Well it's chiller time again for me. I run a 1/4 hp drop-in style and they last about 4 years. My question is will the inline chillers have a better life span? Noise and heat are no problem as the sump and tank are in a basement. I also do not understand why they are so much money. For the inline people how do you clean the heat exchanger? Any help with a brand would be helpfull. Thanks

I just know titanium coil is important. little condensed air should handle cleaining the radiator.

they are expensive as heck though. havent figured that out myself. you can get a 1ton home AC unit for as much as some 1hp chillers.

I just wonder, because I have always had drop-in styles, if the flex on the coil could be the problem. The units I have run are Aqualogic. I called them Friday ,very nice customer service, to get the high and low presures and amount of freon. I will try to fix this one but not looking good. I've heard tradewind are good units.

Yep this chiller is toast. What are you running in the way of brand?

dont know actually, bought it used from skrizz. it works though :p their so expensive new, my opinion of the best brand is whatever you can find used lol.
