EcoPlus® Commercial Grade Water Chiller - 1.5 HP

Commercial-Grade Reservoir Cooling for Demanding Operations, 1.5 HP

The EcoPlus® Commercial Grade Water Chiller delivers professional-level reservoir cooling for demanding hydroponic operations, aquaculture systems, and large-scale aquariums. A commercial-grade titanium heat exchanger paired with a high-efficiency Japanese compressor is engineered for consistent, reliable performance in environments where temperature stability is critical to plant and animal health.

The 1.5 HP model scales this platform's titanium heat exchanger and Japanese compressor to match reservoir volumes and heat loads appropriate for that horsepower rating, giving commercial cultivators a chiller sized to their specific operation rather than a one-size-fits-all unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What refrigerant does this chiller use?

The EcoPlus Commercial Grade Chiller uses R410A, an environmentally responsible refrigerant that delivers high energy efficiency across sustained commercial-duty cycles. It contains no ozone-depleting compounds.

How far away can the remote controller be placed?

The remote temperature controller includes a 30ft cord, letting growers position the display and controls away from the chiller unit itself. This is useful when the chiller is installed in a mechanical room or behind a rack out of easy reach.

What is the 1.5 HP model best suited for?

The 1.5 HP Commercial Grade Chiller is built for reservoir volumes and heat loads matched to that horsepower rating. Match the HP size to your system's total water volume and ambient heat load for consistent temperature control.

What happens if power is lost?

The auto restart and temperature memory functions return the chiller to its previous set-point automatically once power is restored, without requiring the grower to reconfigure settings. This prevents a temperature swing after a brief outage.

What pipe size does this chiller connect to?

The included fittings support 1in hard PVC pipe or 1in flexible tubing, covering both permanent plumbing installs and simpler flexible-hose setups. Both fitting types create a secure, leak-resistant connection when properly installed.
