chiller for 3ft tank

[Aldrick]

Hi Bros and sis,may i know a hailea a300 1/4hp good enough for 3x2x2 tank or underpower???

Yes

In fact, I'm using it for my 3ft. So far so good. It's quiet.

Good enough but it does take awhile to cool. I was using a HC300A too, then decided to upgrade to HS90A (1/2HP).

Thanks bro for the replies.That model i find it warm.How often does it kick in?

[Kayakkite]

You meant the exhaust warm? All chiller will be quite warm when activated. It's better to place outside.

1/2 HP is gd 4 3 ft less than 5 min to kick...

Hmm.. Sorry.. I'm not home often enough to tell how often it kicks in. But in comparison to the HC300A, when i was using the 300A, I always hear it on when I come home and feels like it was constantly running.. But with the HS90, I don't hear it kick in that often and on the average think it takes bout 10-15mins to cool 0.1 degrees. And yup, as what bro kayakkite say, all chillers will have a warm exhaust, or rather, should have.. Otherwise means something abnormal liao.. Haha..

Thanks guys but if keep on kick in house very warm sia

Hmm.. If heat is your concern, I believe the only way to go about it is to install a condenser unit that sits outsider.

But honestly speaking, the heat generated from my 1/2hp chiller, doesn't significantly affect the temperature in my house.

compressor is more energy efficient in the long run, my 1hp daikin takes 2mins and 30secs to bring temperature down by 0.1 deg, doesnt kick in that often also.

Plus it is housed in the air con ledge, thus in the living room, there is no noise and heat.

yup agree also Compressor kicks in fast and kicks out fast and that equals saving electrical bills
