I've kinda had the same problem as you mandoman. Except I use a shirron, and 5 gallons. I can only crack the ball valve to get the temps I need. I also have the water running pretty slow to try and conserve water. I found that the more water I use the more I can open the valve off of the shirron. Still, not the temps and spped others get. Wonder if there could be a blockage in some of the plate paths?

Ender, right now your ground water is probably just too warm. Others have had good results pumping ice water through the plate chiller using a good sized aquarium pump. That would definately speed up your chilling.
