Water temperature is very important and by keeping it between 18-21 Celsius will ensure maximum oxygen levels, improved nutrient uptake and help keep Pythium (root rot) at bay. Rising temperatures can occur more often during the warmer months of the year or simply if your grow room is hotter than normal. Using one of these Hailea Water Chillers will ensure it remains where it needs to be at all times.
All Hailea Chillers are capable of chilling and maintaining a water temperature between 6-30 degrees Celsius. The HC-2200B model can also heat water up to a maximum of 46 degree Celsius.
We recommend to always 'over-spec' your chiller so it is not running at full capacity. To work out what one you require, calculate the total maximum water capacity your system or reservoir will hold and then choose a chiller which can cope with this volume. When possible place your chiller outside your grow room - they work in the same way as a fridge and do generate some heat.
