I'm planning a 1200 gph nft system i need to cool the water from 85f to 65f. using a 55usg drum as a resevoir. what size chiller & pump would i need?

I would purchase the one horse power model if it going to be over 100 gallons

Can I use this to chill my 10ft round by 30 inches above ground pool? It hold about 1500 gallons of water.

No. I use it to cool a 125 gallon fish tank to keep it at 68 degrees and it runs about 1/2 of the time. 1500 gallons outside is way too much water.

Yo hydrofarm can I use the 1/2 HP chiller model rated 90-172 gallons on a 50 gallon aquarium to keep water 80 degrees constantly in 100 degree weathe

Yes, just make sure there is adequate air flow/ventilation around the chiller.

Room temperature is about 75 in summer. I have a 150 gallon tank to keep the water at 40-50 degrees which pump would I need. how much electric amonth?

We recommend using the 1HP model if you require temps that low for the water volume you have. A submersible pump rated between 800-1600gph is recommended.
