Help regarding Hailea Hs28A

Im sorry bro, whats the brand of th probe. Cant seems to find the blog already.

Last weekend, i had my chiller kicking in for 1 hour to reduce 1 degree before i had to manually off the power of the chiller a few times.
Temperature reading on chiller shows that it went from 24.1 -> 24.0 -> 24.1 on and off. It happened quite a few times over the weekends. Im still awaiting for the agent to get back to me to come check my chiller before i do any modifications.

However after what happened over the weekends, my chiller has been kicking in every 10 other minutes.
All the agent said over the phone when i dialed him up was that i had to use a 1200L/h - 1500L/H flowrate for the above mentioned chiller.

I managed to purchase the external thermoprobe. Its black in color like the one shown in bro Gryphon's thread http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...shrimp-journal

Ive went to find the identical connector from SLT. After quite awhile to connect the thermoprobe to the connector, i connect it to the other end of the attachment of the display screen of chiller.

And got a P 1 reading on the display screen. Any bro can advise on it?

Bro your PM is full.
Maybe it is the wrong polarity. Did you connect the wire with white words to the red wire and the other plain black wire to the black wire?

[Jianyuan]

Thanks to all the bro that I've troubled to help me solve this issue! Many thanks!!

[blurless]

So it is really due to wrong polarity?

[Jianyuan]

Nope. Made a mistake and connected wrongly. See wrong things.

Hi Jianyuan,

Can I check are you still running your HS-28A with Eheim 2224? Roughly what is the kick in/out timing now?

[Jianyuan]

Its kicking in about 16 mins and kick out roughly 56 mins. That is with external thermoprobe.

Thanks for reply... will take note as I'm abt to setup my 2ft tank... :-)

Seem like with a external thermoprobe, hailea chiller is giving arctica chiller a good run.. =(
I bought my arctica chiller without doing some research here. I using it for a 2x1x1.5ft tank, its kick in around 10mins and kick out roughly 25min. The timing kind of short compared to bro Jianyuan your chiller.

Cant really comment much since this is the first set of chiller that i own. From what I've gathered from the internet, hailea chiller's thermostat aren't really built for lasting. Prior to that i had an even shorter kick out timing compared to yours.

Thank bro Jianyuan for your reply. Guess could be other factors causing my tank temperature to raise up faster. Therefore the kick out time is so short.

[Jianyuan]

Temperature of surroundings, tank thickness, the heat generated by your equipments play a part too. Remember to keep your chiller in a well ventilated area.

Thank bro jianyuan for the advise. I just got some tube and sheet of superlon, i plan to wrap the plastic hoses, the back and side of the tank. ^.^

[Jianyuan]

That will be nice. Good luck bro.

[Jianyuan]

Any bro got any idea if its possible to extend the length of the external thermostat? Im intending to hook up the chiller to another tank and canister which is higher then what the external thermostat can reach.
