Chillers

[willist0]

I need advice on which brand of chiller to buy, my JBJ just bit the dust and I need to replace it quick. I know which hp I need I'd just like opinions on which brand. Thanks

JBJ or Aqualogic are probably the best but they are also the most expensive. JBJ typically last 5+ years if they are maintained properly and JBJ is pretty good about repairing them once out of warranty for a nominal fee. I have also had Aqualogic that worked great for years but it needed an external controller (Ranco or you could use RKL, Neptune) and was really ugly to look at.
I am currently using a Hamilton branded as a Active Aqua from Amazon and it works fine. It was the cheapest I could find next to the Sunlight Supply brand also sold on Amazon but that one had too many bad reviews IMO. The issue with it is that the temp sensor is not accurate. Out of the box it was off by 2 degrees so I had to manually set the temp.
