FishPlusFish Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hi guys, started using a Hailea 1/4 chiller for my new tank about 2 days now and set it as 26 degree Celsius, but I notice every half an hour it turns on for about 5-10min, is that normal or does it only happens during the run in of a new chiller? Tank is not near any windows/under sunlight. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member digleftnose Posted January 7, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted January 7, 2020 It depends on your tank size.The basic operation is, if you set it to 26, the chiller will kick in when temp is at 27 and stops at 25.9.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a few forums and notice people saying theirs kick in around an hour plus or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yunitor1 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hi. You should check what temperature chiller starts and stops. If it the same as said previous message than check your water flow. Check if the water temperature in the DP is coincide with what shown on chiller display as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member DottyClown Posted January 9, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted January 9, 2020 I believe there are several factors that could affect how frequent and how long your chiller kicks in. These includes - Using External or Internal Temperature Probe - Placement of External Probe - Chiller Flow Rate - Surrounding Ambient Temperature - Size of tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
