Know What You're Buying
Full specifications, what's in the box, and everything you need to plan your install.
24,000 BTU/hr on a 304 stainless frame, outdoor rated and pad mount ready — the chiller for a recovery studio or a multi-tub plunge install.
Penguin Chillers has been building water chilling equipment in Knoxville, Tennessee since long before cold plunging went mainstream. This is their commercial platform: built to run continuously, sit outside on a pad, and keep several tubs at temperature rather than one.
Choosing your heat exchanger
- PVC shell with titanium coil — highly corrosion resistant and safe in treated plunge water. This is the right choice for almost every cold therapy install. Rated to 10 PSI.
- 316 stainless shell and coil — for higher pressure systems, rated to 50 PSI.
Penguin also offers a copper coil option on this unit. We do not list it, because copper is not appropriate for the chemically treated water a cold plunge runs.
This is a commercial installation
- Requires 208–240V single phase at 17.7A. An electrician needs to run the service before delivery.
- Pad mount ready — needs a stable, level pad with clear airflow around the unit.
- 1.5 in. slip connections. A circulation pump is not included; Penguin recommends a Danner Magnetic Drive at 2,400–3,600 GPH. Our Water Chiller Accessory Package covers both of those pump sizes.
- Requires continuous water flow. A built-in flow switch shuts the chiller down if the pump fails.

Returns: This item can be returned within 21 days of delivery with prior authorization.
