Compatibility 

This package is designed to work with barrel-style cold plunge tubs, including Ice Barrel™ models.

Outdoor Use

The chiller may be used outdoors in non-freezing conditions. If ambient temperatures reach freezing or below, the chiller must be disconnected and fully drained to prevent damage.

Installation & Maintenance

Strong water flow is essential for proper operation. Improper setup, restricted flow, or inadequate maintenance may result in damage and is not covered under warranty. Routine filter cleaning and water maintenance are required for optimal performance. Avoid using external timers. Continuous cold water circulation helps control bacterial growth and reduces long-term maintenance.

Warranty

• Includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Optional 2-year and 3-year extended warranties are available. Warranty coverage requires proper setup and maintenance in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. 
• For Canadian customers, any shipping costs associated with warranty repairs (to and from the manufacturer) are the responsibility of the customer.
• Warranty claims must be submitted directly to Penguin Chillers.
