Current USA Prime Chillers—Nano, Mini, Drop-In, Inline & Tower |
Current USA's Prime Aquarium Chiller is the world’s first to offer a heater and ultraviolet sterilizer as modular upgrades. The Prime ships standard with the water chiller feature and ports for both ultraviolet sterilizer and heater upgrades. Integrate the elements you need and leave out the ones you don’t, for a single system that will help stabilize things, both in and around your tank.
Current USA developed the Prime Chiller to address two of the most popular concerns for home aquarists, stress management for tank inhabitants and preserving space in and around the aquarium. The result was an integrated water chiller that incorporates the ability for aquarists to upgrade at their pace. Users can choose to go the full distance or upgrade as their budget allows. Either option ensures stress relief while preserving precious space.
- Highest BTU rating in the industry.
- Removes clutter. Integrated design.
- Ultra-quiet motor.
- Fan cooled for maximum efficiency and life.
- All units include ABS cover & digital temperature controller.

| Note: Accessories such as metal halide lighting, submersible pumps, etc, can add a great deal of heat not considered in the above chart. Ambient room temperature will also affect the effectiveness of the chiller. Decrease volume by 25%–40% to determine the horsepower needed to chill that amount of water. |
