Description

Chiller includes:

  1. 3/4HP Cold Therapy Chiller with built in pump – outdoor rated!
  2. 2qty quick connect fittings to mate with fittings on the back of the chiller, fittings have 3/4″ barbs for connecting 3/4″ ID tubing to the chiller (tubing sold separately) 

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.  Lets face it – keeping up with the amount of ice needed to keep a ice bath cold can get to be quite the burden.  Our chiller will keep your ice bath cold effortlessly, this should lead to more consistent and frequent usage.    Make the most out of your ice bath by turning it into an iceless bath!

The chiller can reach into the low 40F’s, even down into high 30F’s with the right conditions.  Ambient temps and sun exposure account for the majority 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 40F’s should be possible on an most +/-100 gallons setup even in full sun / less than ideal conditions.

Cost to Run (lower than most expect):

At $0.12/KWh the monthly cost of operation should be around $18-$28/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’s a few reasons for this –

  1. Cold water keeps bacteria (slimy walls) largely under control by slowing or stopping their growth.  This significantly reduces the amount of maintenance needed to keep your water clean for longer periods of time.   This means less frequent water changes and that much lower levels of sanitizer being an effective doses (chlorine/hydrogen peroxide/etc).
  2. If you are using it on a regular basis 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 is normally cost $18-$28/month you might be able to save $3-$5/month. However have to change water and the filter more often so it is unlikely to be a net cost savings.
  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 is just adding unnecessary wear and tear to the pump.

Optional Install kit includes:

  1. Attached filter canister with 150 micron washable / reusable filter.  3/4″ barbed connections
  2. 20 mesh pre-filter (protects pump/chiller) with 3/4″ barb connections
  3. 3/4″ ID Black vinyl tubing –  2qty – 6′ lengths
  4. 2qty bulkheads – require 1″ hole through the wall of your tank
  5. Barb fittings to fit the bulkheads and connect the 3/4″
  6. 8qty hose clamps

 

*Please note your setup needs to gravity prime to the pump, the pump is not capable of self priming/suction.   Place the chiller within 3′ of the drain of your tub, the bottom of the chiller should be at the same or lower height compared to the bottom of your tub – do not elevate the chiller above the tub.  An overly long tubing run from the tub drain to the chiller inlet may cause the pump to fail to move enough water.

Hydroponics

I own a hydroponic system and have tried numerous chillers. My Penguin Chiller keeps the water temperature at 67 degrees constantly. This is the best Chiller I’ve ever owned.

Barrel Chiller Package

I had the Ice Barrel Chiller for over a year and I’d recommend it to anyone. I live in Austin TX where the summers are consistently in the 90s and I was able to keep the water temp around 48 degrees by preference. During the cooler mornings it could drop even lower but in the evenings the water would get to the low 50s. Eventually I made my own barrel wrap (after discussing it on YouTube) to hold the water temp lower and it worked extremely well. Consistent 48 all day long and I could even get it to hold at 45 or 42, but my wife and son don’t enjoy it that cold. I see Penguin has their own barrel wrap and I’m tempted to try it after my own version wears out. Also, right before a year of ownership my unit started to short before the chiller engaged. It literally took an email and a ONE WEEK to get the unit FedEx’d, fixed, and returned. The service was amazing and I know this would not have happened if I bought one of those other chillers not made in the USA. The penguin might be a little bit more expensive than some of the alternatives, but at least it will never become a boat anchor or dead weight. Buy with confidence and thank you for keeping my unit working in top notch shape!

Bait Shop

I got my 1hp chiller up and running, set at the bait man’s recommended 52 degrees. Minnow fatalities went from 50-60 per day to maybe 1or 2. I am amazed at the quietness of operation and ease of installation. This has been one of my smarter infrastructure buys. Thanks for your help and patience with my questions. You have a great product and more folks need to be made aware how simple they are to get chilling. My bait wholesaler has asked me if I mind if he tells other bait retailers about the unit and the success I have had with it. I told him no problem.

We are using a 1 HP Penguin Chiller to chill water on a BIG industrial printing press. It’s working great so far! Herald Printing and Graphics www.heraldpg.com

Water Chiller

I had a chiller go out on my 50 gallon Sea Water vision tank so I called Penguin Chillers Customer Support. After talking with them I knew this was the company to do business with. I replaced my broken chiller with their 1/2 HP Water Chiller. It was a bit larger because of the case it’s in and inlet outlet orientation so I just added a 2×4 frame where the doors go and reattached them. Its perfect and it has been running flawlessly for over a year now and was half the price of a replacement chiller from Sea Water.
