately makes the unit run more often and longer than it would if the pump would turn off. it also increases the life of the pump not having to run every moment of everyday. 2. have the unit run the fans for a couple of minutes after it finishes cooling. right now when it stops cooling and the compressor turns off the fan turns off too letting the internals heat soak in the heat generated by cooling. if the fan ran for a couple extra mins the heat with be removed increasing the life of the components. 3. include the dang 1/2 barb kit with the unit lol. all in all the device works great and it cooled the res temps all the way down to 65 degrees in less than an hour and it barely runs every hour so im very happy with the way it performs. ## Features - COMPACT POWER FOR COLD THERAPY: Engineered for smaller cold plunge setups, this 0.10 HP chiller delivers spa-grade cooling for recovery, hydrotherapy, and wellness—all in a sleek, efficient design sized for 10–40 gallons. - CONSISTENT, PRECISE COOLING: Digital control system maintains your target temperature with exceptional accuracy, giving you steady, refreshing cold sessions without ice or guesswork. - PURE TITANIUM PERFORMANCE: Built with a corrosion-resistant titanium evaporator, designed for long-lasting durability in fresh or salt water—ideal for clean, safe, and efficient cold exposure routines. - BOOST FUNCTION TECHNOLOGY: Activate extra cooling power to quickly reach your desired chill zone, perfect for spontaneous plunges, daily recovery, or shared wellness spaces. - WELLNESS MEETS VERSATILITY: Designed for modern lifestyles—works flawlessly with cold plunge tubs, aquariums, reef tanks, and hydroponic systems.

You can also circulate the vinegar mix, rather than a bath soak, with the feed pump using a 5 gallon bucket as the reservoir. Hydrofarm LLC Manufacturer · May 23, 2019 | Delete **Q: Can this set the temp on a 55 gallon salt water tank, 66 to 68 degrees?** A: Large refrigeration capacity (recommended volume: 10‒40 gal / 50‒150 L), this unit goes as low as 39 degrees F. **Q: Do I need a water pump & can nutrient water run through this chiller?** A: Yes, a small water pump (recommended rate of flow is 132-396GPH) is required to circulate the water through the chiller. Nutrients shouldn't cause any issues unless as long as the chiller is flushed (distilled vinegar ect.) annually to remove calcium and other deposits that may build up overtime from the nutrients. **Q: I have a air to water heat exchanger and need to cool down the water that’s at 90-95 F. Can I cool it down enough with this?** A: Depends on the specific parameters; water temp, ambient air temp, water volume, etc. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It Works!!!! *by A***G on May 6, 2020* I must admit that after reading the low level of reviews, I decided to give this unit a chance even though the price tag was out of this world.
