The Penguin Chillers 1 HP High Efficiency (HE) Water Chiller delivers 11,500 BTU/hr of cooling power while consuming the same amount of energy as the standard 1 HP model. Its larger titanium coil provides more contact surface area and efficiency, making it ideal for aquariums, hydroponics, and other water-cooled systems.

The titanium heat exchanger prevents copper exposure, ensuring safe long-term use in reef tanks and sensitive environments.

⚠️ Note: This unit is part of Penguin’s standard water chiller line, which is not intended for outdoor use. Always place indoors in an area that can handle moisture and condensation.
