Currently I am using Hailie for 3.5 years plus and it has ben serving me quite well.

On January 2008 , I have the fan changed.

You are free to view and negotiate.

I am decoming slowly.

No obligation to purchase.

hi bro thanks for the response. Just to check, does it fits to > 500 ltrs of water?

Thanks again.

It think my chiller will be a drain to cool your tank.

Forget about mind.

I suggest you get 1 or 1.5 Hp to cool your tank.

My 2 cents worth.

i think 0.5 hp is fine given the spec from hailea ( those newer models black in color) :)

actually my estimated volumn is around 570 ltrs

i m using 1/2hp for 400L. for chiller it's always better to get 1 size above ur spec. n dun forget brands of chillers do matter too.

Bro, while hoping you can get a good deal, i also hope you will get from reliable seller. Do consider the risk involved in getting one with hidden problem and you may end up sending more money and time wasted. 1/2 or 1 hpseems to be ok for your setup. However, do get review as some spec cannot be trusted 100%. For europe pdt, should be able to trust as they are precise or tends to over cater. For china-made, something i will doubt their claims. Also, check on the power consumption. No point getting cheap but end up paying more in long run operating cost. If after buying, dont use it, it seems to defeat the purpose in getting. Just my 2 cents worth of opinion. Best wishes in your search. : )
