EXINDA 1.5HP Ice Bath Chiller for Cold Plunge

1.5HP Ice Bath Chiller Specifications

Choose the electrical and compliance configuration for the installation market. The North American and European versions share the same core cooling/heating platform but use different power supplies and published units.

Cooling & Heating Performance

The 1.5HP platform provides both cooling and heating. Published nominal capacity is 12,900 Btu/h cooling and 18,425 Btu/h heating for the North American version, and 3.7 kW cooling / 5.2 kW heating for the European version.

Reference cooling time — North America

Approximately 8 hours, based on 118 gal of water and a 64°F temperature reduction.

Reference cooling time — Europe

Approximately 8 hours, based on 500 L of water and an 18°C temperature reduction.

Selection note: Actual cooling time depends on water volume, starting and target temperatures, ambient conditions, tub insulation, cover use, plumbing configuration and surrounding heat gain.

Cooling, Heating and Water Treatment in One Unit

Correct Installation for Reliable Water Circulation

1. Position the chiller below the water line. Gravity helps feed water into the circulation pump.
2. Connect the water lines correctly. Chiller outlet → tub inlet; tub outlet → chiller inlet.
3. Prime before startup. Manually fill the filtration / water circuit before powering on.
4. Remove trapped air. Keep the inlet hose submerged and free of air gaps or kinks. Repeat filling until water flow is steady.

Important: The built-in circulation pump is not self-priming.

1.5HP Ice Bath Chiller Questions & Answers

How cold can the 1.5HP chiller get?

The North American submittal lists a 37–104°F water outlet range. The current European submittal lists 2–40°C; its feature summary states cooling down to 3°C.

What size cold plunge is suitable?

The published suggested volume is 105–132 gal for the North American version and 400–500 L for the European version.

Can it both cool and heat water?

Yes. Both current submittals identify the 1.5HP platform as hydronic cool and heat.

How long does it take to cool the water?

The published reference is approximately 8 hours under the stated test conditions: 118 gal with a 64°F reduction for the US version, or 500 L with an 18°C reduction for the EU version.

Does it include a circulation pump?

Yes. The pump is integrated, but it is not self-priming and the water circuit must be primed before startup.

Does it include water treatment?

Yes. The submittals list ozone treatment, a 20 μm micro filter and a 40 μm washable filter.

What is the difference between the US and EU versions?

The main published differences are model suffix, power supply, regional compliance references and the units used for performance data.
