Keep aquarium water and hydroponic nutrient solutions at a controlled temperature with the Hailea HC-150A Water Chiller. Designed for water systems with a recommended capacity of approximately 150 litres, this compact refrigeration unit provides reliable cooling for aquariums, hydroponic reservoirs and other suitable circulating water systems.

The HC-150A combines a robust metal housing, digital temperature control and a corrosion-resistant titanium heat exchanger. It uses R134a refrigerant and is suitable for freshwater and saltwater applications, making it a versatile cooling solution for aquarium and hydroponic setups.

Digital temperature control

The Hailea HC-150A features an electronic temperature controller with a digital display for monitoring and adjusting water temperature. The display provides readings in 0.1°C increments, helping you keep track of temperature changes in your system.

The chiller can operate at temperatures as low as approximately 4°C, depending on the installation and operating conditions.

Titanium heat exchanger for freshwater and saltwater

The HC-150A incorporates a titanium heat exchanger designed to resist corrosion when used with freshwater or saltwater. This makes it suitable for a range of aquarium applications, including marine systems.

It can also be used to cool hydroponic nutrient reservoirs, helping growers manage solution temperatures.

Designed for systems up to 150 litres

The HC-150A is recommended for water systems with a capacity of approximately 150 litres. Its cooling performance depends on factors such as ambient temperature, starting water temperature, circulation rate, lighting, pumps and other heat sources.

Manufacturer testing indicates that the unit can cool 150 litres of water from 28°C to 16°C over 20 hours under specified test conditions. A larger 300-litre volume reached 22°C under the same stated test conditions. Actual results will vary with the installation.

Installation and operation

The Hailea HC-150A requires an external water pump to circulate water through the chiller. Select a suitable pump capable of delivering a flow rate within the recommended 250–1,200 litres per hour range.

Install the chiller in a well-ventilated location, allowing sufficient space around the unit for heat dissipation. Avoid placing it in an enclosed area where warm air can accumulate, as this can reduce cooling efficiency.

For best results, consider the total water volume, ambient temperature, lighting, pump heat and other equipment that may increase the temperature of your system.

Please note: The 150-litre capacity is a recommended system size rather than a guaranteed cooling result in every environment. If you need to cool a larger aquarium or reservoir, consider a higher-capacity model from the Hailea HC range.
