Introduction CoolWorks’ IceProbe Thermoelectric Aquarium Chiller (IPAC-50W) is the ideal cooling solution for small aquariums and insulated bait or specimen tanks. Quiet, reliable and efficient, the chiller uses advanced thermoelectric technology to directly convert electricity into cooling power. With its threaded probe, nylon nut, and silicon washer, the IceProbe can be easily bulkheaded through a 1.25” hole into siphon overflows, prefilters, sumps, or aquarium walls, or suspended from the top of the aquarium.
Bulkhead Installation To achieve a watertight bulkhead installation of the IceProbe: 1. Drill a 1.25-inch diameter hole into your sump/prefilter/aquarium. Note: The hole can be easily drilled through a plastic or acrylic wall using a standard hole saw available at most hardware stores. An experienced glass cutter should be consulted for bulkhead installations in glass aquariums.
IceProbe Power Converter CoolWorks offers two Proportional Temperature Controllers for aquarium applications. Our TEC-65 controller is designed for tropical aquarium environments, with an adjustable temperature range of 65ºF to 85ºF. Our TEC-45 is designed for cold water aquariums with a temperature range of 45ºF to 65ºF.
IceProbe’s fins. The IceProbe’s fan motor is designed to run continuously, even when used in conjunction with CoolWorks temperature controllers. Compressed air, a small vacuum cleaner attachment, or a small soft brush can be used to remove dust and lint from the fan and thereby extending its useful life. If the fan motor is not running at all or very slowly, contact CoolWorks Customer Service.
Diagnostics The CoolWorks IceProbe has a straightforward diagnostic system that makes it easy to determine the cause of performance problems. By observing the status of the LED on the electrical cover and determining if the fan motor is operating, the most common failures can be identified and resolved.
