Frostcore Ice Bath Water Chiller for Cold Plunge
Description
The Frostcore Ice Bath Water Chiller by TURBRO is a powerful 1HP cold plunge solution that eliminates the hassle of buying, hauling, and managing ice. Designed for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and recovery-focused individuals, it automatically maintains water temperatures anywhere from 36°F to 86°F - giving you a precise, consistent cold plunge experience every single time. Its rotary compressor and titanium heat exchanger work together to cool water from 110°F down to 36°F in approximately 5-6 hours, delivering serious chilling performance for serious recovery needs.
Built for real-world use, the Frostcore works with virtually any tub - standard bathtubs, inflatable tubs, soaking tubs, or dedicated plunge tubs in the 80-132 gallon range - so you don't need to invest in special equipment to get started. A 3-stage filtration system with an integrated ozone generator keeps water clean and hygienic between sessions, while smart Wi-Fi control lets you schedule, monitor, and adjust your plunge from anywhere. Whether it's in your home gym, on the patio, or in the garage, this chiller is built to perform.

FAQ
How long does it take to cool the water to cold plunge temperature?
The Frostcore F85 can cool water from 110°F down to 36°F in approximately 5-6 hours. Actual cooling time varies based on your tub's volume, the starting water temperature, and the ambient air temperature. Smaller tubs and cooler starting conditions will reach target temperature faster.
Does this work with my existing bathtub or do I need a special cold plunge tub?
It works with virtually any tub - standard household bathtubs, inflatable tubs, soaking tubs, and dedicated cold plunge tubs in the 80-132 gallon range. Simply place both hoses below the water surface, keeping them apart and away from the walls and bottom. If your tub has 1/2" NPT internal threads, you can use the included waterpipe adapter for a direct connection.
Do I need to replace the filters, and how often?
The external 40-micron prefilter is reusable - just rinse it when debris accumulates. The internal 20-micron sediment filter should be replaced every 4-8 weeks depending on usage frequency and local water quality. Replacement takes less than a minute. A 5-pack of replacement filters is available for purchase separately.
Can I use this outdoors year-round?
The Frostcore is rated IPX4 for outdoor use and can operate in ambient temperatures up to 109°F, making it great for hot summer days. However, do not operate the unit in ambient temperatures at or below 34°F, as this can damage the unit. It should also be protected from heavy rain or prolonged direct water exposure despite its splash resistance rating.
How does the 1HP model compare to cheaper 1/3HP chillers?
The 1HP system provides roughly 3x the cooling speed and capacity of 1/3HP models, making it well-suited for daily intensive use, commercial gym environments, and larger tubs (up to 132 gallons). The trade-off is slightly higher power consumption and operational noise compared to lower-horsepower units. For serious athletes or professional settings, the performance difference is significant.
Can I schedule my cold plunge in advance using the app?
Yes. The companion smartphone app (compatible with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi) lets you set a real-time clock and running schedule so the water is already at your target temperature when you're ready to plunge. You can also activate disinfection mode, lock/unlock the unit, and monitor system status remotely from anywhere.
How often should I change the water?
It is recommended to change the water every 2-4 weeks when using the built-in ozone disinfection function. You can also gauge water freshness by monitoring the color of the filter - if it looks heavily soiled, it's time for a change regardless of the schedule.
