The Penguin Chillers 2 ½ HP Water Chiller delivers powerful cooling performance with a 25,000 BTU/hr capacity and a titanium heat exchanger designed for long-term safety. Unlike copper heat exchangers, titanium prevents harmful copper buildup, making this chiller reef tank safe and ideal for aquariums, hydroponics, and other closed-loop water systems.

Built with durability and performance in mind, this unit is engineered for reliability but is not intended for outdoor use. For best results, install it in an area that can withstand moisture and condensation.
