** ** Disclaimer: This is a teaser. If enough people show interest in seing the process, it will be posted. ** **

When is the last time that someone posted something like this in this forum?

What about one that actually works?

Stay tuned for the build progress and pics...

If you really want to see the build, tell me. The more interest I see, the more detail I will go into.

Pics promised in about a week!

How about an overview of what kinda of chiller you are going to DIY, the degree of difficulty to actually build one and the projected cost (just a guess to start) of making this chiller. With out these basic things how could anyone know if they want to see in detail how to make one or not..

I do but thats just cuz I am weird that way :mrgreen:

I doubt you will need to cool your water here in Victoria after October :razz:. I'm interested.

It is planned to be running at the latest by Sept 10

Using some salvaged parts, estimated cost - $250 including modified plumbing

It will be a split system with just a DIY chiller barrel inside and the compressor and condensor outside.

Building the system isn't too hard. Some specialized tools are required to safely charge the system. You may be able to build the system, then have an HVAC tech come to charge the system.
