KOVE Elite Ice Bath Chiller 1.5HP – Heat & Cool with App Control

The KOVE Ice Bath Chiller – 1.5HP (Heat & Cool) is a higher-output temperature control unit built for serious home routines and commercial usage. It delivers rapid cooling performance, adds heating for full seasonal control, and includes app-based operation for straightforward day-to-day management. If you plunge frequently, share the tub, run a gym/PT setup, or want fast pull-down times with minimal compromise, this is the step-up unit designed for repeatable use.

Cooling performance is where higher-output systems justify themselves. This unit is rated to reduce water temperature from 23°C to 5°C in approximately:

• 200L: ~2.4 hours
• 400L: ~5 hours

Real-world results depend on starting temperature, ambient conditions, insulation, and whether the tub is covered — but this unit is designed to be meaningfully faster than lower-output chillers.

• Cooling capacity: 3500W
• Heating capacity: 4500W
• Temperature range: 3–42°C
• Refrigerant: R32

• Power supply: 220–240V, 50Hz
• Input power: 1550W
• Compressor power: 1315W
• Usage environment: 0–45°C

For repeat use, water quality and setup reliability matter as much as headline cooling numbers. This model includes built-in systems designed to reduce day-to-day friction.

• UV + ozone sanitation features
• Built-in self-priming system for easier setup
• 20 micron paper filter (10 inch)
• External hair filter
• WiFi control via iOS & Android app

• Wheels for easy repositioning
• Carry handle for practical handling
• Quick connectors for fast hose connection

The unit uses standard 1/2-inch connections, making it compatible with all KOVE ice baths and most third-party tubs using standard fittings.

• Dimensions: 60 × 40 × 60 cm
• Weight: 45 kg
• Certifications: ETL, CB, CE, SAA
• Hose length: 1.7m
• Power cable length: 2.3m

Category	KOVE 1.5HP	Typical Cheaper Units
Cooling speed	High output (fast pull-down)	Often slow in real conditions
Heating performance	Integrated heating (4500W)	Often limited, unclear, or inefficient
Control	WiFi app (iOS & Android)	Usually basic panel-only
Sanitation	UV + ozone features + 20 micron filter	Often not included
Designed for frequent use	Yes (repeatable routines)	More variables / less consistency

The strongest setup is a KOVE Ice Bath + KOVE Chiller — standardised fittings, known flow expectations, and a system designed to work together. This unit is also broadly compatible with other tubs using standard 1/2-inch connections.

Does it heat and cool? Yes. You can run cooling-only, heating-only, or maintain a target temperature within the supported range. Is the app required? No — the app is optional. It’s there for convenience and remote control. 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.

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. Call us for more advice.

KOVE equipment is built around repeatable performance: compatibility, durability, and practical ownership. You’re paying for consistent control and systems that support regular use — not inflated claims.
