Cool your nutrient solution quickly with a Hailea Nutrient Chiller. It's like a mini-fridge!
Feed is pumped into your chiller, cooled, then pumped back out again. Nothing else works as well.
Cools quickly - like a mini fridge
Robust - buy one now & use it for years
NOTE: Extra pump & pipework needed
If you've got a hydro system or a nutrient tank, this is just what you need.
Prevents Algae, Pythium & Root Diseases
With a cool feed, oxygen levels stay high and nutrient diseases can't survive. You'll also reduce the risk of algae, which thrives in a warm feed.
Tough & Reliable
Each chiller has a tough metal case and an anti-corrosive evaporator made from pure titanium.
Auto Shut Downs
To protect your motor, your chiller will shut off the circuit if ever it overloads.
Accurate Thermostat
The thermostat is ultra precise so you can reach your target nutrient temperature.
Easy To Use
The display's easy to read and everything's controlled with just 3 x buttons.
Why Use A Nutrient Chiller?
If your nutrient solution is too warm,
Oxygen levels drop
Root growth suffers
Nasty root diseases can take hold
To make matters worth, algae thrives in warmer nutrient solutions - when you get algae, your oxygen level will drop further.
At the right temperatre (18oC - 21oC)
Oxygen levels stays high
Nutrient uptake is high
Algae, Pythium & Root diseases are less of a threat
How To Use
Suitable for
HC-100A
4 - 8 Pot R-DWC; 4 x 40L Rush; 6 Pot IWS Flood; NFT Gro Tank 604, 901 or 1000
HC-500A
12 - 24 Pot R-DWC; 24 x 40L Rush; 36 - 48 Pot IWS Flood
HC2200A
2 - 24 Pot R-DWC; up to 20 x 40L or 24 x 60L Rush; 26 - 48 Pot IWS Flood
To chill an IWS R-DWC or RUSH System, you can simply chill the water in your brain:
To chill any tank, Gro-Tank or MultiDuct, chill the water in your tank
Since Hailea Nutrient Chillers are mini refrigerators, they do emit a little heat. Point an air circulator fan at your heater to counter this.
We recommend placing an inline valve & filter between the flow pump and the inlet of the chiller. This way you can change the flow rate and collect particles.
Don't stack multiples on top of each other.
The Tech
If you’re torn between two models, always over-spec to be safe.
• Position outside the grow room/grow tent where possible - they are mini refrigerators so do generate heat. • Position the chiller in well ventilated location at least 40cm away from walls on either side. • Correctly spec the chiller for the volume of water being treated. The bigger the spec over the water volume the less time the chiller will run. • Correctly spec the water pump to feed the chiller. The rate of water flow through the unit is important. • Use the correct size pipe work and an inline filter on the water feed line to remove any particles or debris. • Clean the chiller after every crop!
1) Place the Hailea Nutrient Chiller somewhere well ventilated, if possible outside of the actual grow room. 2) Locate the chiller input pump at the end of your tank that is nearest to where you have positioned the chiller for NFT. In a RDWC or RUSH you can put the pump in the brain unit. 3) Run a piece of Iceline from the outlet of the pump to the inlet of the Hailea Nutrient Chiller. 4) Run a piece of Iceline from the outlet of the chiller to the furthest away end of your tank (NFT), ensuring that it is submerged. In a RDWC or RUSH system you can simply chill the brain unit, as the water flow is quick enough to circulate around all the pots fast. 5) Set up an air circulator fan near to the chiller to avoid heat build up.
Basic Chiller Usage – Tall tank / Water Butt
1) Place the chiller somewhere well ventilated, if possible outside of the actual grow room. 2) Position the pump at the bottom of the tank. 3) Ideally, position the Hailea Chiller above the tank. If not possible you can position on the floor but it will reduce the pump flow rate. 4) Run a piece of Iceline from the outlet of the pump to the inlet of the chiller 5) Run a piece of Iceline from the outlet of the chiller to the top of the tank, ensuring that it is submerged 6) Set up an Air Circulator fan near to the chiller to avoid heat build up.
Cleaning a Chiller
It’s VERY IMPORTANT to clean your Hailea Nutrient Chillers after every crop to remove mineral deposits and lime scale. 1. Fill chiller with clear pickling vinegar 2. Leave for 24 hours 3. Flush with water
Caution
Make sure the back of your chiller isn’t directly facing your plants – like any refrigerator, they do emit some heat.
If using DWC systems where water is in the system for long periods of, you need to set your temperature a few degrees lower than the required system temperature.
