    chiller recommendations?

    My old chiller got hit by lightening yesterday so I have to get a new one. I"m looking at Teco 1/3hp or JBJ 1/3 hp? Any input would be great!!

    Thanks

    Got hit by lightening!?!!!

    Was it outside the house? Did you sustain a lot of damage?

    Re: chiller recommendations?

    the lightning hit and I didn't know where but it had a direct hit on a gfi outlet in my garage and fried a signal booster put there by comcast - the tech said he never saw anything like the damage it had.
    So far I've lost:
    61" hd tv
    dvd/vcr combo
    tuner
    chiller
    home alarm system
    ac unit for the house (already repaired and running)

    The scary thing is I had my arm in the tank when it hit - scared the heebie geebies out of me!! My tank is on it's own breaker & GFI and after the strike was the only thing working!!
    Problem is my chiller was a 1hp that runs off of 220 so no gfi or surge protector for it - the thermostat is the only thing that got zapped but they don't make this chiller anymore and replacement thermostats near me are configured for fresh water so the probes wouldn't last.
    With all the other items lost I"m over my home owners deductible anyways and I have replacement value on all my stuff so if I'm on the hook for the deductible I may as well add a chiller to the list (wonder if I could sneak in a new ballast for my 400 MH????)
