  • Hailea HS Water chiller

    Hailea HS Water chiller

    Hailea HS Series Chilllers Hailea HS Series chillers are aquarium water cooling units that help lower and maintain stable water temperatures useful if your room gets too warm or you’re keeping temperature‑sensitive fish or corals. They’re more powerful than simple fan coolers and are designed specifically for aquarium use rather than general refrigeration.  How They Work Cooling System: A built‑in compressor and refrigerant (environment‑friendly R134a) cool the water. Heat Exchanger: Uses titanium heat exchanger  corrosion‑resistant and suitable for both fresh and saltwater aquariums. Digital Controls: Most models have a digital LCD thermostat to set and monitor your target water temperature. External Circulation Required: You’ll need a separate water pump to circulate aquarium water through the chiller unit  chillers don’t include a pump. Popular Hailea HS Models Hailea HS‑28A Chiller Ideal for small to medium aquariums (≈50–400 L). Cools gradually - e.g., ~160 L from 28 °C to 18 °C with continuous operation. Water circulation recommendation: ~250–1200 L/h. Hailea HS‑52A Chiller Mid‑range model for medium aquariums (~100–600 L). Can cool larger volumes more efficiently with a higher flow rate (600–2200 L/h). Good balance of power and price for serious hobbyists. Hailea HS‑66A Chiller Bigger capacity (≈100–800 L) with stronger cooling and higher flow rates (1000–2500 L/h). A solid choice for larger tanks or more stable temperature maintenance. Hailea HS Chiller Series & Hailea Chiller (generic) Generic listings covering various HS models - sometimes sold under umbrella product names with similar water cooling features.  Typical Uses Tropical freshwater aquariums - prevents overheating during hot weather. Marine and reef tanks - keeps temperature stable for sensitive corals/fish. Breeding tanks - helps maintain precise thermal conditions. Large systems or multi‑tank setups where aquarium lights and room heat raise water temp.  What to Know Before You Buy -Match the chiller to your tank size: Each model has a recommended aquarium volume and required flow rate. -Requires external pump: You must use a pump or filter to push water through the chiller. -Cooling speed: Chill rates are gradual (e.g., 20 h to drop ~10 °C on test volumes) and depend on setup conditions. -Ventilation matters: Chillers generate heat while they cool - ensure good airflow around the unit. -Not for “ice‑bath” cooling: They are designed for aquarium temperature control, not extreme rapid chilling.  Summary The Hailea HS water chillers are dedicated aquarium cooling units that help maintain ideal tank temperatures, especially useful in warm climates or for sensitive species. They’re reliable, reasonably quiet, energy‑efficient, and built with durable components like titanium heat exchangers. Choose the model that matches your tank size and ensure you have a good circulation pump to work with it.

  • Last stock! Hailea HAP -Air Pump Hailea HAP -Air Pump

    Hailea HAP -Air Pump

    Hailea HAP -Air Pump The Hailea HAP series consists of diaphragm air pumps that produce a steady, high volume of air  ideal for increasing dissolved oxygen in water. These are air compressors (not water pumps), and they push air through tubes into air stones, diffusers or manifolds to aerate your tank or pond. Key Characteristics of the HAP Series Strong & Continuous Airflow Different models offer different flow rates, typically measured in litres per minute (L/min): HAP‑60: ~60 L/min - good for medium aquariums and smaller ponds. HAP‑80: ~80 L/min - larger systems. HAP‑100: ~100 L/min - big ponds or multiple diffusers. HAP‑120: ~120 L/min -very strong airflow for large water systems.  These flow rates tell you how much air the pump pushes per minute - more airflow means more oxygen delivered to water. Durable Construction Aluminium alloy casing -strong, helps dissipate heat and extends pump life. Special rubber diaphragms -keep air pressure and output steadier for long service.  Designed for continuous 24/7 use in demanding environments.  Low Noise & Energy Efficiency These pumps have multi‑stage mufflers and damping systems to reduce vibration and noise compared with basic air pumps. They are also relatively energy efficient given their strong airflow output.  Typical noise levels are around 40-45 dB depending on the model  noticeable, but not loud given the output. Typical Uses Hailea HAP pumps are great for: Aquariums -maintaining healthy oxygen levels, especially in crowded or deep tanks. Koi ponds & garden ponds -ensuring water stays oxygenated for fish and plants. Aquaculture systems/fish farms - critical for fish health and growth. Hydroponics & aquaponics - delivering oxygen to plant roots in water. Installation & Tips Place above water level: Always install the pump above the water to prevent water from siphoning back in. Use check valves: These prevent water from entering the pump during shutdowns. Use manifolds or splitters: Allows one pump to serve multiple air stones or diffusers evenly. Summary The Hailea HAP series (like the Hailea HAP‑60 High Performance Air Pump and Hailea HAP120 Air Pump) are professional, diaphragm‑type air pumps made for powerful, continuous aeration. They’re ideal if you need strong oxygen delivery for larger aquariums, koi ponds, aquaculture systems, or hydroponics setups and they’re built to run 24/7 with stable airflow and relatively low noise.
