At Plunge Junkies, we know that ice baths provide incredible health and recovery benefits. However, filling and maintaining a tub full of ice can be tedious and time-consuming. That’s why we offer the Penguin Chillers Cold Therapy Chiller & Tub—an easy way to get the benefits of cold immersion therapy at home.
Chiller Provides Consistent, Low Temperatures
The heart of the system is the powerful 3/4HP chiller, which circulates and cools the water, providing consistent temperatures even down to high 30°F with the right conditions. The chiller runs quietly at just 56 decibels – quieter than an average conversation.
The chiller works by efficiently removing heat from the tub and transferring it outside. It turns on automatically whenever the temperature rises above your set point and turns off when the desired temperature is reached again. This allows the system to maintain cold temperatures while using minimal electricity.
Large 100-Gallon Tub Provides Full Body Immersion
The tub itself is made from durable polyethylene plastic and holds 100 gallons of water. It measures 54.5′′ x 31′′ x 32′′ on the exterior and 43.25′′ x 24.5′′ x 30′′ on the interior. This provides enough space for full-body immersion for most users.
The tub features 2 inches of thick polyurethane foam insulation on all sides to minimize heat transfer from the outside environment. This allows the chiller to work efficiently, keeping your water cold, even in hot conditions or direct sunlight.
Quick Connect Hose and Removable Filter
The chiller connects to the tub through a supplied quick-connect hose, making set up and take down a breeze.
Water circulates through a removable filter canister housing a reusable 150-micron filter. This traps particulates and keeps your water clear. The filter is easily removed for rinsing when needed.
Convenient and Affordable to Run
The system runs on a standard 110V outlet and uses an energy-efficient 450 Watts while running. This results in estimated monthly electricity costs between $15-$25.
The chiller and tub are designed to be left running continuously for maximum convenience and lowest maintenance. The cold water inhibits bacteria growth, so you’ll need to change the water far less often than a normal tub.
Reliable and Made in USA
The chiller is rainproof, so you can leave it outside year-round. It carries a free 1-year warranty and is proudly made in the USA.
Benefits of Cold Water Immersion
Why use a cold tub in the first place? Immersing your body in cold water provides a wide range of health and recovery benefits:
- Faster Workout Recovery: Cold water immersion constricts blood vessels and decreases inflammation, helping flush waste products from exercise and reduce muscle soreness. Even just 5-10 minutes in cold water can aid workout recovery.
- Improved Circulation: The cold causes blood vessels to constrict then dilate, improving circulation throughout your body. This brings oxygen and nutrients to tissues and may help reduce blood pressure over time.
- Calorie Burn: Your body has to work to heat itself back up after being in cold water. This causes an increase in metabolism which burns extra calories.
- Better Sleep: Cold exposure before bed can help lower body temperature and induce better sleep.
- Stress Reduction: Initial cold exposure triggers a shock response, but can ultimately have anti-anxiety and stress-reducing benefits. Cold stimulates the vagus nerve which controls the parasympathetic nervous system.
- Boosted Immunity: Frequent cold exposure may help boost levels of certain white blood cells and antibodies. It also increases metabolic rate and blood circulation which helps fight sickness.
- Improved Mood: The cold triggers the release of feel-good endorphins as well as the neurotransmitter norepinephrine which can boost mood.
- Skin & Hair Benefits: The cold constriction and dilatation increases blood flow to the skin and scalp. This nourishes hair follicles and skin, increasing shine and radiance.

Information
SPECIAL USE INSTRUCTIONS:
- When the ambient temperature will be 32°F or below, customers should turn the chiller off and drain it prior to freezing temps. If water freezes inside the chiller, it will break.
- Customers should not set the temperature below 37°F. Water at the cooling coils will be colder than the set point. Setting the temperature below 37°F has the potential of forming ice inside the chiller.
- Customers should not use a timer. The chillers are designed for having the temperature set and then being left to adjust. It is completely okay for them to change the set temperature if the chiller has multiple users.
- Customers should check their filter weekly. A dirty filter will cause back pressure on the chiller, causing damage to it. Plan to change the filter every 2-3 weeks. Some people may need to change their filter weekly based on the cleanliness of the water (usually the result of not keeping water cold and not using a water stabilizer).

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. Let’s face it – keeping up with the amount of ice needed to keep an 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 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 this setup even in full sun / less than ideal conditions.
COST TO RUN (LOWER THAN EXPECTED):
At $0.12/KWh the monthly cost of operation should be around $15-$25/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 –
- 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).
- 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 $1-$3/month. However, you will have to change water and the filter more often, so it is unlikely to be a net cost savings.
- 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.
