Chillers specified for salt and constant heat

What we install

An outdoor-rated cabinet with a titanium heat exchanger, insulated hoses connecting low in the tub wall so nothing crosses the rim, a sealed enclosure with washable pre-filters, and anti-vibration mounts because on these plots the neighbours are close and the nights are quiet.

It runs to a setpoint in cycles and lets the lid do the overnight work, which is what gives a compressor a working life rather than a warranty period.

Sizing for constant load

Warm humid nights mean the unit never gets a rest, so we size a step above temperate figures as standard and then adjust for shade, lid, tub volume and setpoint. A 4 °C tub and a 10 °C tub are different machines, and we quote both when a client is undecided.

We also give you the monthly running cost before you commit, calculated on the PUC tariff. It is not a small number and pretending otherwise damages the relationship in month two.

Service in island blocks

Mahé on a quarterly cycle. Praslin, La Digue and the outer islands in scheduled blocks so several properties share the crossing, with a corrosion inspection at every visit and a filter change.

In short

• Titanium heat exchanger and a sealed filtered enclosure everywhere
• Sized a step above temperate figures, then adjusted for shade and lid
• Monthly running cost given with the quote, not afterwards
• Island service blocks so crossings are shared between properties
