They r more expensive I paid $300.00 for mine & it's worth every penny bcuz I have a piece of mind.Nutrient solution is 66 degress & I don't have to worry about root rot.The reason they r a bit more expensive is bcuz they r for Hydroponics & not Aquqruims.

No the brand in general is more expensive than the others. Didnt know if there was a reason.

Then it's too small. It should catch up to the load and shut off every once in awhile. If it's a chiller, it can shut off and things don't immediately go off as with AC, it just takes water longer to warm up because it's so much more thermal mass. It's when your chiller unit is shut off but cold water is still working that it's saving you money over AC.

It's not literally running 24/7,I'm running a 17 gal Res & my Nute chiller is rated for a max of 40 gals,so it's perfect for my 4 site RDWC setup.My Nute solution @ the Res is 68.8 degress & the root mass & the ladies r loving it.Its a must your system is matched up.

Technically its the difference in specific heat values (a degree in which the ability to retain heat is measured.) of each item.
