Cheap chiller

  1. Just bought 2 -$59 form fridges at Walmart. One for beer, one to use as a chiller for my reservoir. Drill 2 holes in the side for your tubing and your good.

  2. I would like to know more details about this. Do you have pictures, and how much temperature drop did you get?
     
  3. Sorry I didn't see this earlier. It didn't work. Have too many things working against me; uninsulated reservoir, uninsulated garage, not enough cooling capacity from the 2 cu ft fridge. So I broke down and bought a chiller. I had to do it because I've been fighting reservoir temps in the high 70's and now its starting to affect my plants. Maybe look into using peltier chips with a cpu heatsink and fan. Bunch of videos on YouTube on how to make them.
