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 barrel cold can get to be quite the burden.  Our chiller will keep your barrel cold effortlessly, this should lead to more consistent and frequent usage.    Make the most out of your barrel by by going ICELESS!

The chiller can reach into the low 40°F, even down into high 30°F 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 40°F should be possible on a barrel 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 are 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 dose (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, you will 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.

    THIS IS IT! As a breath and cold exposure coach, I am constantly looking for the best affordable options for my clients, gyms, athletes and ice bath superfans…a I’ve seen a lot.
    Most are looking for a way to eliminate changing water constantly, getting ice, and keeping it all clean…The marriage of this system with any ice barrel, steel tub, or feed trough is THE BEST SOLUTION for the money. Filtration and self-chillong magic. Best chiller system on the market. 10/10 LOVE🥶

    This thing is amazing. Water temp in the barrel was sub 40 and it was almost 100 outside that day!

    I have had this for a couple of weeks and love this setup! My fiance can’t stand the cold but she’s now doing it for the benefits.

    I found myself not using the Ice Barrel as much as I would have liked to as it was an inconvenience driving out to the store for ice each time I wanted to jump in. Now, this is an everyday morning routine for me.

    This is a cheaper option when you consider the all-in price comparison to the other plunges in the market. I was considering drilling into the ice barrel and installing a penguin chiller myself until I stumbled upon this option. Great quality and is a true plug-and-play.

    Raelyn at Penguin Chillers was more than helpful and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
