I just finished this kit a few days ago. Everything came together easily. Any hiccups were quickly addressed with an email to Joe, who responded promptly. I was able to do the whole thing for under $2000. I bought the grizzly 450 cooler on sale for $1100, the chiller, a Rocita 1/3 hp from Walmart for $200, and other miscellaneous stuff such as the electric box, three prong outlet for under $100 bucks. All in all, I was able to create a “desert plunge“ style plunge for over $1400 savings. In addition, I feel confident that I can work on it if anything goes wrong. I also built my own side table to cover the chiller since it will be outdoors. I anlso elevated off the ground (for some reason I feel uncomfortable with electric stuff on the ground around water). Keep in mind, I’m not the handiest guy. Thanks Joe!
