Pacific Coast 1/4 hp chiller?

[dhodorow]

Anyone own a Pacific Coast 1/4 hp chiller? What do you think of it. How noisy when running? What size tank are you using it on? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

I have the CL-650, it has served my 210 and sump/ref well for close to three years, that is with 900watts of lighting.
The compressor is silent compared to the fan......not quite obnoxious but definately pushing the envelope - it also introduces a whole lot of heat into the room it's located in, but then again.....they all do.
With your lighting, a 1/3 or 1/2 horse would be more efficient... I have three 400 watt ballasts that I've been saving money for a 1/2 horse because I know they'll fry my 1/4 horse. T
