Part of the same SaunaShare family. Our story.

Before you buy

Penguin no longer sells this chiller-and-tub combo new. Its cold therapy line now lists the Cold Therapy Chiller, a barrel package, an outdoor 1/2 HP HE chiller and three complete Beyond Cold plunges: Journey (inflatable), Pursuit (acrylic) and Summit (all-in-one).

If you own one, the chiller is the part that matters. Penguin publishes separate manuals for the current and the discontinued Cold Therapy Chiller designs, so match the guide to your unit's label and hose connections. Penguin still sells Cold Therapy replacement filters (a 5-inch cartridge and an inline screen); confirm the fit for your unit.

  • Keep the pump running continuously; Penguin advises against timers.
  • Disconnect and drain the chiller completely before air temperatures reach freezing.
  • Keep the chiller at or below the tub floor and close to the drain so the pump stays primed.

Product information

Historical catalog information. Specifications, included equipment and manufacturer terms can change. Use the current exact-model manual and seller’s listing before planning a purchase or installation.

Experience the healing benefits of cold therapy without the hassle of ice with this tub and chiller combo. Simply set the desired temperature and this chiller does the work, maintaining your bath water between the invigorating temps of high 30s to low 40s °F. It efficiently turns on only when needed to counteract ambient heat from the sun and air. Once reached, your set temp is kept constant with minimal energy use.

The chiller connects to the tub with a supplied quick-connect hose for fast, simple setup and takedown. Water circulates through a removable 150-micron filter canister to trap particulates and keep water crystal clear.

Designed for continuous use, the system runs on a standard 110V outlet and uses an energy-efficient 450 Watts. Expect electricity costs of just $15-$25 per month. Cold temperature does not replace the manufacturer’s cleaning and water-treatment routine.

The durable, rainproof chiller carries a 1-year warranty and is proudly made in the USA for reliability.

Package includes:

  1. 100gal tub 53″ x 31″ x 26″ external / 47″ x 25″ x 26″ internal
  2. Attached 150 micron washable/reusable filter
  3. 3/4 HP Cold Therapy Chiller with built-in pump
  4. Quick connect hoses

The chiller's intelligent use of power keeps operating costs low. Expect around $18-$28 per month in electricity costs for daily use.

We recommend keeping the chiller running continuously for multiple benefits:

  • Follow the exact-model cleaning and water-treatment instructions.
  • Potential savings from powering off are negated by the energy needed to re-chill warmer water.
  • Frequent power cycling wears down the pump.

Some benefits of cold water immersion are:

  • Speeds post-workout recovery by flushing waste and reducing inflammation and soreness. Just 5-10 minutes can make a difference.
  • Improves circulation through vasoconstriction and dilation, which may also help lower blood pressure over time.
  • Burns extra calories as your body works to warm back up.
  • Promotes better sleep when done before bedtime.
  • Provides stress relief and boosts mood through endorphin and norepinephrine release.
  • May help immunity by stimulating white blood cell and antibody production.
  • Enhances skin and hair by increasing blood flow to the scalp and skin.

Stop wasting time managing ice. This all-in-one cold therapy system lets you easily harness the many benefits of cold water immersion. Just plug, set your temp, and plunge in for better health and faster recovery.

Experience the simple, mess-free way to cold therapy.
