Neither figure is published against a stated ambient room temperature, so treat them as a general guide rather than a guarantee for a specific Brisbane summer day — the hotter and more humid the room, the less an evaporative fan can achieve. On genuinely hot days, or where you need a guaranteed setpoint regardless of room conditions, a refrigerant chiller is the more predictable option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing bundles the X-Flow 3001 fan unit with the Cool Control 2.0 digital controller, its waterproof temperature probe, and the mains power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNot included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAqua Medic hasn't published whether the X-Flow needs additional water circulation across the surface beyond your existing return or wavemaker flow to work effectively — if you're not sure your tank has enough surface movement, ask us before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRunning costs and noise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its maximum draw of 4.2 W running continuously, the fan would cost up to roughly $11 a year (at 30c\/kWh) — in practice the Cool Control 2.0 cycles the fan on and off to hold your setpoint, so actual running cost will be lower.

Aqua Medic's 2–4°C evaporative cooling figure isn't published against a stated ambient temperature, so on a very hot, humid day the achievable drop will be smaller than on a mild one. For a guaranteed setpoint regardless of weather, a refrigerant chiller is the safer choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes it work on a freshwater tank?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — the X-Flow 3001 and Cool Control 2.0 are rated for both freshwater and marine systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow is temperature controlled?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cool Control 2.0's waterproof probe sits in the tank and reports temperature to the controller, which switches the fan on and off to hold your chosen setpoint, adjustable in 0.1°C steps between 0°C and 36°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill it run on Australian power?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
