    Default Water cooler in Wilma system

    Only just started growing again so it’s been a while but happy to be back in the driving seat.
    Already hit a hick up with my Wilma in the 70l tank, the solution is sitting at 23c and I want to correct this before it gets too late as I’ve had root rot before and it wasn’t pretty so I want to avoid any nasties in the tank before it’s too late and keep the little ladies happy.

    I’m looking into buying the hailea hc-100a and hooking this up to cool my solution.

    Has anyone any experience in using one of these and setting one up because I’m clueless on parts I will need etc.

    Looked about for temps to set it too and I’m getting mixed results, think I’m at the very top end of what it should be so that seems to me like I’m playing with danger!

    Would be nice to get someone’s expertise on this matter, thanks.

    I wish I could, I’m not there Monday to Friday because I work away, I’m thinking of getting a slab of insulation and just cutting out for the pots.
    Should be fine very soon when weather gets colder as I’m on a cold cellar floor but I need it right now before I hit problems

    I have the hailea bud easy to set up and use
    You will need a waterpump like a mj1000
    Some pipe forgot the size but just mj1000 pipe
    I used iceline which is white
    You will need to have the pump submerged in your nutrient res with the pipe going into the "in" side on the chiller.
    Then have a pipe coming from the "out" part of the chiller and route it back into your nutrient res
    You set the temp and the chiller does it's job

    The pump just feeds the chiller your feed, the chiller cools it and sends it back
    if i help drop a THANKS its free
