SALUS SAUNAS Cold Plunge

Product Information

Specifications:

Weight: 300-450 lbs (unit), 800-1000 lbs (with water)
Recommended Flow Rate: 15-19 liters per minute

Product Usage Instructions

Set Up Walkthrough:
Place the Cold Plunge Tub and Chiller Motor on an even, debris-free surface capable of supporting the weight. Allow the Chiller Motor to settle upright for 20 minutes before initial use.

Preparing the Components:
Wrap all threads on the Chiller and Tub with Teflon tape, wrapping clockwise 2-3 times around each thread.
Fasten Adapters to the Tub by wrapping them with Teflon tape before attaching Hoses. Gaskets should be installed inside Adapters and Hose Connections.

Connecting the Components:
Connect the Chiller Motor Outlet to the Tub Inlet and the Tub Outlet to the Chiller Motor Inlet. Hand-tighten the connections, avoiding over-tightening to prevent thread stripping. If using optional Valves, ensure they do not restrict water flow. Connect them following the same process as with the other components.

Valve Operation:
If using optional Valves, ensure they are wide enough to maintain recommended flow rates of 15-19 liters per minute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: How do I ensure proper installation of the Cold Plunge system?
A: Follow the setup guide carefully, ensuring components are placed on a level surface and connections are made securely but not over-tightened.
Q: Can I adjust the flow rate of water through the system?
A: If using optional Valves, make sure they do not reduce the flow rate below 15 liters per minute to maintain optimal performance.

Set Up Walkthrough

Set up Cold Plunge Tub and Chiller Motor on an even, level surface free of debris. Be sure to select a location that can support the weight of the unit (300-450 lbs), with consideration for the additional weight of the water (800-1000 lbs).
Prior to turning on for the first time, position the Chiller Motor upright on a level surface for at least 20 minutes to allow the compressor fluid to setle properly.

Once the Tub and Chiller are placed, you’ll need the following:

Hoses
Gaskets
Teflon Tape
Adapters (if using optional valves)

Wrap all threads on Chiller and Tub (4 Total) with Teflon:

Wrap Clock-wise around threads
Wrap 2-3 times around

*Fasten Adapters to Tub:

Wrap Adapters with Teflon Tape before fastening Hoses to Adapters
*Adapters only needed if using optional valves

Connections

Install Gaskets inside Adapters and Hose Connections:

Connect Hoses: Hand Tight is acceptable, do not overtighten connections as this may strip the threads.

Chiller Motor Outlet to Tub Inlet:
Tub Outlet to Chiller Motor Inlet:

Optional Valves

Valves shown are examples of Ball Valves. If using, please ensure that inner diameter is wide enough to not reduce flow of water through system. We recommend maintaining flow rates of 15-19 liters per minute.

If installing optional Valves: Wrap Teflon
between each component following same process as wrapping connector threads and adapters.
