Ice Barrel Chiller

While ice requires frequent refills, the Ice Barrel Chiller can bring water temperature down to near-freezing levels (around 37–40°F) within a few hours and maintain it automatically. This consistency eliminates the effort and recurring cost of ice, delivering continuous cold therapy without temperature fluctuations.

Yes. The chiller is designed for reliable performance even in high-temperature or humid environments. Its durable, insulated design ensures consistent cooling year-round. For best results, place it on a stable, shaded surface to reduce energy use and maintain peak efficiency.​​

The Ice Barrel Chiller connects seamlessly to Ice Barrel 300, 400, and 500 series models. It can also work with other brands' cold plunge tubs that have a 3/4-inch (standard plumbing size) hose connection. Coming soon will be a kit with specific items to connect.

Most users see the best results when keeping their plunge water between 45°F and 55°F. Athletes often prefer cooler temperatures for faster muscle recovery, while general wellness users choose slightly warmer settings for comfort. The Ice Barrel Chiller’s digital temperature control allows precise adjustment within this range.​

The chiller is built for continuous operation. Its energy-efficient compressor automatically regulates temperature and cycles as needed, minimizing power usage. There’s no need to manually turn it off between sessions unless you’re storing it for an extended period or in freezing outdoor conditions.​​

You can easily set up the Ice Barrel Chiller yourself — no tools or plumbing skills required. It uses quick-connect hoses and an intuitive control panel. Setup takes a few minutes, and the optional Ice Barrel App offers step-by-step guidance and remote control for added convenience.​​

The chiller works safely in both indoor and outdoor environments as long as there’s proper ventilation. Avoid sealed spaces with poor airflow, and ensure drainage for any condensation or overflow. Indoors, it functions quietly enough for gyms or wellness studios.​​

To keep your chiller performing smoothly, clean or replace the filters monthly, flush the water lines when changing water, and use Ice Barrel’s “Stabilize” solution to prevent bacterial growth. For detailed instructions and video guides, check the official Chiller maintenance resources.
