The Edge Tub Elite is a portable chilling and heating unit designed for recreational water use, such as cold plunges or hot tubs. It circulates, filters, and conditions water to a desired temperature, offering both cooling and heating functionalities. The system is designed for ease of use, portability, and efficient water maintenance.
Function Description:
The Edge Tub Elite serves as a comprehensive water conditioning system. Its primary function is to regulate water temperature, allowing users to experience either cold therapy (chilling) or warm therapy (heating). The main unit, referred to as the Chiller, contains the components responsible for chilling, heating, circulation, and filtration. Water flows from the Edge Tub to the Chiller via flexible hoses, where it is processed and then returned to the tub. The system includes a control panel for manual operation and can also be managed via a smartphone application (Tuya Smart app) for remote control and scheduling. An integrated filtration system helps maintain water cleanliness, while an external water strainer prevents debris from entering the Chiller. The Edge Tub itself is an inflatable structure, designed for portability and easy setup.
Important Technical Specifications (derived from the manual):
- Temperature Control: The Chiller can actively cool ("Cool") or heat ("Heat") water to a user-defined set point. The control panel displays the current tub temperature and the set point.
- Water Flow: The system includes indicators for water flow, measured in liters per minute.
- Power Supply: The Chiller requires a standard 120V grounded power supply with a 15 amp minimum circuit and GFCI functionality.
- Wireless Connectivity: The Tuya Smart app operates on 2.4 GHz wireless networks. Users may need to configure their Wi-Fi router if it primarily uses 5 GHz.
- Hose Connections: The system uses flexible hoses with connection fittings and O-rings for water-tight and air-tight connections between the Chiller and the Tub.
- Inflation/Deflation: The Edge Tub is inflatable and uses a Double Action Air Pump for inflation and deflation. The Inflation Valve Pin is a key component for managing air release during deflation.
- Water Filter Housing: The system includes Upper and Lower Water Filter Housings, which contain filter elements to remove debris.
- Compressor Status: The control panel indicates when the compressor is running.
- Defrost Indicator: The control panel shows when the Chiller is defrosting.
Usage Features:
- Control Panel Operation: The Chiller features a control panel with buttons for power, mode selection (chiller/heat system), setting temperature, activating Wi-Fi, and adjusting temperature up/down. A child lock function is also available.
- App Control (Tuya Smart): Users can download the Tuya Smart app (available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store) to connect to and control the Chiller remotely. The app allows for adding the device, setting temperature, and scheduling operations.
- Setup Instructions: The manual provides detailed steps for unboxing, installing valve fittings, inflating the tub, installing the external water strainer, connecting hoses, filling the tub with water, powering on the Chiller, setting temperature, and performing initial water sanitation.
- Takedown Instructions: Comprehensive steps are provided for turning off the Chiller, closing valves, draining the tub, disconnecting hoses, drying the tub, folding the tub for storage, and draining the Chiller.
- Portability: The inflatable design of the Edge Tub and the manageable size of the Chiller make the system portable, allowing for setup and takedown as needed.
- Safety Features: The manual emphasizes the importance of consulting a medical professional before use, provides warnings regarding drowning, health risks, electrical hazards, and proper setup. It also highlights a warning about chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.
Maintenance Features:
- Weekly Maintenance: A routine is outlined for weekly maintenance, including checking water chemistry (using a test strip), adding sanitizer (Oxidizer and Sanitizer), and checking the external water strainer and water filter.
- Recommended Routine Maintenance:
- Tub Maintenance: Disconnecting the tub from the Chiller, draining water, cleaning the tub with a mild soap/soft sponge, rinsing, allowing hoses to dry, checking for scuffs/marks, checking air pressure, and sanitizing with Sanitizer protocol.
- Chiller Maintenance (Descaling): Disconnecting hoses, closing both ends of the Chiller hoses, filling a 5-gallon bucket with distilled white vinegar (cleaning vinegar) and water, turning on the Chiller in heating mode for 30 minutes to circulate the solution, turning off the Chiller, emptying the bucket, refilling with clean water, and running the Chiller for another 30 minutes. This process should be performed every three months.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes sections for troubleshooting common issues related to water circulation (e.g., clogged filter, air trapped in unit), hose connection leaks, tub deflation, chiller not turning on, water dripping from chiller, and temperature set point issues. It also addresses Wi-Fi connectivity problems and error codes (E1/FU, E2/HH, E3/FU, E4/AA, E5/PA, CH2).
- Parts References: Detailed diagrams and descriptions of all major components, including the Chiller front and back, control panel, chiller drain, protective caps, hoses, hose connection fittings, hose O-rings, chiller inlet/outlet, double action air pump, external water strainer (inner water strainer, strainer O-ring, water strainer cover), inflation valve, valve fitting (elbow, threaded collar), measuring cup, oxidizer, tub, and tub cover (locking buckles). These references aid in understanding and performing maintenance.
- Recommended Accessories: The manual lists accessories such as a protection mat, electric air pump, sump pump, aqua vacuum, garden hose adapter, and breathable tiles, which can enhance the user experience and simplify maintenance.
