Chiller guide

What matters in a cold plunge chiller

A chiller can make cold plunging more repeatable by cooling and circulating water without relying on bags of ice. The right unit depends on climate, tub volume, target temperature and maintenance needs.

What to compare

Cooling capacity

Look at the minimum set point together with ambient temperature limits and the volume of water you need to cool.

Filtration and sanitation

A good circulation path, replaceable filter and sanitation method can reduce water care friction.

Noise and placement

The chiller needs airflow and service access. Consider where the fan and pump noise will be heard.
