    Well, I have to estimate but I would say 15 gallons total. Surface area maybe 20x18 inches. I leave my hood up but it is loud. I have hardwood floors and you can hear EVERYTHING. It is annoying and my wife has been patient. My chiller kicks on for five minutes every 1/2 hour. Summertime it is on much more. Thinking of placing in other room and run lines through a wall.

    Thanks for the help!

    I have tired the fans but that only leads to more top off water and then filters for RO/DI yada yada yada.... I would just fire the chiller if you have it, nice insurance to have if the tank temp gets up. This is not a hobby to pinch pennies in. Just my opinion though, and it's probably wrong, heck that is what my wife says all the time.

    Wives, Ha! Well, that is what I bought the chiller for in the first place. I have many years having others service the tank, buying new stock, throwing money away, etc. Now, I would like to make it a hobby. I appreciate the insight.
