I was hoping to get some input on how people keep their reservoir temperatures at acceptable levels.
I read a great post from a blade here that used the freezer mechanism from a minifridge to cool his water. That inspired me to take apart a water cooler in the garage--the type you see in offices with 5 gallon jugs on top--.
So, I broke it down to the basic parts; radiator, compressor, copper tubing. I could easily modify the system to work in my grow room by leaving everything intact and bending the copper tube over and into the res. tank. I'm not sure how exposed copper would react with a nutrient solution, if at all. Any ideas on this?
Anyone willing to post their res. temperatures and the variance? What I'm really curious about is what is the maximum/minimum water temps common among the hydro growers here.
Anyone using
Probe Chillers? How does it perform?
Any comments appreciated.
