Chiller Recommendation- Prime Modular In-line Chiller???

jerickb1 · 05/25/2007, 02:38 PM

I was wondering if anyone has ever used the Prime Modular In-line Chiller (1/4hp for my 150 gallon tank). I was thinking of using it because it also can be upgraded with a UV sterilizer.

I also looked at the Teco's for the same reason (UV upgrade), but it is more expense.

you horsepower rating seems large for 150 buy thats what i did i have a 1/4 aqualogic unit on 180. I would buy a chiller for a chilling / heater control only as you may find you need a larger UV down the road.

It does seem a little large, but it seems as though the sizing seems to skip from the 1/10 up to 1/4 (I have seen a few 1/5 but they seem to be less common).

Any thoughts on plumbing for these?
