One other question, this unit appears to have five switches.

What are there five for? Also, it looks like the unit ships with a timer or controller of some sort. How does this work?

There is already a chiller connected. It is plumbed through the wall and sits in the garage.

I am going to keep the VHO's.

Are 250s needed with the VHOs? If so, 10K or 20K?
