Hailea Nutrient Chillers

What Are Hailea Nutrient Chillers?

Hailea Nutrient Chillers are a reliable method of keeping liquids (nutrient reservoirs) at a constant temperature (6C to 30C). They are essential for maintaining nutrient temperatures during hot spells, and in the summer.

Hailea chillers are suited to keeping any liquid containers at a stable temperature. For nutrients, they work by using a pump inside the nutrient reservoir and pumping the nutrient solution over a heat exchange plate inside the chiller.

Monitoring the temperature of your nutrient solution is vitally important. If you're looking for the answer to your cooling issues, choose from the range of Hailea Water Chillers.

Why Do I Need To Keep A Consistent Nutrient Temperature?

If your nutrient solution gets too hot, it can breed algae growth, which could lower crop yield. Hailea nutrient chillers maintain a consistent reservoir temperature. If the root zone creeps up to around 21C, you're running the risk of developing fatal root diseases, like pyritium, which can wipe out your crop and spread from plant to plant.

Protecting your plants with Hailea nutrient chillers is a great idea. This eco-friendly, Freon-free, R134a refrigerating system works to keep your nutrient solution cool. These Hailea nutrients chillers work on a similar principle to a fridge.

Can I Use Hailea Nutrient Chillers In My Hydroponic Garden?

Yes: If you use an active hydroponic system, like DWC, NFT or an ebb and flow system, then a chiller is essential for trouble-free summer growth.

Why Choose Hailea Nutrient Chillers?

Hailea Nutrient Chillers are easy-to-use. The electronic display and digital temperature control provides accurate control. The compact form factor metal cases are housings are stylish, yet contemporary. The anti-corrosive titanium evaporator can be used for fresh water, and salt water.

Water Loses The Capability to Hold Dissolved Oxygen As It Warms

As the temperature rises, water looses its capacity for carrying dissolved oxygen. This means it'll contain less dissolved oxygen for your plant's roots to access. This can slow their growth, and increases the chances of roots getting infected from root rot diseases such as Pythium and Fusarium.

How Do I Use Haliea Nutrient Chillers?

To select the right Chiller for your equipment, find the total capacity in litres of your system (this is normally the size of the reservoir). If the capacity of the chiller exceeds your system's total capacity, the chiller will perform perfectly and be cheaper to run. We recommend buying a larger chiller than you need to achieve your target temps quicker.

Keep chillers outside of the growing space as the unit warms up while cooling the water, if it was inside your space it could heat up the air, increasing ambient temperatures.

We also recommend you install a Barbed Inline Filter to remove particulates from the water and prevent the lines from being clogged.

You should clean your chiller every cycle. You can do this by circulating your normal cleaning solution through the chiller and wiping it down externally. Remember to run clean water through the chiller before you put any plants back into the system.

Hailea chillers are air cooled and have an air filter. We recommend cleaning this filter once a cycle to ensure efficiencies.

Ideally, your chiller would be outside the growing environment, If you must have it inside your garden, leave plenty of space around it for proper air exchange.

Can I Use A Hailea Chiller For Other Liquids?

Home brewers use Hailea chillers for keeping fermenting beer at a stable temperature. The chiller's used to pass chilled water through a neoprene cooling jacket. This is achieved by running a pump inside a bucket of water and passing cooled water through the jacket to control the fermentation temperature.

Aquarium Enthusiasts use Hailea chillers to cool aquariums in warm weather.
