Description
These Active Aqua chillers are designed to maintain the water and nutrient solutions at the right temperature. They’re great for hydroponic systems, aquariums, and cold plunge setups. The two versions are the standard 1 HP unit and the 1 HP Power Boost chiller.
Keeps Water Cool and Steady
They work well for 80 to 250-gallon (300- to 950-liter) reservoirs. Both models above have a 10,050 BTU per hour capability to cool most large systems. Depending on the setup, they also pair well with flow rates of up to 1,320 to 3,900 gallons per hour.
Made for Tough Conditions
The evaporator coil is constructed of 100 percent pure titanium to prevent rusting in fresh or salt water. The outer shell is tough and suitable for use in grow rooms or commercial facilities. These chillers are rugged and will not fail even after years of reliable operation.
Easy to Use Controls
Each unit has a microcomputer controller with an LED or LCD display . Users can easily establish their ideal temperature. The system keeps the water temperature consistent, and it never overheats. Growers can fine-tune the temperature up and down in small increments for ultimate control.
Power Boost Option for Faster Cooling
The Power Boost feature accelerates water cooling. With this mode activated, the chiller will run at its maximum power output for a short amount of time, typically up to two hours. Then, it returns to normal mode. This comes in handy if the water is too hot and the system needs to cool down fast.
Works in Different Systems
These chillers are useful in more than just hydroponic setups.
- For Hydroponics, they help maintain the temperature of the nutrient solution between 65℉ to 75℉, a range that plants’ roots prefer. Warm water can damage plants and cause roots to rot. Keeping it cool is better for plant health and production increases.
- For Aquariums and Cold Plunge: Some folks employ these chillers in small fish tanks or cold plunge pools. Power Boost is particularly useful for fast water chilling in plunge setups.
Easy to Set Up
It is combined with a submersible water pump for water circulation through the chiller to achieve the best cooling performance. The flow rate of the pump must correspond to the intended flow rate. The cooler needs a ventilated area to absorb the emitted heat. The unit includes adapters to connect to popular pump sizes such as AAPC1010, AAPC1020, or AAPC20.
Simple Maintenance
Maintaining the chiller is its guarantee of longevity.
Routine Checks
Users should inspect their hoses and fittings regularly to prevent leaks. It’s also a good practice to clear out the evaporator once a year to ensure nothing is blocking or restricting airflow, which would compromise cooling power.
Solving Problems
If the chiller is not cooling as it should, the user should see if the airflow is obstructed or the pump flow is too low. Ensure the fan is not obstructed and there is enough space around the unit.
Final Thoughts
Keep the water at the right temperature with the 1HP chiller from Active Aqua. The standard features include powerful cooling, while the Power Boost version provides faster performance when necessary. Both models are reliable, effective, and designed to promote better growth and system health.
