SRC Member finind Posted September 8, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 8, 2011 Is it necessary to modify the hailea hc-100a to external temperature sensor? where can I do that and what is the cost for parts and service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo77 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 No modification is required unless u want to delink the existing and add in yr own controller which needs good knowledge on the chiller. Understand u are on budget, hence u have to consider the price for ext thermostat in choosing yr chiller, artica good but still depends on yr luck for durability. Bro orsony is able to build one ext. Thermostat and u can diy one also if u know how and parts can get from sim lim tower. Hope this help.

Should not allow import of such LOW quality stuff!! ... sigh... who call me to cheapo ... Hailea got the cheek to claim it is quieter... but they never mention is only when it it not kick in once kick in it matches my washing machine!!! ~!@#$% and the temp. senor is a bit weirdo ....

SRC Member JeffL Posted September 14, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted September 14, 2011 actually there is serious QC problem with Hailea. I recently went to a reefer's house and realised his HC-150 model was already kicking in while we were chatting. It is super quiet!! I would say it is 80% quieter than mine. Awfully pissed and dissappointed at Hailea. If only the bigger names can be cheaper... Time to save up for it P.S To the idiot 'Newbie' police, stay out of my post!

SRC Member finind Posted September 14, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 14, 2011 the so-called strong metal they used might also be a reason of the noise it might be too light and even when it is tighten still rattle a lot and make the noise even more unbearable when I press on the body, the rattle noise soften and the low humming though loud but not as irritating. as I put it beside my IOS tank... wonder will the noise affect the fishes ...

SRC Member finind Posted September 14, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 14, 2011 If I had read this thread then may not dive in to get the 100a and consider 150A instead.... is all too late ...sigh if 150a is really quiet enough in the bedroom then...maybe... perhaps.... http://www.shrimpnow.com/forums/showthread.php/6989-Quietest-Chillers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read somewhere that 150 has a bigger chasis therefore allowing less contact between internal parts vibrating against each other. But I did have a friend who bought 150 from previous 130 said not much differences. So it's really heng suay Try HS28A, I heard it's better. Do some research let us know. I am curious too Quote 2 Feet Tank: (Decom Feb 2015)-Lightings : Pharos LED light 90W with wireless controller-Chiller : Arctica 1/10HP with H2Ocean Flow Pump 2000-Wavemaker : Vortech MP10ES -Skimmer : Bubble Magus NAC 3.5-Return Pump : Eheim Compact 3000-Reactor – TLF150 (Mod) with NP Biopellet-Reactor – TLF150 with Rowaphos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member finind Posted September 15, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 15, 2011 loud noise is likely the material and finishing problem ba the 150a is 5kg+ heavier 100a metal or plastic too thin and/or never make an effort to soundproof the edges say using rubber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member finind Posted September 26, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 26, 2011 seems like the hc100a display panel area is the weakest link applying pressure on it will soften the noise and rattle quick fix - a few heavy CD case rest in front and heavy 2inch computer book on top more muffled sound .. more consistent option to get $168 louvered shoe cabinet still open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
