Whether you are new to cold therapy or a seasoned pro, you are likely doing it for the benefits that exposure to cold offers rather than the physical workout you’ll get from lugging all the ice needed to keep up with it. Let’s face it – keeping up with the amount of ice needed to keep an ice bath cold can get to be quite the burden.  Our chiller will effortlessly keep your ice bath cold, leading to more consistent and frequent usage. Make the most out of your ice bath by turning it into an iceless bath!

The chiller can bring your water down to 40F – 44F and down to 36F – 39F with the right conditions.  Ambient temps and sun exposure account for most of the heat load on a cold therapy tub (your body heat is insignificant compared to the sun).  Reducing the external heat load will improve chiller performance.  Low to mid-40s should be possible with about 100 gallons of water, even in full sun or less-than-ideal conditions.

Cost to Run (lower than most expect):

At $0.12/KWh, the monthly cost of operation should be around $15-$25/month.  The compressor and fan only turn on when cooling is needed, once the water reaches your set point, they turn off, and only the low-wattage pump continues to run.

A common question we get revolves around setting the chiller up on a timer. Ideally, you’ll want to keep the water cold at all times. There are a few reasons for this –

1. Cold water helps control bacteria (slimy walls) by slowing their growth.  This reduces the amount of maintenance needed to keep your water clean for longer periods of time.   This means less frequent water changes and lower sanitizer levels can be used.
2. If you are using it regularly, the amount of potential power savings will be fairly insignificant; the heat it would gain in the “off” period still needs to be removed when you turn it back on. So, if running normally costs $18-$28/month, you might be able to save $1-$3/month. However, you will have to change the water and the filter more often, so it is unlikely to save much money.
3. When you cut power to the chiller, you also cut power to the pump.  Pumps get the most wear and tear during startup; that’s when a pump is most likely to fail as well. Cycling the power to the chiller adds unnecessary wear and tear to the pump.
