Aqua Via chiller problem

davweaver · 04/05/2006, 06:21 AM

I bought this used and i am having problems....Chiller is an Aqua via 25cc temp readings is 58.5 - 60.5 my water is actually 79.0. I can adjust the setting to have it come on below the 58.5 and it will start chilling. Question is there a temp reset or away to adjust the temp reading?

I had the same problem, when I e-mailed the company they told me that the sensor was bad and offered to sell me a new one. I got a Ranco controller instead and that controls the chiller and temp beautifully.

Yup. You can jumper the unit to run continuously and then use an external controller. I went through 3 of those on my 60gallon. If I recall, there is a 3 pin cable that plugs into the temperature control board fastened to the top cover.

Unplug the wire and connect pins 1 and 3 together.

Keep in mind that I'm working from memory here.
