Universal Chiller Plumbing Kit

No. The Universal Chiller Plumbing Kit is designed specifically for tubs without ports. The hoses go over the side of the tub, the submersible pump sits inside the water, and nothing is drilled, glued, or permanently installed.

Any chiller with 3/4 inch NPT inlet and outlet ports, which covers all Plunge Crafters chillers and most cold plunge chillers on the market. The included camlock fittings thread directly onto the chiller's ports. Check your chiller's spec sheet if you are unsure of your port size. Make sure the chiller you are using has a DC pump power plug to power the water pump. If it doesn't you will need a water pump power adapter.

Any tub that holds water: stock tanks, chest style coolers, barrel plunges, inflatable tubs, bathtubs, and pre-built plunges that shipped without plumbing ports. If water can cover the pump and the hoses can reach over the wall, it works.

The DIY Cold Plunge Quick Connect Kit is built for tubs that have ports or where you plan to install bulkhead fittings. The Universal Chiller Plumbing Kit is for tubs with no ports where you do not want to drill. If your tub already has 3/4 inch ports, the Quick Connect Kit is the cleaner install. If it does not, this is your kit.

No. Every hose in the kit is steel reinforced, which holds the hose open at the bend over your tub wall. Standard vinyl or foam hoses collapse at that bend and restrict flow to your chiller. These will not.

Uninsulated lines pick up heat from the ambient air between your tub and chiller, which forces your chiller to run longer and costs you electricity. The closed cell insulation on these hoses keeps your chilled water cold on the return trip.

Yes, the kit itself is built for outdoor use. Your chiller's placement rules still apply: check your chiller's manual for ventilation clearance and whether the unit is rated for uncovered outdoor exposure.

Just a water chiller. If your chiller has 3/4 inch NPT inlet and outlet ports, this kit contains every hose, fitting, needed to complete the loop, plus the pump. No trips to the hardware store, no extra adapters, no PVC cutting. Fill your tub, connect the camlocks, plug in, and set your temperature.

The filter on the pump intake stops hair, leaves, and debris from entering the pump and traveling into your chiller's heat exchanger, which is the most common cause of reduced chiller performance. The filter on the return line helps evenly disperse the chilled water more evenly.

The camlock fittings thread onto your chiller's 3/4 inch NPT inlet and outlet ports one time during setup. After that, connecting or disconnecting the hoses is a matter of flipping the cam levers. No wrenches, no thread tape, no re-sealing every time you move your chiller.

The pump sits fully submerged in your tub, ideally near the bottom on the opposite end from the return line for the best circulation. It plugs into a standard outlet. Always use a GFCI protected outlet for any pump or chiller near water.

Yes. The InlineO3 Ozone Injector works great with this plumbing kit. Simply replace the return line mesh filter hose end with the quick connect fitting that comes with the InlineO3 Ozone Injector.
