Review: Great cold plunge chiller, just needs a pump - This chiller has been working great for my cold plunge setup. It keeps my 100+ gallon tub at 55°F consistently without any issues. It’s fairly quiet overall — you can definitely hear it running, but it’s not overly loud or distracting. Setup was straightforward, but buyers should know that it does not come with a pump, so you’ll need to purchase one separately. The unit itself feels sturdy and well built, even though the outer housing is plastic. One important thing: make sure you give it plenty of room for airflow. It throws off a good amount of heat from the back while cooling. I would absolutely buy it again. Five stars. Review: Great chiller that also warms (somewhat) - 8 months in and the chiller is working great. One thing to note, the chiller does actually work to heat water as well as chill it. I have it installed in a cold plunge in Michigan and we have with high temps in the mid 20s right now. The chiller can't quite maintain the 50 degree set point, but it is very close at around 48 degrees. Back in January when temps were around 10 degrees all day long, the chiller kept the water around 43 degrees. It had no difficulty keeping the water cool last summer, but because of information in other reviews, I bought an aquarium heater thinking that the water might freeze in winter and that was unnecessary. ## Features - Rapid Cooling with Boost Function: Achieve the perfect temperature faster for your nutrient solutions, aquariums, or cold baths with the exclusive Boost feature of the Active Aqua Chiller - Efficient Temperature Control: User-friendly interface of this fish tank chiller gives you full control over the precise temperature range ensuring superior growth and vitality for plants and fish - Versatile Applications: This aquarium water chiller is ideal for hydroponic systems, aquaponic reservoirs, and even cold plunge baths with a large refrigeration capacity of 40-92 gallons - Reliable Power and Efficiency: Active Aqua 1/4 HP Chiller features a 0.25 HP motor (396-925 gallons per hour); Designed for compatibility with AAPW400, AAPW550, and AAPW800 pumps - Built to Last: Engineered with an anti-corrosive pure titanium evaporator for fresh and saltwater environments, offering long-term durability and consistent performance; Pump and hoses are required but NOT included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #68,445 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #47 in Hydroponic Growing Kits & Systems | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 346 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Plastic - **Capacity:** 92 Gallons - **Brand:** ACTIVEAQUA - **Product Dimensions:** 20.5"D x 17.8"W x 20.3"H ## Images ![Active Aqua Hydroponic Water Chiller for Aquaponics, Plunge Baths and Aquariums, 0.25 HP - Portable Cooling System with Boost Function for 40-92 Gallon Reservoirs, Pure Titanium Evaporator Cooler - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gXF0ObiiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cold plunge chiller, just needs a pump *by J***S on May 19, 2026* This chiller has been working great for my cold plunge setup.

One thing to note, the chiller does actually work to heat water as well as chill it. I have it installed in a cold plunge in Michigan and we have with high temps in the mid 20s right now.

(a little over 1.5 years). I keep it in our enclosed patio (yes I know it says indoor only). I kept filters clean and was not exposed to liquid or dirt. I stored it for 2 months during winter months here in Florida. Turned it on and got the thermostat broke error. Will probably cost more than the unit is worth to have thermometer fixed. Must be the Florida humidity or fresh ai UPDATE #2 (contacted seller) They responded within a week and offered some suggestions but all where "common sense". Issue with paper coming out of the chiller unit and into the water they responded: "could have been some packaging material was left inside at manufacturer." but, they will NOT do anything about it since I have it on my screen-enclosed porch. (technically outside). They did not have any solution for the temperature gauge being wrong. Pretty disappointed because even if I did have the unit inside, these hoses slightly leak. Plus, condensation alone will dampen your floor. It's still chilling well though, but with the thermometer broken I have to rely on manual floating thermometer. Will not buy this cooler again because I refuse to put this wet leaking thing inside my home. I voided the warranty by putting it on my porch (like everyone does it seems). UPDATE 9 MONTHS - chiller still working well but all of a sudden the thermostat is exactly 10 degrees off (too high). Not a big issue as it's consistently 10 degrees exactly, just something to consider. (did not change location or anything else) BIG problem is it's spewing out small bits of what looks like thin brown paper. I'm going to take it apart and look at it, also will try to contact manufacturer. Will update with results. Able to keep my 100 gal cold plung at 55 degrees all day outside in Florida summer (under covered porch). Actually got it down to 48 without much problem! Unit is very quiet, chills quickly for it's size, attachments seem to fit well and do not leak. CONS (all very minor, just fyi stuff I wish i had known) - Unit is slightly different than pictures (hose locations, side power switch) - To turn off need to hold down for 6 seconds. Would like to have the power switch on top instead of way down on side. - Boost function doesn't seem to cool any quicker. - Hose attachments are cheap plastic, seems these would fail before mechanics but we'll see. ## Frequently Bought Together - Active Aqua Hydroponic Water Chiller w/ Boost Function, 0.25 HP - Adjustable Cooling System for 40-92 Gallon Reservoirs, Pure Titanium Evaporator Cooler for Aquaponics, Cold Plunge Baths & Aquariums - 3/4" Female NPT in-Line Strainer with 100 mesh Stainless Steel Filter Screen (3/4“ 100 Mesh) - Active Aqua Hydrofarm 0.75 Inch Inside Diameter Vinyl Tubing for Indoor Vegetation Growing Hydroponic Irrigation Systems and Tanks, 25 Feet, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/81300989-active-aqua-hydroponic-water-chiller-for-aquaponics-plunge-baths-aquariums](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/81300989-active-aqua-hydroponic-water-chiller-for-aquaponics-plunge-baths-aquariums) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
