SRC Member supremo Posted November 13, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2004 the thermostat in my 650 needed to be replaced within 1 month after buying it. it took a day for them to service the unit and when i got it back is okey so far (touch wood). in terms of noise, i could only hear the air coming out of the slots, it's not a mechanical sound at all. although once in a whle i get thudding sound when the compressor switch off.

SRC Member typrobin Posted November 13, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2004 talk bout noise, try a artica 1HP external unit...its much worse... Quote MY OLD 3ft!! My Latest Plan!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningstrike Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 talk bout noise, try a artica 1HP external unit...its much worse... that's the reason it is named "external unit". u can't make comparison to an indoor unit....... if u really wanna make comparison, it is only reasonable if u take the artica indoor units, e.g. units below 1/3hp for benchmarking.

SRC Member rusty Posted November 13, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2004 This chiller is quite quiet. Not as much fan noise as from the resun CL-300(old batch) that I used to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted November 14, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 14, 2004 Its not bad actually.....saw the insides and its dull grey metal in the heat exchanger - what does that tell you?

Dotty1313 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hi, Sorry to hijack this thread... I bought a CL650 recently to cool my 400L (tank+sump - should be lesser if consider LR)... running about 300W of lights. The chiller is set to 28 degrees as my tank temp register 27 degrees... anyway, the chiller seems to be running most of the time ( hmm... just saw my Nov bill - mid month and it is already consumed 200KWh more than my usual electric bill ) ... thought I have already buy a higher hp ... supposed to only need 1/5hp given the heat generated... Is this normal? My previous chiller (1/5 from Aquatechic) don't seem to be that bad.... what other things can affect the proper running of the chiller? Help greatly appreciated. Regards... Dotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted November 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 16, 2004 Could be 2 reasons : 1) The pump used (better flow rate) 2) The calibration of the thermometer (setting the temperature of the chiller to coincide with the tank temperature and then set the chiller to acheive the desired temp eg. tank shows 30 degrees set the chiller temperature to 30 as well and then set the desired chilling temperature to say 27 degrees). Hope this helps (i only learnt recently that the temperature can be calibrated) Quote My Beautiful ANGEL - Matsushima Nanako Equipment List for 4x2x2 Tank & 3x1.5x1.5 Sump Hagen 802 x 2, Tunze 6060, Arcadia T5 (54W x 8), Eheim 1260 (return) Eheim 1250 (Chiller), Aquabee 300 x 2 (Feed) H&S 150-F2001 (850l Skimmer), H&S A110-F2000 (400l Skimmer), H&S 110-F1000 (1000l Sulphur/Nitrate Filter), H&S 150-F2000IA (800l Calcium Reactor) Coralife 3X (UV Steriliser), I-Aquatic IF 312 (Fluidised Reactor), Kent Kalk Delivery, Resun CL650, Pinpoint ORP & PH Meters & Wireless Thermometer 4x2x2 Tank Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotty1313 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hi Melvyn, Thanx for the advice. Are you saying that putting a higher flow rate PH will help? Regards... Dotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member houndster Posted November 17, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hi Melvyn, Thanx for the advice. Are you saying that putting a higher flow rate PH will help? Regards... Dotty I think use a slower flow rate.. Mine i use only 1200l/h.. for a 2ft.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
