KOVE Core 0.5HP Ice Bath Chiller – 695W Temperature-Controlled Cooling System

Consistent Cold Plunge Temperatures — Without Daily Ice Runs

The KOVE Core Ice Bath Chiller – 0.5HP (695W) is a compact, cooling-only unit built for repeatable cold exposure at home or in light commercial settings. It’s designed to keep cold plunging realistic long-term: stable temperatures, straightforward setup, and filtration that protects the system during regular use.

Available in Matt White and Deep Black, with a clean, minimal form factor that suits both indoor setups and smaller UK outdoor spaces.

Cooling Performance & Electrical Specs

• Cooling power: 1200W
• Input power: 695W
• Compressor power: 410W
• Current: 3.2A
• Power supply: 220–240V, 50Hz
• Operating time: up to 8 hours continuous use
• Usage environment: 2–45°C

Filtration Built for Regular Use (Not Just a Basic Strainer)

Water quality matters — not only for cleanliness, but for protecting the pump and internal components. Many cheaper chillers rely on a basic mesh strainer only. KOVE takes a more practical approach for repeatable use.

• Hair filter (coarse pre-filter)
• External inline filter system with a 5-inch filter bottle housing and a 20-micron cartridge for finer debris capture

This two-stage approach helps keep water clearer and helps reduce pump strain over time — especially useful if you’re plunging several times per week.

Compatibility & Connections

The chiller uses standard 1/2-inch connections — the common connector size for quality ice bath systems. It pairs perfectly with all KOVE ice baths, and is also broadly compatible with other ice baths that use standard 1/2-inch fittings.

Real-World Water Volume (Why “400L Ice Bath” Doesn’t Mean 400L of Water)

Most ice bath capacity figures are based on the tub’s total volume. In practice, water volume is usually far lower, because bodies displace water and tubs aren’t filled to the brim. This is why a chiller rated for 200–300L often performs well with many “400L” tubs in real use.

In practical terms, the 0.5HP unit is best suited to typical water volumes of 200–300L, and is a strong match for most inflatable and compact cold plunge tubs — including many tubs marketed as “up to 400L”.

Size, Weight & Placement

• Dimensions: 375 × 300 × 345 mm
• Weight: 22.2 kg

For best performance, place the unit on a stable surface with sensible airflow and allow clearance around vents. Avoid positioning where water can pool underneath.

KOVE vs Cheaper Chillers (What Usually Changes at Lower Price Points)

Bundle Recommendation (Most Popular Setup)

The simplest long-term setup is a KOVE Ice Bath + KOVE Chiller. You get standardised connections, correct flow expectations, and a system designed to work together from day one.

If you already have an ice bath: as long as it uses standard 1/2-inch fittings, this chiller will integrate cleanly.

FAQs

Will this chiller work with a “400L” ice bath?
Often, yes. Most “400L” tubs do not contain 400L of water in real use. Typical water volume is commonly closer to 200–300L once filled to a sensible level and used by a person.

What’s the difference between the hair filter and the 20-micron filter?
The hair filter catches larger debris first. The 20-micron cartridge then captures finer particulate before it reaches the system, improving water clarity and helping protect internal components.

Is this heating + cooling?
No — this model is cooling only.

Is it UK compatible?
Yes — 220–240V, 50Hz. Just plug it in.

Why Choose KOVE?
