How to Install and Use the Echelon Advanced Cold Chiller

Quick answer

Install the Echelon Advanced Cold Chiller by connecting it to your cold plunge tub, filling with water, and using the smart control panel to set your preferred temperature and schedule.

Step-by-step installation and use guide

1. Step 1: Position the chiller: Place the Echelon Advanced Cold Chiller on a level, stable surface near your cold plunge tub. Ensure at least 12 inches of clearance on all sides for airflow. Do not block the ventilation grilles. Common mistake: placing the chiller in a tight space can cause overheating. Leave room for air circulation.
2. Step 2: Connect the hoses: Attach the provided inlet and outlet hoses to the chiller and your cold plunge tub. Use the quick-release fittings for a secure connection. Tighten by hand only; do not use tools. Check for kinks in the hoses before securing. A kinked hose reduces water flow and cooling efficiency.
3. Step 3: Fill the system with water: Using a garden hose, fill the cold plunge tub until water begins to circulate through the chiller. The pump must be fully primed before turning on the unit. Common mistake: running the pump dry can damage it. Ensure the tub is filled above the pump intake level.
4. Step 4: Power on and set temperature: Plug the chiller into a dedicated, grounded outlet. Press the power button on the smart control panel. Use the touchscreen to set your desired water temperature (typically 40-50°F for cold therapy). Avoid using an extension cord. If the cord doesn't reach, have an electrician install a closer outlet.
5. Step 5: Schedule your recovery sessions: Connect the chiller to your home Wi-Fi network via the control panel. Use the Echelon app or the panel to set a schedule for when the water should be at your target temperature. The chiller will automatically maintain that temperature. Wi-Fi scheduling helps ensure the water is ready when you are, but the chiller also works without Wi-Fi using manual controls.
6. Step 6: Monitor and maintain: Check the control panel periodically for error codes or maintenance alerts. Clean the quick-release service hatch and inspect hoses for wear every month. Replace the water every 2-4 weeks to keep it clean. The independent leakage protection system will alert you to any leaks. Address alerts promptly to avoid water damage.
