50 ltr res hooked up, unable to chill :(

[Q56_Monster]

I am fairly handy though, i've rebuilt car engines before so this should be just a new learning experience

Then building your own chiller will be a piece of cake. I have plenty of pics of my chiller build to help if you want to go for it. 9k btu will work wonderfully.

Break her open and lets see what you got.

Hi, if you are the radiators attached to the system, look to avoid them. They want to "warm" water.

I did end up cracking open the air con unit and having a play with it, but I think for the time being it is beyond my scope.

i purchased one of these on a good deal instead and have built a small outhouse and housed it outside

cooling seems fine it holds the water at around 12c but I can't seem to get it down to 3c, which is the min the chiller supports, should i consider changing the gas in the chiller ? I can't see a re-gassing valve so I guess I would need to fit one, or are there any other little mods I should be doing to get it to chill down lower ?

so did you abandon the 50L reservoir?

and what pump are you using to drive that chiller?

I played around with reservoirs, 50L, 25L, 13L and a standard ek reservoir and I can't see any difference.

I'm using 2x d5 pumps with the ek dual adaptor to increase head pressure
