Current usa chiller

does anyone use or have used the current usa 1/3hp prime tower chiller?
I'd would like to know your thoughts and what size and type of tank you used it on.
Thanks,
jmcnaz

I have the 1/4 prime tower. I've only had it about 3 months but it works great so far. The temp has been very consistent.

Not wanting to hijack the thread..

If anyone has any experience with the current USA 1/10hp chiller, I'd apreciate hearing that as well.

thanks,
Dan

For the record - my local shop told me that he had heard of inconsistency in temps with these chillers. But when I was thinking of buying one, he contacted his rep and they told him that the sensor (or whatever it is) has been updated in the newer models and that was no longer an issue.
Because of the concern, I've kept a close eye on my temperature and it has been very consistent. I'm very happy with my chiller.
