I thought I did, but hell if I can find it. :rolleyes:

Hello,

Awesome. I ordered 3 CL-280 sitting at the port still waiting to be picked up. I can't wait to get my hands on them.

Titus

Don't you want to find out why it blew before replacing it?

Walter

Kinda need to get it running to determine that. But pretty sure it was the same reason the next 4 blew :razz:
Too much heat. I had tried to place it under a table, but the ambient temp got too hot and caused it to blow. I moved the table, and all is well.

Hmmm, sounds like you need to get a air conditioner to cool your chiller to cool you tank :lol: On a serious note, do you have central A/C? Would they help keep the tank at a normal temp? I've been quoted $1400 for central air, seems like a better way to go for the money...

Walter

I don't have central air, and I don't think I'd want it. I have windows and the ocean isn't that far away. Almost always a cool breeze going by. The cost of running CA would also be a lot more than a 5amp chiller. And we only have about 10 days total that I would actually want to air condition my house. I don't even use the AC in my van.

You sure know how to make me jelous! :lol: Hmmm, a cool ocean breeze. I've never had the experience yet. :eek: I always have a/c on in the truck, but then again, I'd rather it rain than be hot and sunny...

Walter

:cry:

OK, sorry about that. I't not like I just walk down to the ocean.

I have to actually drive (for about 6 minutes, hehe) :razz:

I can see the burrard inlet from my balconey :)

But even so, I run central air. It helps a lot, the tank stays about 10degrees above ambient in my place. Since I like the house at 74 though, the tank was running at 84... a bit too hot for me. Which is why I bought the chiller.

Personally, I think the central air rocks. Nothing like coming home to a cool house when outside is boiling hot - like today. And my hydro bill isnt so bad. If I recall correctly, I think it was $350 for 62 days this last bill.

AC running every day.
4 x 400wMH running everyday
3 tanks full of equipment running
1 chiller
6 pc's (and one laptop)
big ass TV/entertainment system running every evening for 4-6 hours (my fiancee is hooked on TV)
etc...
