my local hydo guy has a grow tent set up in the store using those ice boxes!! as i was looking at it he walked up beside me and said this is what u need in your grow room, keeps things hella cool!!
As he walked away one of the workers walked up beside me so i asked him how good are they and he smiled and told me to look at all of the ice boxes on the floor, then he leaned over and whispered that they were all RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
This means a whole lot of nothing. I use nothing but 6 and 8 inch Ice boxes, HI water cooled dehumidifier, and HI water cooled propane burner with Ice cap. I have 7hp of Chillking chillers, but currently have them shut off from the system and I'm running to waste from my wells. I can keep my 10Kw flowering room at a perfect 79.8 degrees, 1500 PPM, and about 35% RH. Some may think this to be a low RH, but it works well for me. I've been running the system for over a year, and I have nothing but great things to say about the products other than the the fact that the spot chillers are not good quality IMO, and all the chillers are overpriced. Especially the spot chillers. If you are going to spend the money and want a Chillking, go for a commercial unit. I think 3HP is the smallest commercial grade chiller.
As some have suggested, you can definitely find heat scrubbers that you can use that are less expensive than HI products. For my setup, it was just much easier, though more expensive, to buy the ready-to-use products from HI.
The water cooled dehumidifiers are expensive, but I love them. I own two. They are just the 70 pint Frigidaire units converted to a water cooled unit.
When set up properly, water cooling or food safe PG is bomb, and keeps things hella cool!
