Winterization GuidelinesUpdated 12 days ago

To prevent freeze damage, follow these guidelines based on outdoor temperatures:

1. When ambient temperatures are below 32°F and unit not in use:

   • Power down and disconnect the hoses and the chiller.

   • Drain all water from the chiller and hoses.

   • Move the chiller and hoses indoors to a temperature-controlled area.

2. When ambient temperatures are between 32°F – 14°F and unit still in use:

   • Set the water temperature on the chiller to 41°F or higher.

   • The unit must remain running at all times, it cannot be turned off or scheduled to shut off in these conditions.

3. When ambient temperature are 14°F or lower:

   • Do not operate the chiller.

   • Power down and disconnect the hoses and the chiller.

   • Drain all water from the chiller and hoses.

   • Move the unit and hoses indoors to a temperature-controlled area.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure insulated sleeves are on and fully cover the inline hose strainer and filter canister.

• When ambient temperatures approach 32°F, keeping the unit running is crucial, shutting it off can cause internal freezing and damage.

• For best results, use an HVAC or vacuum system to remove any remaining water before storage.

⚠️ Important Notice:
The chiller is designed to operate in ambient temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C). Operation below this temperature or failure to use the insulated sleeves will result in internal freezing damage and void the warranty.
