Whether you're a novice or a veteran of cold therapy, you're likely drawn to its benefits rather than the hassle of managing heaps of ice. Let's be real - keeping up with the ice demands of an ice bath can become quite burdensome. Our chiller effortlessly maintains the chill in your ice bath, encouraging more regular and consistent use. Maximize your ice bath experience by transforming it into an iceless one!
Capable of reaching temperatures as low as the high 30s to low 40s Fahrenheit, our chiller's performance is influenced mostly by ambient temperatures and sun exposure, not your body heat. Minimizing external heat load enhances its efficiency. Even in less than ideal conditions or full sunlight, most setups of around +/-100 gallons can achieve temperatures in the low to mid 40s Fahrenheit. Our cold therapy chillers are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, except in freezing conditions.
Operating costs are lower than expected, with a monthly cost estimated at $18-$28 when charged at $0.12/KWh. The compressor and fan activate only when cooling is necessary; once the water reaches the desired temperature, they shut off, leaving only the low-wattage pump running.
We often receive inquiries about using timers with the chiller. Ideally, it's best to keep the water consistently cold for several reasons. Firstly, cold water helps control bacteria growth, reducing maintenance needs and extending the cleanliness of the water, thus reducing the frequency of water changes and sanitizer usage. Secondly, any potential energy savings from turning off the chiller are minimal, as the heat gained during the "off" period still needs to be removed upon restarting, resulting in negligible cost savings. Moreover, cycling power to the chiller increases wear and tear on the pump, increasing the likelihood of failure, as pumps experience the most stress during startup.
