COLD THERAPY WATER CHILLER SETUP
Chillers work on the principle of moving heat from one spot to another. In the case of a
water chiller, its job is to move heat from the water out into the air. This means proper air
flow is critical to the operation of a chiller. If the chiller is located in an overly hot or
unventilated area, it cannot dissipate the heat efficiently therefore lowering the chiller's
ability to cool. Unless properly modified, enclosed spaces like small cabinets or closets
will heat up quickly and won't provide enough ventilation for the chiller to properly do its
job. If the chiller's hot exhausted air is being recirculated back into its intake grills, then
the chillers BTU/hr capacity is greatly reduced. It is recommended to have at least 12” of
open space on all sides of the chiller to allow for proper ventilation.

Connecting Your Chiller
The chiller features 2qty camlock fittings to mate with fittings on the back of the chiller.
The camlock fittings have 3/4″ barbs for connecting 3/4″ ID tubing to the chiller. (Tubing
sold separately if not purchased in one of our packages).
Follow the Inlet/Outlet flow pattern as marked to ensure the chiller functions properly.
Take your tubing with the in-line filter and Banjo Cam Lever, put it over the quick
connect fitting, and pull the levers towards you. Ensure the arrow on the in-line filter is
pointing towards the "Inlet" of the chiller.
- See video for demonstration on how to connect to the chiller.

After you secure the camlock fitting in place, remove the metal pin
(not in the video) and put it through the hole on the camlock fittings itself to ensure you
have a good hold.
Our cold therapy water chiller has a GFI plug. It's suitable to plug into a 110v - 120v 15a
outlet (standard household outlet) It is recommended to plug directly into a receptacle.
Power strips should be avoided. If an extension cord is necessary we recommend using
a 12 awg cord with single end (not a multi tap). Once plugged in, be sure the GFI is in
the reset position.
