The short version

If you are moving a room from air to liquid for the first time, this is the machine to learn on. It is forgiving, cheap to replace, and the loop hardware carries straight over to the XP and XP+ units you will eventually upgrade to.

  • Lowest-risk introduction to hydro deployment
  • Loop hardware carries over to S21 XP / XP+
  • 16.00 W/Th at 335 Th/s
