If you wish to order please place orders with your dealers this week coming and I will try and get shipped for the beginning of June.
 
Ok let me explain before we all get negative.

The prices are directly in line with the prices in Europe EVEN though we have to pay huge shipping costs to get these to North America.

The GHL PTC range is also directly and in some cases cheaper than the direct competition. Except the nearest rival to this unit does not have direct intelligent control built into it so it can not be computer controlled by the ProfiLux. the PTC CAN!!

So you are getting a unit comparable with the nearest unit to this on the market, you are getting German over engineering, thus a unit that will last many years and it can be controlled directly by your ProfiLux.

Yes GHL could have produced a unit maybe a third the cost, but do you want a cheap peltier unit that will rattle the teeth out of your Granny and probably not last very long

As with all things GHL you pay for the highest of quality coupled with over engineering and a unit that will last for years.

If you want something that will cost you maybe 20% less but last 18 months there are plenty of cheap chillers from China on the market, but if you want to spend that bit extra get a unit you can install and forget and will last many years, well then you have the GHL ProfiLux PTC

Please also remember this is NOT just a chiller
 
Are there more specs available on these units at the moment Michael ???

Like full list of the SMS features, also would be interested in knowing how far the temp pull downs are on the PTC units... I really like the fact that it can just keep a temp rock steady by chilling or heating the water... :thumbsup:

According to the tank "sizes" I would need the PTC6, but if my tank only needs to pull down a degree or two tops, I might be able to get away with a smaller unit.....

Im still waiting to see what my tank does once we get into full summer swing, but would like to know my options before it gets TOO hot. :D
 
I am still waiting full specs. Due to the massive amount of pressure to get pricings out this came first before specs.

I am sure Matthias will eb able to answer all these questions better than I can.

Please be patient though, this week coming is Europes biggest aquatic fair and all manufacturers are working flat out to prepare, I was surprised to get pricing before next weekend from GHL and thank Matthias for giving the time to me to produce this for you guys.
 
One thing also to think about is that for the month of June dealers will be given the chance to participate in a pre order 10% off price promo.

So all pre orders placed with our dealers between now and the end of June will receive a 10% discount on PTC chillers.
 
:eek2: WOW, I think I may have to consider other alternatives. Even with a 10% discount, it wouldn't cover our Canadian taxes that would come on top of those prices. Also, I would have to take into account the cost of the extra power consumption.

As I said above, these prices are CHEAPER than the nearest competition, so I am not quite sure what you are judging these prices against.

ProfiLux does stand for excellent quality and low prices thats why the PTC is cheaper than other similar units, so GHL philosophy has not changed.

No the PTC is not for everyone, but for those who want ultimate enviromental control of their system in a way that you set up and forget then the PTC comes into its own.

You also can not judge this against any other standard chiller because just as the name suggests ProfiLux Temperature Controller (PTC), is NOT just a chiller but an all in one enviromental controller that is designed to reduce your electrical running costs based on its ramp up and ramp down design, only working as hard as your system requires rather than flat out and off and then waiting for the heat to build up before going flat out again.

I think that everyone is judging them against the big, noisy, need a ton of airflow, refrigerated units is all.... Once you put these against the "competition" is when you start to see the cost being equal.
 
There is no disputing the quality of GHL, however, "non-comparatively" speaking, I think that some of us are taken back by the prices of the PTC - in general, and yes, as stated, the PTC will not be for everyone, because many people will not be able to justify spending that kind of money on " ultimate environmental control of their system" when there are other viable and less expensive means of achieving similar results. On top of the Profilux II and its basic controlling and monitoring functions, once you start adding on units such as PTC, SMS, LED lighting, etc, etc., at those prices, it will add up into thousands of dollars, and in some cases, equal to, or more than our set-up tanks are worth! JMHO

:eek1:
 
Nobody says you have to have all those functions, you choose what is important to you, just becuase you have a ProfiLux does not mean you have to own every single feature GHL do.

As with any system, yes to bolt on every conceivable extra will run into thousands but I am sure the user is more realisitc to their own requirements than that.

Nobody yet has shown me a comparable unit that is cheaper than the PTC. GHL dont just throw some high numbers in a hat and choose the highest that comes out, the price is more than comparable with the competition and in fact cheaper and also has way more functionality.

As I said before many times on this forum, you get what you pay for in life, if you want a basic chiller that will be expensive to run and a seperate heater and then control them independantly hoping that the heater does not stick on or the chiilers gas does not leak out in less than 2 years, then you have the cheap option available. BUT if you want something that will last years, be economical to run and fully controllable to your own set enviroment then you have the PTC.
 
Hey Michael,
Are different sized units able to be daisy changed?
Such as two PTC6's and a PTC4?

And what happened to the PTC5 lol?

PTC - gulp, but I'll buy

PTC - gulp, but I'll buy

Wow. I hope the thing lasts for more than two years!

Nevertheless, I'm down for a PT6. Michael, should I order through you or through a local retailer? Thus far I've always bought directly from you, but don't know if your structure has changed. I'm happy to buy in the manner you prefer.

Questions about PTC

Questions about PTC

Hi, Michael et al.

Now that I've placed an advance order for the PTC6 through my local retailer, I've a few questions:

1. What kind of pump (specifically) do you recommend for the PTC6?

2. How can it be mounted? Does it have to be mounted on a flat surface or can it be mounted either horizontally or vertically on a wall?

3. As it's 800w, can it safely be strung into a profilux digital power bar or should it be attached to a high amp bar?

Thanks,

Erik
