    Brother, thank you for this! I ordered everything off your links!
  • @lilncheese588
    When I showed my husband your channel, he really wanted to know how you made yours. Thank you for this.
  • @shinytime
    Thank you so much for this video, I've been asking and looking for someone to explain and provide links! This is perfect!
  • @nathanielbevington6936
    Waiting on an update on this! Would love to see how it's holding up and how to add Ozone.
  • @hitmanjls30
    Pretty sure your chiller will overheat (especially in the summer) without proper ventilation and air flow inside that box. I have 2 vents in my enclosure, the air "inlet" uses an HVAC filter and the "outlet" has a fan that runs continuously to pull air through the enclosure. Also, once you add the venturi, you'll probably notice that the 400gph pump is insufficient. I'm using a 900pgh pump and I still wish I'd gone with the 1200gph one. It moves the water, but doesn't "jet" the water by the time it gets back to the tub. Good start though!
  • @icoll8
    Couple of questions. 1. Are you having any issues with heat from the chiller in the box with no vents? 2. For the hose going from chiller>tank, was there a reason he has that loop of hose above the chiller? I was told the shorter the hose, the better.
  • @johnclements5535
    Hi Daniel just want to verify that all you use to seal the 3/4' barb to 3/4" NPT fittings into the strainers is teflon tape; no orings there? The fittings on the pump come with them, so just wondering. Thanks
  • @danoenco9487
    Thanks! Bought the chiller and put the Amazon items in my cart. Before I pull the trigger, would you recommend different bulkhead fittings since they leaked? Would you change anything else?
  • @trevordowney6425
    Hey Daniel, thanks for the video. I just purchased the same tub from tractor supply and am very interested in doing the same thing or similar as you. The only question I have is temps. What is the coldest temperature you've achieved consistently with the chiller you used here?
  • @sweitzzzz
    The link for the bulk head is to 2 Pack 1/2" Female NPT and 3/4" Male GHT is that right?
  • @michaelnattrass2081
    This was a great video! How is the chiller working? I have an 80-100 gallon plunge. not looking for it to get very cold...40-50 would be fine for me. Wondering if the the chiller is sufficient for that?
  • @cfire153
    I clicked the link for the chiller that you used. It takes me to Wal-Mart's website and according to the specs, it says the temp range is from 68-78 degrees....so how are you able to get this to chill lower than 68?
  • @KevinStilwell-ke3pb
    The pump you have linked shows a 1/2" outlet on top. How do you get from the 1/2" to the 3/4" piping?
  • @josephsteininger5509
    I copied the share link, liked and subbed on all my Chanel’s. Let’s see this explode 99k or Bust
  • @eq2786
    How long does it take it to get down to cold temps? I live in south Florida and this is gonna be outside under an enclosed area.
  • @toddnelson6216
    Can you link exactly what you used please. I ordered everything on your list but the parts are not fitting together. Especially the bulkhead. The 3/4 barb with 3/4 npt attaches to the bulkhead correct?? Mine are not matching and will not thread together and they are 3/4. Also, what size are you using with the pump? 1/2 and 3/4th?. Ive been to the home depot three times trying to match these up. Ive been in the PEX section. Maybe that's where I am going wrong. Thanks for the help
  • @MichaelPoirot
    I'm sure i'm missing it but where does the venturi valve go?
