Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) Can my chiller be installed and used outside?
Yes, our cold therapy chillers are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, except in freezing conditions. Commercial chillers are also designed for outdoor use, regardless of weather conditions.
2) Can I use a standard water chiller for cold therapy?
While it may seem suitable, standard water chillers aren't designed for outdoor use or the specific demands of cold therapy. For optimal durability and effectiveness, we recommend using our Cold Therapy Chiller, which features a built-in pump for proper water circulation.
3) How do I prevent damage to my chiller?
-
Regular Filter Cleaning: Clean the filter weekly to maintain water flow.
-
Maintain Proper Water Levels: Ensure the chiller has the recommended water level for optimal performance.
-
Avoid Running the Chiller Dry: Running the chiller with insufficient water can cause internal damage.
4) How often should I clean the chiller filter?
Check and clean your Penguin Chiller filters at least once a week. Proper cleaning prevents debris buildup, which can restrict water flow and cause freezing issues.
5) Does the chiller have a built-in pump?
The Cold Therapy Chiller is the only model that includes a built-in pump. For other models, a separate pump is needed.
6) What size pump should I use?
We recommend pumps between 500 gph and 1,800 gph for optimal cold therapy. For specific applications, such as glycol or commercial water chillers, Penguin Chillers offers pump recommendations to ensure proper performance.
7) What is the lowest temperature my chiller can reach?
The chiller can maintain temperatures down to 37°F, with optimal performance at 36°F, depending on water volume and ambient conditions.
8) Do Penguin Chillers have built-in tanks?
No, our chillers do not have built-in tanks. Their internal piping holds less than half a gallon of water.
9) How loud are Penguin Chillers?
Penguin Chillers are designed for quiet operation, operating at 65 dBA or lower.
10) Does my chiller need ventilation?
Yes, for efficient performance, chillers require proper ventilation to dissipate heat. Avoid placing them in confined spaces without airflow.
With the Penguin Chillers Barrel Chiller Cold Therapy Package, you get a convenient, reliable, and efficient solution to enhance your cold therapy experience—no ice required!
