Digital Controller
The included digital controller constantly monitors your system’s incoming fluid temperature. Flow is required at all times for accurate temperature readings. When the fluid temperature exceeds the set point, the controller activates the compressor and fan to cool the water. Once the set point is reached, the system automatically shuts down to maintain energy efficiency.

Product FAQs
-
Can my chiller be installed and used outside?
-
Cold Therapy Chillers: Can be used outdoors, except in freezing conditions.
-
Standard Water Chillers: Not intended for outdoor use.
-
Commercial Chillers: Suitable for outdoor use, excluding the all-in-one Commercial Water Chiller.
-
Can I use a Standard Water Chiller for cold therapy?
- We generally advise against using a standard chiller for cold therapy due to durability concerns and the lack of a built-in pump. Cold Therapy Chillers are specifically designed for this application and include an integrated pump for optimal circulation.
-
How do I prevent damage to my chiller?
-
Regular Filter Cleaning: Clean filters weekly to maintain water flow and avoid ice buildup.
-
Maintain Water Levels: Ensure proper water levels to avoid damage to the heat exchanger.
-
Do Penguin Chillers have built-in pumps?
- Except for Cold Therapy Chillers, Penguin Chillers do not include built-in pumps. Customers should choose the pump based on their specific application.
-
How often should I clean the filter?
- Regular cleaning is important to prevent restricted water flow and potential damage to the heat exchanger. Clean filters about once a week.
-
What size pump should I use?
-
Water Chillers: We recommend pumps between 500–1,800 GPH to achieve a minimum flow rate of 250 GPH. Consider your setup's specific needs when choosing a pump.
-
What is the lowest temperature my chiller can reach?
- For water chillers, we recommend not running continuously below 37°F, though it may reach 36°F during testing under specific conditions.
-
Do Penguin Chillers have built-in tanks?
- No, Penguin Chillers do not include built-in tanks. The internal piping holds less than half a gallon of water.
