im trying to get some info on a water chiller that could be used on 4 seperate reservoirs doing a perpetual grow with 20 gal reservoirs.

is this even possible with a single system cause i wouldnt want to mix nutes from the different reservoirs. basically what i would need to do is have a chiller that would run 8 diferent hoses "4 sucking water and 4 returning it" but without mixing the water together. does anything like this exsist or could someone point me in a direction to building something like this myself?

well i know that. more than anything i was wondering if it would be possible to build something like that for cheaper than going and buying 4 but the more i looked into it the more i came to realize i would be better off buying 4 of them instead of trying to rig something like that myself.

you could DIY, but i'd suggest planning it out thoroughly before you test it, water and electricity can be dangerous as you know

yeah thats why i figure just buying 4 would be best unless i came across a do it yourself article or something but i doubt that will happen lol.

Chest freezer filled with glycol, stainless steel lines running through it. You can build a custom chiller to cool as many as you like. It will be a project, but if you're interested, I can help.

well a chest freezer seems like it would be a great idea but the thing is i dont have room for one or the funds to do that right now. i am just trying to get ideas rolling in my head.

There IS a way! MAYBE.......I think.

Ah, but Roseman, don't forget, he will be running multiple stages, needing different nute loads... They will need to be isolated.

Cryptic:

Sounds like maybe its the old 'drop in a frozen bottle of water' for ya, then?

Like with much of hydro, it can be very complicated and expensive, or very cheap and simple. A 4 chamber chiller falls on the first...
