Know What You're Buying
Full specifications, what's in the box, and everything you need to plan your install.
10,000 BTU/hr — double the base unit, and still on a standard 120V outlet. This is the size most people land on for a larger or multi-person plunge.
Penguin Chillers has been building water chilling equipment in Knoxville, Tennessee since long before cold plunging went mainstream. The 1 HP is the workhorse of the range: enough capacity to hold a big tub at temperature through summer, with a choice of titanium or 316 stainless exchanger depending on your water.
Read this before you buy — what is not included
- No circulation pump. Penguin recommends a Danner Mag Drive 5.0–18, rated under 10 PSI and 23 ft maximum head. Our Water Chiller Accessory Package bundles a matched pump, tubing and adapters.
- No filter or install kit. For a plug-and-play cold plunge setup, look at the Cold Therapy Chiller with the Install & Filter Kit instead.
- Indoor use only. Not outdoor rated.
Warranty
1 year limited manufacturer warranty is included as standard. A 2 or 3 year extension can be added above. Claims are handled directly by Penguin Chillers: (865) 214-6509 or support@penguinchillers.com.
Not covered: normal wear and tear, damage caused by freezing, running the unit without continuous water flow, improper installation, and any failure to follow the manufacturer's installation, use or care instructions.
Delivery
- Ships direct from Penguin Chillers in Knoxville, Tennessee, with a 2–3 business day lead time before it leaves the factory.
- Delivered at 58–64 lb depending on exchanger — a two-person lift, but no special equipment needed.
- Inspect before you sign. If the packaging looks damaged you can still accept it — photograph it, note the damage on the delivery receipt, and contact us right away.
Installation notes
- Requires continuous water flow while running. A built-in flow switch shuts the chiller down if the pump fails.
- 1 in. Female NPT inlet and outlet.
