hailea hc-100a or Arctica Nano 1/20hp?

[finind]

how much better is Arctica Nano 1/20hp compare to hailea hc-100a? ... as it is double the price.

how much quieter?

please share your experience and views

[finind]

if no hole is drilled, how to hold/fasten the return hose to the main tank?

[Guest]

Artica Chiller is long re-known for it;s quality and reliability, depending on your budget and requirement Hailea chiller serve it;s purposes as well for a simple setup.

[finind]

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?

[Solo77]

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.

hailea 100a is a 1/20hp chiller, so is it max power consumption is 37watt?

any user can advise what's te impact on electrical bill?

[finind]

can hailea hc-100a user advise:

once the chiller temp. is set, it will have to be kept running?

if on and off say thru' timer, the setting will be gone?

[finind]

welcome to the club!

I have HC130 and it is ..... Noisy!

try playing around the valve either tightening or lossening it, may help a little.

yo bro, thanks for responding and the advise!

also thought of making a soundproof/dampering box for this ~!@#$ ... wonder it is possible.

really is not my style to get an air-con without checking the compressor noise.

when I choose my home aircon, I went to switch on every compressor at gaincity to make sure I get the quietest one!

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 ....

一分钱，一分货。

IMHO, Arctica/Daeil chiller is still the better in term of Quietness, Quality, Reliability, Effectiveness n Size !

[JeffL]

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! You are very rude

sigh... you are right...

Daeil?... nowaday uncommon leh...

to pay another $500 for the quietness, if really is quiet enough, is not easy to overcome

but now given a chance will guai guai hand over my $$$

anyone interested in hailea nano "washing machine" ?? ... 3 days old... $200 ai mai??

[finind]

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 ...

[finind]

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....

Take note 150 will require bigger space and higher flowrate.

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

indeed can lower the rattling sound

[JeffL]

good trick right?

learnt it from Hailea guy

i plan to use timer to on the chiller from noon till 11pm

dont wana hear that sound at night and in the morning

midnight onwards use fan

how is your kick in & out duration like?

[finind]

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

[finind]

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
