Professional Temperature Control for Cold Plunge & Contrast Therapy
The KOVE Elite Ice Bath Chiller is a powerful, professional-grade temperature control system engineered for consistent cold therapy, controlled heating, and reliable daily use. Built around a 1.0HP compressor, it delivers fast cooling and efficient heating for recovery, contrast routines, and heat/cold protocols — without the need for ice.
Ideal for serious wellness routines at home, in gyms, studios, or professional recovery spaces, this chiller balances power, reliability, and ease of use.
Powerful Cooling & Controlled Heating
With a 1.0HP compressor and strong thermal capacity, the Elite Chiller handles temperature control across a broad range:
-
Cooling: down to 3°C for consistent cold exposure
-
Heating: up to 42°C for warm recovery and contrast therapy
The heating function is optimised for recovery purposes rather than continuous spa-style heating, ensuring efficient performance and long-term system durability.
Real-World Water Volume (Practical Capacity)
Ice bath “capacity” labels are often based on total tub volume, not the water used during a plunge — especially once a person is inside. In practice, real water volume is significantly lower.
The KOVE Elite Chiller is suited to all ice bath volumes. It is an effective match for premium tubs and larger plunge systems whether inflatable, wooden, composite, or steel.
Simple Control with WiFi Connectivity
Operate the chiller using the integrated digital control panel or manage sessions remotely via built-in WiFi connectivity.
- Remote temperature setting and monitoring (iOS & Android)
- Mode switching between cooling and heating
- Performance status and alerts
Ozone Sterilisation & Filtration
To support clean water between sessions, the Elite Chiller includes:
-
Integrated ozone sterilisation to help reduce bacteria and odour buildup
-
Built-in paper filtration to capture debris
- Built in hair filter
The ozone + filter combination is a practical, low-maintenance system that adds real value when used regularly.
Compatibility & Connections
The Elite Chiller uses standard 1/2-inch connectors, the industry standard for quality ice bath systems. It supports both internal and external thread connections using adapters, making it compatible with a wide range of premium tubs and tanks.
Placement, Mobility & Practical Details
- Suitable for outdoor installation in gardens, patios, and wellness spaces
- Designed for quiet, steady operation in home or professional environments
- Standard mains plug — no special electrical installation required
- Adequate ventilation clearance recommended around all sides

Is This Chiller Suitable for Commercial Use?
KOVE chillers can be suitable for shared use, including gyms, studios, wellness centres and other environments where multiple users are plunging throughout the day, provided the correct model is selected and appropriate maintenance is carried out.
Higher usage places significantly greater demands on the filtration system. As a minimum:
- The secondary hair net filter should be inspected and cleaned daily, or more frequently where required.
- The primary filter cartridge should be inspected regularly and replaced whenever water flow becomes restricted or in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
- Water chemistry should be monitored and maintained to help protect the chiller and ensure water quality.
- Adequate water flow and ventilation must be maintained at all times.
Failure to maintain the filtration system can restrict water flow, potentially leading to reduced performance or damage to internal components. Damage resulting from inadequate maintenance is not covered under the KOVE Manufacturer’s Warranty.
Not every KOVE chiller is designed for every commercial application. Factors such as plunge size, water volume, ambient temperature, user frequency and operating hours all influence the appropriate specification.
