Jaded is the wrong word. I assiduously sought and found bargains on the equipment I wanted- and spent plenty of time at it, too. I'm not jaded, you're just a lil jealous!
This is best price now ,eco can be found for 1200. 2 years ago was price wasn't as flexible. You are a little jaded because you never paid retail for your system.
From limited info my conclusion is
4# Import $
3# Eco plus/ commercial import $$
2# Chill king USA $$$
1# Whaley USA $$$$ best efficiency 14 seer
Does anyone have experience or info on either of these Chillers???
yea i thought that same thing looking at the seller rating on the first one... I have been considering the ecoplus commercial chiller as well but its still +300$ more than that second one.... I have been looking at that second listed one for a long time.. I really wish i could get sum feedback on it... I may end up being the guinea pig on it though... If i do end up getting it ill make sure to post my experience and review of it here...Based on seller rating alone I wouldn't touch the second one. I've seen the first one on hydro sites, though I think you would do better buying an eco plus commercial from a reliable source, like hydroponics.net. I have no experience with these units however...

I understand this but how do you know that the chiller I listed isnt quality??? As far as i know no one has even seen it it person.... I hate to be a dick, but you didnt answer my question... I already am well aware of all the stuff you said.. Right now i have a 1/10HP chiller chilling 11 8gal buckets with 2kw HID i got cooling vented from my basement and once in a while from my central A/C... My plants are thriving.. So im well aware how to cool my room... I just am curious if anyone has used either of these chillers... What if it is just as good as a high dollar chiller and works the same for $1000 less???A big chiller that cools much or all of your crop is by definition a mission critical piece of equipment; meaning that if it fails, your op does too.
This is why I keep harping on the subject of getting quality gear! The top dollar stuff is just that-- but unlike sneakers or sunglasses, you actually get what you pay for- and generally better performance as well as reliability.
One more thing; as insane as it might sound, get a BIGGER chiller than the one you think you'll need. Don't get two or more little ones, because big ones are much more efficient. This won't cost much extra in operating costs, as a chiller will shut off anytime its water supply is cool enough.

I felt badly, and it certainly added to the fire under my ass to get things fixed. That haste was costly. I didn't run the water at night, I shut off half my lights and vented like crazy, kept it down to 86 in the overnight room.
Wasting anything is wasteful. I did not fully utilize that water, but it's temp kept my op alive- that's not a waste in my book!
Sea, your sensibilities and mine match closely when it comes to the environment, its defense, and the resources we as indoor growers use in insane amounts! At least all that water went towards the cause of my hunting for efficiency gains... I hope that helps you feel better. I hated doing it so much I'm keeping a SECOND $3000 CHILLER AS A SPARE. If that's not putting my money where my mouth is, what would be?
I didnt read the whole thread but you could build one i mean build a chiller right?All right Bobsled, you wanted to talk smack on my profie page and lie there? Get your head together, fella! I didn't talk about what I PAID, because others can't get that price. THAT would have been the unethical thing to do, what is your problem?
RETAIL is $2895.00, plus applicable taxes. If anything, then, $3K is an UNDERSTATEMENT, not an exaggeration.
The hydro store price you found- a goood one, by the way- is a DISCOUNTED price off retail. These are basic marketing definitions here, I'm pulling no one's leg, and you are barking up the wrong tree.
Get a grip.
chill King is just a 9.2 eer Frigidaire AC.

EER energy efficiency rating/This is true. At least, it agrees with the tag on the side of mine. If like to know what this number means, and how its different from SEER.
Yes if you know how to evacuate lines and charge Freon.I didnt read the whole thread but you could build one i mean build a chiller right?
