I phoned the company that makes my chiller and they told me that most likely the fan in the chiller that keeps it cool stopped working. That caused the chiller to overheat continually and then shut down. When it would cool down, it would start up, overheat and then shut down again.....repeatedly.
My house was closed up over this hot spell and friends told me when they checked the house it was stifling hot. This, combined with my MH lighting caused the tank to heat so quickly
I now have set up an external fan blowing into the chiller and it is working fine again.
I guess it is Murphys law.......... the chiller worked fine for 2 years.... the week I go away is the time the fan decides to seize up.
I hate this Murphy guy.... whoever he is !
