With its threaded probe, nylon nut, and silicon washer, the IceProbe can be readily installed through a 1.25 inch hole into siphon overflows, prefilters, sumps, aquariums, or virtually any type of water reservoir.

Provided that the probe is fully submerged in water and air can freely circulate around the IceProbe’s fins and fan, it can be installed through a top, side, or bottom wall.

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. Alternatively, a simple bracket or lid can be used to suspend the Aquarium Chiller for top mounting in glass aquariums.

Before installing the Aquarium Chiller, it is important to ensure that there is adequate clearance for the probe and ample space for air circulation around the fins and fan.

To achieve the best possible watertight seal, the silicon washer should be installed on the dry side of the wall as shown in the diagram to the right.

In larger aquariums (20 to 55 gallons), two or more Aquarium Chillers may be needed to achieve the desired temperature differential. If possible, install your first IceProbe so that additional units can be added if more cooling is required.
