Frequently Asked Questions

Does the chiller have a built-in water pump?

Yes, the chiller includes a basic external starter pump so you can test your unit and get water flowing immediately.

However, here is our honest advice:
For a permanent, professional-grade setup, especially if you plan to add a water filter - we highly recommend upgrading to a more powerful external pump (1000+ GPH). The included pump is great for testing, but a stronger pump will cycle water faster, keep your chiller cleaner, and maintain a more consistent temperature.

Can I use the chiller outdoors?

Absolutely, the chiller is designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
Just make sure it’s placed on a flat surface, protected from direct rain, and plugged into a GFCI outlet.

Does the chiller run quietly?

Yes. The chiller runs quietly and efficiently, ideal for home gyms, patios, or garages.

How cold does it really get?

It gets down to 39°F and stays there. We picked this chiller specifically to handle high ambient temperatures (like a Texas summer). While other units "sweat" and lose coldness in the heat, our heavy-duty 1/2 HP chiller powers through to keep your water freezing.

I live in a really hot place, can the chiller keep up?

Yes. In fact, that is a main reason we started Temp Drop Labs. We are based in Texas, so we know that standard 1/3 HP chillers often fail when the garage hits 95°F+. We chose a 1/2 HP compressor specifically to overcome high ambient heat and keep your water at 39°F, even during the summer.

What maintenance is required?

To keep your chiller running for years, you need to ensure water flow remains unobstructed.

  1. Clean the Filter: Always run a water filter before the chiller inlet to catch hair and debris.
  2. Airflow: Vacuum the dust off the chiller’s air intake vents once a month to keep the motor breathing easily.
  3. Water Chemistry: Keep your water balanced using a standard sanitation kit (Ozone, Hydrogen Peroxide, or Chlorine) to prevent calcium buildup inside the heat exchanger.
