WARNING
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of
aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs by yourself. Return
the appliance to your retailer or discard the appliance.
• If the appliance falls into the water, or water drips onto the unit, DON’T reach for it! First
unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the
appliance immediately.
• Always unplug appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug fully
and pull out to disconnect.
• Carefully examine the appliance after replacement. It should not be plugged in if there is
water on parts not intended to be wet.
• Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or
has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
• Do not use the Prime Tower Chiller for anything other then its intended use. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by Current USA may cause unsafe conditions.
• Exposing chiller/power cords to water may cause electrical short and fire.
• Do not allow water or salt to come in contact with thermostat or power cords.
• Do not operate chiller without water flow to the unit. This may cause the evaporator housing
to freeze up and result in damage to the unit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
To comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), and to provide additional protection from the
risk of shock, this unit MUST be connected to a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet at all times.

1. Before removing your Prime Chiller from the box, please note any exterior shipping damage
to the box. It is strongly recommended to keep the box and packaging material in the
unlikely event there is shipping damage or service is required.
2. Remove the chiller and controller from the box and inspect thoroughly for any signs of
damage, even if the box does not show damage. If you notice any damage (cracked or bent
cover, damaged condenser, fins, etc...) please stop and contact your dealer immediately.
3. Make sure the chiller is placed on a firm, level surface in a location that has plenty of ventilation
and will not be exposed to salt or saltwater. Do not use an extension cord for the chiller or
the thermostat.
The requirements for ventilation are:
a) Back/Front: Condenser (radiator) requires at least 18” clearance to allow air into the chiller.
b) Sides: Requires at least 6” clearance to allow for proper air flow.
c) Chiller must not be placed in a closed closet or cabinet. If placing chiller under a cabinet, the
cabinet MUST have a back opening at least 30" wide x 30" high for adequate ventilation.
d) The warm air from the chiller must be completely evacuated from the chiller location. A fan
may be necessary to draw warm air away from the chiller. The maximum operating temperature
is 95 F.
Installation:
4. The chiller includes both ¾" and 5/8" hose barb fittings. Insert desired hose connector into
compression cap.
5. Place barb fitting onto inlet or outlet and tighten compression cap. Ensure that the gasket
fits snug between the barb fitting and chiller.
6. Slide hose clamps onto hose. Attach hose to inlet/outlet barb fitting and tighten hose
clamp.
7. Before turning on chiller, ensure the following:
a) The chiller must have adequate water flow for proper operation.
Model HP Min/Max Flow
2645 ¼ 5-10 gpm
2646 1/3 6-12 gpm
b) Make sure the pump will operate normally without any blockage.
c) Make sure the chiller is plugged into a GFCI protected 110V power outlet.
7. Turn on water pump and check for leaks. IMPORTANT: Do Not Run Chiller without water
flow. Doing so may damage evaporator.
8. Set the temperature controller to the desired temperature as instructed in Programming
