Chiller I bought "new" from some uh, ah, someone on ebay 18 months ago has oil all over the inside, and my tank is at 87*
I put in all the window units today, and my house is cooling down nicely, but from a peak of 88* my tank's only down 1* so far. I know I need a chiller. 3/4 to 1 horse power would be ideal, but I can't afford to be real picky right now.
Who's got what for sale?
 
If you feel like a road trip check the surrounding states forums. There are a few out there
 
PHILYD1 hasn't posted a chiller for sale here that I can find.
 
Larry, that is too small for you.

Honestly Vinny, I'm hoping to get a 3/4 HP unit, but the more I think about it, the harder it is to spend the $$ on another used one. I'm seriously considering this:

It's only 1/3 HP, but is so efficient that it should work just fine for me @ about 500 gallons.
I don't know for sure yet, but that new chiller with a 2 year warranty looks good to me. $1075.00 (+tax??) doesn't look quite so good.

I wish I could link the one I bought on Ebay 1.5 years ago. That cost me about a grand, what a debachle that was. If you want to see the chiller, search ebay for perfecttemp. Here's a thread I started in the "manufacturer's" back yard...

not sure how to edit my post... but was looking to get 200$ for the chiller if for what ever reason it fails in future i would refund u... but it looks like its too small... but if u in a pinch and need let me know i could even maybe let u borrow it.
 
Looks good. Happy plumbing :beer:

I had to do concrete work during the week to make it fit, but plumbing was complete Friday night. I'm now secure in the knowledge that my tank will never be too hot again.
I think I'm going to order the optional 400 watt heater, too.
 
Tomorrow is going to be hot, too. I'll tell you where the shop is that has Frankenchiller, if you like.
