Anyone running a multi-pot RDWC Waterfarm type system with a commercial chiller? Would a 1/10 hp Active Aqua chiller work by splicing it into the return line to the control reservoir? I'm running a 4 bucket (1/2 an 8 pack) Waterfarm under 6 100w Vero29 V7 cobs. Ambient temps 82-88f .Advise appreciated.

Yes - it would work fine like that. I have a 6 plant under current - 8 gallons/pot. I use a 1/10 HP chiller connected to 3/4" tubing from the output of my return pump - to the chiller - back to the control rez.

You could also go with a smaller HP chiller too. My system is 56 gal and 1/10 was the higher end of what Under Current recommends.
