Ok guys getting closer to finishing my UC set up. Now looking into water chillers.
I was thinking of building my own using my water well.
I have city water that supplies my house but also have a water well, so I was thinking of chilling my UC water with this just as I heated my aquarium water with my hot water heater.
I would use a coil of PEX tubing in the res /epi and flow cold water through the PEX controlled by a ranco temp controler when needed. I would not use a pressure/holding tank , just turn the well pump on and off when needed, this way I think would be easier to control.
This would not be a closed loop system, I would drain it down the drain.
What do you guys think? Will it work?
TIA.
