Turn the Chiller off by toggling the Power
Switch on the back of the Chiller to the
down “off” position.
Turn the Tub Valve Fittings to the closed
(perpendicular) position (see image).
There are three methods that can be used to drain the
Tub: Option (a) is best used outdoors and options (b) and
(c) are best used for controlled draining of the tub.
a. Disconnect the red “Water In” hose from the Chiller by
rotating the Hose Connection Fitting counterclockwise.
Direct the hose to the desired area for drainage and
open the valve. Water will flow out of the hose until it
reaches the Lower Water Fitting. The remaining water
can be removed by turning the tub over.
b. Disconnect both hoses from the Tub by rotating the
Hose Connection Fittings counterclockwise. The red “Inlet”
hose from the Chiller should be placed inside the tub as
shown (see image). The green “Outlet” hose from the
Chiller should be directed to the desired location for
drainage and the Chiller can be turned back on. The
Chiller will pump water out until the Tub has been
drained down to the end of the water hose. The Tub can
be slightly tipped as the water level gets low to remove
the last bit of water. Be sure to turn off the Chiller
immediately when the Tub has been drained to avoid
damaging the Chiller.
c. Purchase a submersible Sump pump like shown.
Connect your garden hose to the pump and drop the
pump into the water. When you plug the pump in, water
will begin draining. Please visit our help center or reach
out for recommendations on Sump pumps.
Step 1 – Turn the Chiller off
Step 3 – Drain the Tub
Step 2 – Close the Valves
Step 4 – Disconnect the
Hoses
Step 5 – Dry the Tub
Once the Tub is drained, the hoses can be
disconnected from the Tub and Chiller by
rotating the Hose Connection Fittings
counterclockwise, and the Chiller can be
unplugged.
The Tub should now be dried inside and out
(including bottom) with a towel to prevent
mildew from developing. This is also a good
time to clean with mild soap and water if the
Tub has not been cleaned recently.

Step 6 – Deflate the Tub
Step 8 – Pack the Tub
Remove the Inflation Valve Cap with a
counterclockwise turn. Press the Inflation
Valve Pin to allow the air to be released. The
air will release aggressively so don’t be
startled! Remove the remaining air by
attaching the Inflation Hose to the “Deflate”
side of the Double Action Hand Pump. When
deflating the Tub, check to ensure that the
Inflation Valve Pin is in the depressed (out)
position (see image). Connect the Inflation
Hose to the Inflation Valve with a quarter
turn clockwise to attach. Deflate the Tub
using the hand pump until all air has been
removed and remove the inflation hose with
a quarter turn counterclockwise. Replace the
Inflation Valve Cap with a clockwise turn. The
Tub Valve Fittings should be removed by
rotating the Threaded Collar
counterclockwise.
Place the Tub, Cover, Hoses, and Double Action Air
Pump into the backpack. This is best done by
starting with the Tub, then the Tub Cover, then
Double Action Air Pump, and finally the Hoses.
Step 9 – Drain the Chiller
First, remove the Chiller Drain Cap. Then, unscrew and
empty the Lower Water Filter Housing. Then, unscrew
the External Water Strainer. The unit can be tipped
slightly back to remove water inside the Chiller. Once
drained, replace the Chiller Drain Cap and Lower Water
Filter Housing. Finally, replace the protective Chiller
Fitting Caps on the Inlet/Outlet connections.
Step 7 – Fold the Tub
The Tub can now be folded for storage. First fold
the branded “Edge Theory Labs” panel of the Tub
inward, and allow the end sides of the Tub to fold
towards the center. The back side of the Tub can
now be folded over the branded side of the Tub so
that the tub is now flat. Fold the right side of the
Tub towards the center, with the crease being just
towards the center of the right Water Fitting, and
repeat on the left side. You should now have a tri-
folded Tub. Hold the tri-folded Tub with one hand,
and with the other, place the Storage Strap under
the Tub. Fasten the Storage Strap and tighten
(see image).
