I am looking at UMI, Pacific Coast and so far my favorite Current Prime.

I see that the Prime Chiller uses half the power as the others? I am looking at the 1 HP chiller.

Anybody have some links to reviews on these chillers or any info?

Thanks,
David
 
Ask Sal, he's fixed them all. From my experience, smaller PCI chillers aren't reliable. Their large models have a good reputation. Prime is also good.
 
I have a pacific coast 1/10 hp on my 90g. It works great, does its job, and is somewhat quiet.
 
Check into the Tradewind chillers. I have heard nothing but good things about them.

I got the Current USA Prime Commercial 1HP unit
a> brand new off ebay last year. The most efficient 1HP chiller I could find at the time. It has been rock solid for me and only 7.5 amps or so.... :) built very well with an electronic temp controller with a remote control. (I have no idea why a chiller needs a remote control... ) It may cost more than some of the other brands but it will pay for itself in electricity savings in short order....
