COLD PLUNGE WITH CHILLER
PLAN IT FROM YOUR PHONE
The Tuya Smart app gives you remote access to operating controls. Start preparing the water before the moment arrives instead of organizing the moment around the equipment. That shift turns the plunge into something easier to repeat. The decision can happen first. The water can be ready later.
A SMALLER COMMITMENT TO SPACE
The upright tub uses a circular footprint and can be deflated when plans change. Its carrying bag makes seasonal storage, a move, or a room reset possible without treating the plunge as a permanent fixture. You still need to reserve operating space for the chiller and airflow, but the tub itself gives you more flexibility than a fixed shell.
NO PERMANENT PLUMBING
Quick connect hoses create the circulation loop between tub and chiller. A household hose can fill the tub, while the supplied adapter directs drainage through a standard garden hose. That keeps installation reversible. You can plan a proper water route without cutting into the room or adding permanent supply and waste lines.

A simple setup plan
ACCESS
Move the tub to its final location while deflated, then inflate it in place. Confirm that the selected chiller can pass through every door, turn, stair, and gate on the access route. Its largest published dimensions are 20 in wide × 12 in deep × 16 in high for Nova, 16 in wide × 18 in deep × 18 in high for Core, and 15.5 in wide × 20 in deep × 23.3 in high for Apex.
SUPPORT
Use a flat, level base that can support approximately 529 lb at the recommended fill or 806 lb at maximum fill, plus the separate chiller and user. Verify the capacity of any raised floor, deck, or balcony before purchase. Indoors, plan for condensation and splashes with a waterproof mat or floor covering.
POWER AND AIRFLOW
Use a grounded GFCI protected supply. Core 0.8 HP and Apex 1 HP require a dedicated 120 V, 15 A circuit. The Nova 0.3 HP manual requires at least 10 A and recommends 12 A. Keep at least 24 in clear at the fan and protect the chiller from direct precipitation.
FIRST START
Inflate the tub to 10 PSI and the cover to 7 PSI. Install the cartridge and mesh filters, confirm every O ring is seated, connect the hoses, open both water valves, and fill until the water sits at least 6 in above the lower outlet. Connect power only after water can circulate. An A08 display for the first 2–3 minutes can be normal while trapped air purges from the system. Revive recommends adding the approved startup oxidizer and circulating for 10–15 minutes before initial use.
A SIMPLE CARE SCHEDULE
Cold plunge ownership becomes simpler when the recurring jobs are visible before purchase. These are the core checks that keep the system ready to use.
Check water clarity, water level, hose connections, filter housings, and open valves. Confirm that the intake and return remain submerged and that water is circulating normally. Keep the insulated cover in place between sessions to limit debris and environmental load.
Power off the chiller and close both tub valves before opening a filter housing. Rinse the metal mesh prefilter and inspect the 20 micron cartridge. Replace the cartridge when it becomes light brown or when flow remains restricted after cleaning. Revive states that daily use can require replacement about once a month.
Drain and refill the tub. Clean the interior with a soft, nonabrasive cloth and a mild cleaning solution, then rinse thoroughly. Wipe the cover and inspect the tub, hoses, valves, seals, and connections before restarting.
Run the manufacturer specified system deep clean, flush the circuit completely, and clean the chiller air filter and condenser.
