Bit of a rant

[Blaze]

So I recently moved house and I noticed my tank hasn't been able to chill down to the usual 17degrees and the other day I came home to my chiller making a horrid noise, my tank water sitting at 30degrees and the thermostat completely wrong!!! I opened it up and something has exploded in it.
I don't know how long Sunny had been in 30degrees for but hes now in the fridge happily the poor bugger. This means I have to buy another $300 chiller!!


rageeeee

 

[yellowpebble]

thats terrible, what kind of chiller was it?

I gave one of the babies i raised to a friend and 30 Degrees killed it, so Sunny is very lucky.

He is sooo lucky hes okay
It was a Hailea sigh

It's worth noting that like fridges, you should let your chiller sit for a day or so before you turn it on so it can "settle". I have no idea why.

perhaps you can claim warranty on it?

 

[Blaze]

I got it for half the price of normal ones but when it comes to warranty, they don't do it so it's off to buy another one

Hi blaze
I havent talke to you in ages
Have a look on guppy, they have replacement parts and im sure I saw they have the whole thermo sets for around $40.....
Glad to see you and sunny are still together

I am glad that your axie sunny survived the high temperature, there is a fluid that needs to settle the same as in fridges as mentioned above. I am glad that you posted as I am eagerly awaiting delivery of a hailea chiller, And in my eagerness may not of let the machine sit for 24 hours before turning it on, the coolant needs to settle.,

 

[Blaze]

The chiller would of sat on the truck for more than 24hours so why would it need to settle? The whole thing blew up so it will never work again.

I got the hailea 150 today, it's dead quiet compared to the 130 I had! it's wonderful.

Hey Blaze, I'm glad to hear your new purchase is working out well.
I wanted to just point out that though your chiller was sitting in a truck for 24 hours, it would have probably been moved again when you positioned it back near your tank - right? This is possibly what caused it to go boom
A word of warning to all: let your fridges/chillers sit if you move them!
