1 HP High Efficiency Water Chiller, 11,500 BTU

Description

Fifteen percent more cooling than the standard 1 HP, on the same plug.

11,500 BTU/hr against the standard 1 HP's 10,000, from the same 7.2A draw and the same footprint. The extra comes from a larger coil rather than a bigger compressor, which is why the electrical requirement does not move and the cabinet is the same size.

That makes it the better buy at $100 more if the tub is at the top of what a 1 HP handles, or if the plunge lives somewhere warm where the chiller has to work against ambient heat all day.

Key Features

• 11,500 BTU/hr. 15 percent more capacity than the standard 1 HP unit.

Specifications

Before you order

• Power. 7.2A on a standard 110 to 120V socket. It runs continuously, so do not share the circuit with a dryer, an oven or a second chiller.
• No pump in the box. This is the chiller alone. A plunge build also needs a pump and tubing, and Penguin's own accessory pump package is not rated for cold therapy use. Tell us your tub and we will spec the pump before you order rather than after.
• Siting. It exhausts warm air. In a small enclosed room it will fight itself.
• Delivery. Ships free to the contiguous 48 states from Penguin's Tennessee factory.

You will also need a pump

A chiller does not circulate water on its own. It needs a pump to move water between the chiller and your plunge.

We recommend running the pump submersed. Submersed operation keeps the pump primed, runs quieter, and puts no load on the pump inlet. It can also be plumbed in line. If you do, hand-tighten the fitting at the inlet, do not force it, and support the weight of the pipework so it does not bear on the pump body. The inlet is the part most likely to be damaged by an over-tightened or unsupported fitting.
