Hi all, Does anyone know of any instruments that cools down water instead of heating the water? Water heaters are everywhere, but I need a water cooler. Wonder if it actually exists in a tube form like a water heater. Any comments and ideas? Thanks, -James
Jonathan HelmsNovember 20, 2002 at 3:32 am #17992There are water coolers called chillers but they are not tubes like the heaters. Chillers are used for saltwater tanks to keep the temperature from rising too high during the summer time. They are very expensive, $1,000+ and hook up inline with your filter system.

uniqueturtlesNovember 20, 2002 at 3:44 am #17993Geez, no way I’m paying over $1,000 for a chiller. Anything more economical besides that? There’s got to be some kind of substitute that’s cheaper. Hmmm….never knew a chiller was that expensive. -James — In diamondbackterrapins@y…, “Jonathan Helms”
Julie TougasNovember 20, 2002 at 7:32 am #17994You can place a canister filter in a tub of ice and replace the ice every day? I know people who have done this with their big headed turtles. Julie uniqueturtles wrote:

You might be able to mount this near your tank (pond) and pipe your filter water thru the cooling coils. These things usually have limited thermostats so you could control the temp. to some degree. I suspect these things would be dirt cheap, so if it didn’t work you wouldn’t be out a lot of money. Just a thought. Good luck!
