EcoPlus Chiller, 1/2 HP

This cooler worked great for a month or so... I’ve reached out to the seller for an exchange (as I need a replacement before I can take it out or water will go everywhere)... they approved a refund, but in this case that won’t help me. Hop to hear something soon as we’ve spent about $150 on ice keeping the water cold in this DWC garden project!! Standing by..

It's a pretty good chiller, currently used in my 75 gallon display tank with a 25 gallon sump and works like a charm.

I don't think the chiller should have had liquid in it upon receiving and unpacking. I noticed a strong odor coming from the unit.

Works well, very warm when on.

Worked for less then a month then broke down. Completely stopped cooling. I had the 1/10th HP chiller on a 34 gallon tank and after a few weeks it completely crapped out. Tank went to high 80s and a bunch of corals died. I thought maybe there was a kink in the tubing so I took it off the tank and tried it on a 5 gallon bucket of water - nope! Nothing. Would not cool anymore!! Not even a month into it. I was using a pump with flow rate less than 300 gph and the chiller was kept outside of the cabinet with room around it. Totally unhappy with the purchase. If a chiller doesn't last more than a few weeks, its not a reliable product. I wish I could give this zero stars.

I've been using this 1/10 HP chiller for nearly a year to cool a 50-gallon axolotl tank to 70-degrees. So far, it's been able to keep up with the hot Louisiana weather with no problems!

We needed to use it as a water chiller in a fodder machine, and the manufacturer recommended this unit as one of the options. It didnt work at all...actually blew out the internal works. Don't know if we did something wrong, but the instructions are a little unclear and weren't real helpful. It might work just fine for the aquarium thing, or whatever else you might use it for, but I sure don't recommend it for a fodder machine.

Sorry I don’t normally do reviews. But I tried twoOf these after first couldn’t bring down temp fast enough. Second unit was very loud. Well first one was also loud but the second definitely has fan issues. If you are using this for aquarium just a warning it is loud compared to jbj Artica. Ultimately that’s what I went with even though A couple hundred more it was well worth it. Quit and cools very fast.
