Water chiller

Water chiller

A water chiller [Birnbaum H, 2007. Homegrown Hydroponics] is a device used in hydroponics to cool the water temperature in the reservoir. In hydroponic application, pumps, lights and ambient heat can warm the reservoir temperatures, leading to plant root and health problems. For ideal plant health, a chiller can be used to lower the water temperature below ambient level; 68°F (20°C) is a good temperature for most plants. This results in healthy root production.
