Maintain your Chillers!!! So lately I've been noticing that my chiller has been staying running longer then usual. I figured it was because it was starting to warm up here in Vegas. Wrong!! I took a better look at it and noticed a lot of dust stopping the fan from keeping the chiller running cool, in turn, not cooling the water enough. So I vacumed and blew out all the dust inside. Less then and hour later, it was back to normal.
Lesson learned. I will, from now on, include "chiller maintainence" as part of my weekly maintainence schedual.
