So we have this new product. Relatively new anyways: Chillers.
They were not around at many hydro stores several years ago but seem to be everywhere now.
They are expensive to say the least.
It is said these guys will prevent bad growth in the hydro reservoir and will keep the solution at the optimal temperature thereby uping the tds of oxygen which in turn also helps nutes absorb and prevent bacterial growth.
Why can I not just add an airstone to accomplish the same result?
Does this mean If I have one of these I would no longer need to use things like hydrogzyme?
And why are we all just now getting this information? Where were these things several years ago?
In other words, though hydroponics as a public hobby is relatively new, why are we just now figuring this out?
I am asking because I already wanna purchase a digital ppm meter.
I dont wanna dump say, $500 or more dollars down on a chiller if their lifespan isnt that long or if I am still gonna have to keep purchasing additives to keep down algae growth etc.
