Help with move to UK

[Dirkdiggler027]

Long time lurker, appreciate all the posts that helped me build my 3 vessel E-HERMS. My wife and I are moving to the UK this summer for work and since I don't have room for the current rig out there I'm building up a E-biab before we head out in July. The house has 240v UK power plus a 120v US transformer, both 50hz. I'm thinking I'll be ok with a 240v, 4 wire controller (Auber cube) but I'm wondering if a penguin glycol chiller will have problems on a 50hz system. Penguin has told me it is only designed for 60hz US power. Thoughts? Anything else I should be concerned with while getting this ready to move out? Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide.

We lived in the UK and Western Europe for 7 years several years ago. We only had issues with clocks and microwaves. Motors ran fine going from 60 to 50hZ but failed going from 50 to 60hZ.
