Question: 

 

The temperature on my chiller display goes up really quickly, what is happening?

 

Answer: 

 

If the temperature on the display rises quickly after the cooler has reached its set point there are a few things to check.

  • Make sure the pump supplying water to the chiller is working correctly and that the water flow is sufficient.
  • The water bath or internal pipework may have started to partially block restricting flow through the chiller. Click here for information on chiller mainteance.
  • Check that there are no heat souces warming up the aquarium, e.g. heater positioned near the inlet of the chiller or heater staying on.
