If you don't have room for a dual 5.25" reservoir unit, Koolance now offers a single bay version, the RP-401X2!

Koolance RP-402X2 and RP-452X2 dual bay/reservoir products now include a bleed pipe for installation in the upper reservoir. This eases air filtration if using the right-side tank inlet/outlet. Customers who have already purchased a dual reservoir can request the bleed pipe for free (this offer is good through August). Please click here for details.

ERM-3K3U will be Koolance's most powerful system available, with 9x120mm high-flow fans and a 24V PMP-450S pump.

Aluminum or copper core models are offered, both featuring new electronics and a VFD dot matrix display.
