It needs a pump to move water between the chiller and your plunge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch6\u003eReturns and delivery\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChange-of-mind returns accepted within \u003cstrong\u003e21 days of dispatch\u003c\/strong\u003e, subject to a \u003cstrong\u003e20% restocking fee\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is what Penguin Chillers charge us.
