Load Tester How to ?

[catkicker]

As I gather the componets for my chiller one of the things that I have figured is that I ought to have a load tester to really do things right. Problem is I have no clue as to how to go about building one. What's the chances of getting a how to build load tester thread going, it would be of great help to me and others who
are getting into this type of cooling. Basically a list of componets, where you can find them and assembly of the load tester.


Thank's

This is a 250W power resistor I found at a electronics supply. Cost was $9. I had to sand the mounting face down with a sander to get good clean metal to interface with the water head.

I also mounted 2 50W power resistors to the top for better load flexibility. But I ran the large loader w/o them also. You just have to modify a AC cord and screw it right on the ends, plug in. Very easy and fast.
