Curious why in this video you didn't do the quick connects? Any reason why not? Did you find it slows water flow by having those on?

@Recovatech 6 дней назад

No, they definitely work. I'm always experimenting with new ways of doing things and simplifying the process. This is just another way of doing things without buying extra parts.

@joshn7210 Месяц назад

how often do you run the chiller?

@davidwray1914 Месяц назад

Thanks for the write up and instructions! Just one note, I purchased one of the 1/3 HP chillers and only realized after that the rating and reviews for it were inaccurate. All of the 4/5 star reviews were for a different product completely. All the negatives were for the chiller. Definitely not a slight on you, but I wanted to point that out. Cheers!

@Recovatech Месяц назад

I've noticed that too. Not with the chillers, but with other products. Somehow the sellers are combining reviews from multiple products to boost the number of overall positive reviews. Very dishonest. For those that might see this, and this does not imply any sort of endorsement or guarantee, but I've personally owned the 1/3HP chiller from Poafamx, Baoshishan, and Ezcasch on Amazon and they all worked the same...well, are the same.

@davidwray1914 Месяц назад

@@Recovatech I noticed that too - they just put a different sticker on it and call their own. :) Thanks

@joshn7210 19 дней назад

I noticed in your other video you used a whole house filter. curious if you found that was overkill? in my ice barrel 300 I'm setting up a DIY chiller option but I'm trying to figure out the appropriate filtration set-up. I've used it for several weeks w/o any filtration system (just hydrogen peroxide & spa stabilizer) and noticed lots of skin flakes floating around. Not sure if the sediment filter shown here would be sufficient. have you tested them both for at least several weeks?

@Recovatech 19 дней назад

A whole house filter will definitely filter out smaller debris (like skin) vs a sediment filter. If you go that route, I’d use a 20-40 micron or above filter. Too fine and it will clog up way too fast.

@DominicZaidan Месяц назад

Great option, thank you for putting this out - question... my IB 300 is indoor and I attach a hose to empty it to clean. If I go with the filter attached directly to the spout option, does it unscrew easily to allow me to empty and clean the filter easily? Is this the best option for one indoors? thanks again

@Recovatech Месяц назад

Yeah, the sediment filter attached directly to the IB300 spout uses the same connection as a regular hose. Just close the valve, unscrew it, and attach the hose to drain it. Thanks for commenting!

@XraptorM 24 дня назад

Can you link to the products you use to keep the cold plunge sanitary

@Recovatech 24 дня назад

Sure! I use the Sirona Sanitizer, Enzyme Clarifier, and then some food-grade Hydrogen Peroxide. No specific brand for that one. amzn.to/4aV3yee

@daneshearer1188 Месяц назад

Thanks Again. I purchased the 800 ActiveAqua pump Model, but it had 5/8 inline thread instead. Which model are you using to get the 3/4 inline thread?

@Recovatech Месяц назад

Yeah, that's super annoying how they do that. In the video I'm using the 1100.

@daneshearer1188 Месяц назад

@@Recovatech I guess the 1100 is the same as the 1000, as listed on your Amazon link?

@Recovatech Месяц назад

@@daneshearer1188 I think Amazon has it listed as 1100 but on the pump I believe it says 1000. Either way, yes!

@mikesurma 23 дня назад

I have the exact same set up. When I turn it on I can only get the water to go about 6in past the pump. It doesn’t even make it into the chiller. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

@robertmcintyre6596 3 дня назад

Same, were you able to figure out the problem?

@DerrickLorah Месяц назад

How do you like the 300? Costco has it for $999 (shipping included). Was going to get the 500 but the price difference of $500 makes it less appealing. Knowing what you know now - would you say the 500 is worth an extra $500 difference or is the 300 just fine. Note: I’m 5’8

@Recovatech Месяц назад

I would say get it! I've heard a few people mention that they don't really like the seat in the 500 anyway. That's a really good price for the 300.

@shanerourke5885 Месяц назад

Do you leave your chiller and pump on all the time or do you just turn it on prior to using?

@Recovatech Месяц назад

Great question! I normally just set the temp on the chiller and it will automatically come on when the water temp rises 3-5 degrees (depending on where I set it). The Ice Barrel is so well insulated that it doesn't come on all that much. As for the pump, I just let it run so that the water is always circulating and kept fresh. If you want to have it come on/off at certain times, just connect it to a smart plug. That would work.

@shanerourke5885 Месяц назад

Thanks for the reply. It seems like you would burn the pump out pretty quickly letting it run all the time. I bought the pump recommended. Do you have any idea on how long it will last running consistently.

@Recovatech Месяц назад

@@shanerourke5885 I don't, but have had one running for months without issue. They're made for aquariums and ponds and designed to run non-stop. But now that I say that, don't be upset at me if yours burns out prematurely. 😄

@808kea808 24 дня назад

How often would the chiller come on daily? On the fence of getting one. Just wanna know how well the insulation is

@pluggedintopower 2 месяца назад

I keep my cold plunge outside and I live in FL. Is the water chiller and everything else ok to keep outside?

@Recovatech 2 месяца назад

Yes and no. It's ok to be outside, but keep the chiller covered and out of direct sun and rain.

@pluggedintopower 2 месяца назад

Thank you!

@daneshearer1188 2 месяца назад

Hi, I appreciate your channel. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the filter you used in option #1 (threaded on both sides), as very hard to find - if still available. Could you reply with a direct link?

@Recovatech 2 месяца назад

For sure! Here ya go: amzn.to/3UHsUaA

@daneshearer1188 2 месяца назад

@@Recovatech Great, thank you!

@joshn7210 Месяц назад

is the chiller safe for outdoor use? exposed rain & UV?

@Recovatech Месяц назад

Yes and no. I cold plunge right there under that gazebo. As you can see it's covered, but not enclosed. I leave the chiller on a table close to one side, so yes it does get some moisture on it and occasionally some sun exposure, but it's minimized. Leaving it out in direct sunlight or rain is not advised at all. And to answer your other question, the chiller comes on and off on its own whenever the temp rises about 2-3 degrees above the set point. I couldn't say exactly, but it only comes on a few times in a 24 hour period with the Ice Barrel 300.
