Need chiller recomendation for 700 Gallon water volume

[Malcolm_C]

Looking for size and brand help, im in florida, its hot all year around.

I recommend USA-made Tradewind chillers.
They have some whoppers, that will easily handle your volume.

I have about a 1000 gallons and run a Pacific coast 1 HP. I really like it. My first mistake was trying to use a slightly undersized chiller thinking that I only needed a couple degrees, it ran 24/7 and heated up the room to about 90 degrees and barely kept the tank under 81. So I bought the right chiller for the job, relocated it to the garage and problem solved. I would say this is an area not to cut corners.

i agree with you, i did just that with my current system, i should have purchased a 1/2 not a 1/3. so i figure i will go with 1 1/2 this time, guess it just wont work as hard.

my problem is i don't want to install a 230v circiut.

The units are extremely well built, the inlet and outlets are both quick connect and the attached controller works like a dream. Good luck with your search.

looks cook, but they recommend a 3hp for 800G of water, i was under the impression that a horse would be enough
