Hey guys and gals,
Not try and high jack the thread, but I wanted to ask dbkick a question. Db, have you ever just used a 5 gal, home depot water cooler? You know those one's you can use for a job site kind of thing? I want to try running two dwc buckets, but I have hot temps as well and don't want to get a chiller. But I am stuck between buying two 5 gal home depot water cooler/buckets vs. 1 igloo cooler and do sometime of an rdwc. The 5 gal's seem more appealing because if I am doing a mult-strain grow, I can handle ppm's and pH easier. Thanks!

Do most pet stores have these electric water cooling stick things?

If you do individual 5 gallon buckets, wrap them up with 3 layers of reflectix from home depot / lowes and use 1L ice bottles once a day. That should drop your temps a good 12 - 16* F. I have used 3 different types of coolers, the reflectix insulates just as well, and even better than my small coleman cooler cloner. I have never used a chiller, how many amps more or less do they run to cool 40 - 50 gallons?

Why the wort coil ?
I just run the res water thru the chiller and it waterfalls back into the res and adds oxygen
