Small Chest Freezer for a DWC grow

Sounds damn good.
Some models you can't adjust the temp, so make sure you have that option.
Some of these you have to unplug and let it thaw out a little.
I'd still add you to the cooler club too ! lol

oooo am i in the club now....lol

hehehe

i think some one should try it out, but just how low can you set it?

now how about something like this .....

if its too deep then just add 3 or 4 gallon juggs of water in there & that will take up less gallons of water = less nutes

Keep your food fresh in this Haier 3.5 cu. ft. chest freezer. It holds approximately 105 lbs. of frozen food plus it has adjustable thermostat control and an easy-access defrost drain.

dimensions are in first post

I think NL#5 means the temp settings.
Some you can control, some you can't.
My 12gal cooler is 15" wide x 21" long.
So I'd guesstimate that freezer is about 28 - 30 gallons.
It would be perfect for a RDWC too !
Slap a insulated styrofoam lid, like mines, on there and go for it ! lol
The rez will/should stay hella stable too !

You are using a chest freezer, I do not think you can turn it into a refrigerator just by turning down that knob. That being said....

I have made a chest freezer into a kegerator... a simple plug & play thermometer that plugs into the wall before the outlet of the chest freezer could maintain air temps at a desired level...

This is an interesting concept... I would use the chest freezer as refrigerator to hold your buckets thus keeping your water temps perfectly inline & insuring that the freezer does not flood with water. You can easily plumb PVC by drilling holes through the sides of the chest freezer I did this as a drain for the kegerator. Plumb in connections for your buckets, air etc.

Using a RDWC like Flo said would be ideal your reservoir could sit inside the chest freezer and just adjust temps to desired level via the plug & play thermometer... Cheap water cooler

+REP Weedler, for that info !
Nice bro, real nice.
