Setup was pretty simple, just two hoses and a pump to install. The manual has a few locations specifying the required amount of space between walls and the chiller that conflict and range between two feet and 12 inches. I gave it less than six inches, and it still works fine.
Sitting in a room with temperature swings between 65 and 90 deg F it keeps a 30 gallon DWC setup within 0.2 degrees of 66 degrees. My plants grow noticeably faster.
The one thing I dislike is being required to run the water pump even when the chiller is not actively chilling the water. I would prefer to shut it off to save power.

The chiller got here quick, two days after order. I was concerned that it had been used, open box. Upon inspection it seems like the manufacturer must test the units.
I'll be using it for cloning & hydro. The 1/10 HP version is almost as large as my cloner and is a serious piece of equipment. I ran a 2-gal reservoir w/210 GPH pump through it 2 for 12 hrs. set @ 69degreese f. It took about 15 minutes of run time to go from 95F to 70f. Came on for about 5 minutes every couple hours when temp hit 72. Kept consistent temp between 69 and 71 effortlessly. It's going to be a sweet addition to my set up. Nice gear from Active Aqua.

This chiller keeps the water temperature at 50 F in a heated room consistently 24/7. With a 10 gal tank it only needs to operate about 1-1/2 minutes out of 15. Set-up was more complicated than it needs to be. Thanks to the reviewer that mentioned the need to raise the cork gaskets in the "in" and "out" fittings to the flat of the screw caps to prevent leaking. Without that knowledge, it was almost a deal breaker. Seems like something so simple that is a problem for so many would warrant a "Read This First" note before attempting assembly. Also selling the complimentary pump for this unit with fittings would be very helpful. Acquiring an appropriate pump and all of the adaptor fittings was quite an ordeal.
My error!

Brought this chiller in March, I needed my saltwater aquarium to operate at 76 degrees. The last few weeks it's been operating at 82 degrees, come to find out in the Florida heat inside my garage it's not able to maintain the normal temp. I recommend if you purchase this item make sure its in a place where the ventilation is good. I have to retract my last review because the chiller was stationed in a room inside my garage with poor ventilation. This was an error on my behalf.
It Works!!!!

I must admit that after reading the low level of reviews, I decided to give this unit a chance even though the price tag was out of this world. I could buy a nice A/C unit for less and that's all it really is, a very small A/C unit with just a different function and way less parts. This unit should sell for 1/2 this price.
Now, having said all of that, I needed something to cool about 16 gallons of water and keep it that way 24/7 and for the life of me, couldn't find a cheaper one than this. So, here I am reviewing a product I expected the worse from and all I got was GREAT service. I bought this about 5-6 weeks ago and just now turned it off. It never missed a beat. It never leaked and, it maintained my "set" temp the entire time which, btw, is easy to set up. It does put off heat just like an A/C unit or Dehumidifier would so be prepared for that. I used a pump that had a high GPM compared to what was recommended for my water volume. Didn't matter. Worked Great! But, 5-6 weeks of good operation does not a good purchase make, especially at $300, so if I have trouble in the future, "I'll Be Back!" to update this review.
As of this writing, I would recommend this unit..... Be sure to place upright for a length of time BEFORE you start up the unit. For me, I waited for hours. Make sure everything is secure also. Imagine what it's been through on the way to your door. PURE HELL!!!!!
