    Anyone know of a reputable chiller company who manufactures in the united states? I'm in the market for one before the summer heat sets in.

    Thanks!

    I can vouch for Tradewinds as well. Hal is very friendly and is always willing to help. He knows his product well. I have a 1/5 hp drop in, works great.

    We've never used a Tradewinds, but I can tell you that one of our six chillers is an old Aqua Logic 1/5 hp drop-in that even tho it's over a decade old, still works fine, and chills a tank perfectly. It's a bit noisy, but it's running in an equipment shed outside the house.
