Great Cooling Unit, BUT .... (updated) ..GREAT Customer Service
Unit performs well and does the job I bought it to do. Keeps hydroponic water at 69F. using very little electricity as there is no refrigerated chiller involved. Quite is a relative term. When fan is operating it is easily heard. MAJOR issue with me is that I have one question that would have helped me utilize the unit better, but no way ( that I found ) to contact a human to ask them this question :/UPDATE: The company did reach out and contact me via email. They answered my questions on the unit. Above and beyond that... when the ballast went out after about a month of use, they very promptly (in a day) sent me a replacement at no cost. They were quick to address this issue, and performed true customer service that is above and beyond. I will definitely buy from this company in the future.UPDATE TWO : I have bought another larger chiller unit from this company. Also have had another above and beyond customer service experience with this company, as they sent me a new Peltier cooling block for my smaller unit many months after purchase. Timely service. Excellent customer care. I will continue to buy from this company.

Doesn't last long
I purchased this on 6/20 and started using it on 6/24. For the last week, it hasn't been cooling my tank. I cleaned it and the tubing and it started cooling the water down a couple degrees for a day or so and then yesterday (9/20) it burnt up. It only lasted 3 months. And if course support window for this product is closed so I can't even report the issue. Waste of money.

Works great - Puts out some heat.
Used it for a small 16L tank, 80-85º ambient temp and the chiller had no problem keeping the water around 68º. It did however put out quite a bit of heat from the unit itself, just something to keep in mind. Especially if you keep it under your tank in an enclosed area... It's going to get hot, quick.The pump that comes with it is trash. Switch it out ASAP. Not enough to take off a star since you can just use any pump with it but... Just be aware, it lasted me all of a month.

Worked for a month
This product only worked well for a month, but it has started rattling when it kicks on and seems to have trouble keeping up with the cooling after only a month of use. While it worked, it was worth the cost, it was quiet and kept a stable temp, but now I am stuck with a poor system and out the money because return window closed.

Perfect for DWC hydroponics
The pic is a practice run to check operation and verify the are no leaks.Room temp 75°Start water temp 72°Chiller set temp 67° with a 2° differential (to maintain a reservoir temp between 67° - 69°)Reservoir temp was at 67° in 30 minutes.If your goal is to maintain a DWC reservoir temperature lower than thermal equilibrium with room temp, this chiller does the job.First lesson: roots can (and in my case, did) get sucked up in the submerged water pump. This slowed the water flow enough that ice formed in the chiller causing all flow to stop. After thawing, i cleared the roots and then added a porous filter around the water pump. (I used a filter for a pet drinking fountain) It's been working perfectly since.

DO NOT BUY!!! (update)
Bought in July, used for 3 months and I can't seem to contact support so I am writing this review in hopes for a response and to you warn you away from this product. I use it for hydroponics and set the temp to 71F, after some time it will freeze and continue to try to cool, no warning or anything. After a few times it will die. For the price, it is not worth it, it's a POS!!!!!!Update: Seller contacted me and offered a full refund (pending), making this right by me. The unit should have some sort of alarm when flow has stopped flowing due to ice buildup.

Excellent and Reliable
I keep two axolotls in a 20 gallon tank, and two newts in another. I live on the second floor of my building, so as you can guess, the temperature here fluctuates quite a bit with the seasons, which makes it fairly difficult to keep both tanks at appropriate temperatures.I'm currently using this tank chiller to keep my axolotls within a comfortable temperature of around 64 degrees fahrenheit, and it has not failed me once. For its size, value, and effectiveness, I definitely recommend this cooler over tank fans or frozen water bottles.
