skyjuice123 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 You will need to tell pple what size of tank etc. JBJ has a website where one can work out the sizes for various tanks. Use 3.8 litres per gallon and max temperature(30C or 87F) for current water temperature. Remember to add 20% for lighting load to take care of ballast if fluorescent is used. Finally, up one size larger because chiller will degrade in performance over time also for future additional work. http://chiller.jbjlighting.com/prod_chiller_size.asp There are many DIYs, from using a bar fridge to full size job using air conditioning unit. Google to find out. Not as easy as buying a second hand unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
