1 ½ HP Water Chiller - The Recovery Outlet

Key Features

The 1.5 HP Water Chiller is built for systems where temperature consistency actually matters. With 15,000 BTU/hour of cooling power, it rapidly removes heat from large water volumes and holds stable temperatures even in warm environments.

A titanium heat exchanger provides long-term corrosion resistance and keeps water chemistry clean, making the system safe for continuous use and sensitive applications. The chiller runs on standard 110–120V power, delivering commercial-level performance without complex electrical requirements.

An integrated digital temperature controller automatically monitors and maintains your selected temperature, eliminating manual adjustments and guesswork. Designed for efficiency and durability, the unit operates with reduced noise and is housed in a rugged, serviceable enclosure.

This is a performance-grade cooling solution built to run reliably, not a lightweight or temporary fix.

Designed for High-Demand Cooling Applications

The 1.5 HP water chiller is built for environments where consistent temperature control and continuous operation are required.

It performs reliably in cold plunge and wellness systems, maintaining stable water temperatures without ice or frequent manual intervention. In aquariums and marine setups, it helps reduce temperature fluctuations that can occur in larger tanks or warmer climates.

For hydroponic and aquaponic systems, the chiller supports stable reservoir temperatures that are easier to manage during high ambient heat. It also integrates well into brewing, fermentation, and beverage applications, where controlled cooling is essential for consistency.

Beyond these uses, the unit is well-suited for custom installations, laboratory environments, and closed-loop process cooling, offering dependable performance in demanding, continuous-duty setups.

This is a professional-grade cooling solution designed to scale with your system and operate reliably over time.
