Job Checklists


1.43 Chiller Replacement Prep

Power Down The Plunge

  • Pause the chiller by pressing the pause button on the UI
    • ⚠️ Powering down the Plunge while it's in a cooling cycle can damage the chiller.
  • Press the test button on the GFCI outlet to power down the Plunge.
  • Unplug the GFCI outlet from the outlet.

🚨 Important: Do not power down the Plunge before pausing the chiller.

 
 
 
 

🚨Close Auto-Doser Ball Valves🚨

  • Close the two auto-doser ball valves (perpendicular to the piping).
  • Important note: Not closing the ball valves will cause the auto-doser probe to dry out and need a recalibration.
 
 

Drain The Plunge

  • Remove the right ventilation screen. Opposite of the filter housing.
  • Locate the main drain manifold at the bottom and remove the cap from the spigot.
  • Attach a garden hose or inline pump to the spigot
  • Turn the valve on the spigot and the water should flow out
  • Turn the valve to close the spigot and install the cap back on.
 

1.43 Chiller Replacement Work Instructions

Remove Chiller Vents and Thumb Nuts

  • Remove both chiller vent panels.
  • Unscrew all 5 thumb nuts:
    • 3 from the left chiller vent
    • 2 from the right chiller vent
  • Note: Bottom-right nut may be an 8mm hex nut—use socket if necessary.
 
 

Remove Rear Cover

  • Slowly pull and wiggle the rear cover out through the vent openings.
 
 

Remove Chiller Mounting Nuts

  • Using a 10mm socket remove the 4 nuts securing the chiller to the base frame:
    • 2 on each side of the chiller base.
 
 

Cut Electrical Zip Ties

  • Cut zip ties securing:
    • LED wire
    • Power cord (if tied to the frame)
 
 

Disconnect Plumbing Manifolds

  • Remove the 4 manifolds connecting chiller to tub:
    1. Main Drain – under e-box, connects to lower plumbing
    2. TH-1 – right of water filter housing
    3. Flow Meter – connects from rear of water filter to bottom of heat exchanger
    4. Heat Exchanger to Jet – top of heat exchanger to lower plumbing union
 
 

Remove Chiller

  • Warning: Move slowly. Use 2 people if needed.
  • Grab handles on both sides of the chiller base.
  • Carefully lift and walk the unit forward.
  • Angle the top of the chiller back to clear the e-box from the tub wall.

NOTE: Only pull chiller out far enough to vacuum the entire back of the condenser fan. 

 
 

Vacuum Back of Condenser Fan

  • Vacuum the back of the condenser fan using a bristle brush head.
  • Make sure all lint, dust, and dirt is clear from the back of the condenser fan to ensure proper air flow.

NOTE: Not clearing all lint, dust, and dirt

 

Install New Chiller

  • Warning: Take your time—use two people if necessary.
  • Tilt the top of the chiller back and slide the base into the cabinet.
  • Lift and shift the unit until bolt holes align with frame.
  • Slide bolts through chiller base.
 
 

Connect Plumbing to Tub

  • Reconnect the 4 manifolds from the new chiller to the tub:
    1. Main Drain → under e-box to tub plumbing
    2. TH-1 → right side of filter housing
    3. Flow Meter → rear of filter housing
    4. Heat Exchanger to Jet → bottom plumbing union
  • Note: Confirm o-rings are present on the 2 unions connecting to lower plumbing.
 

🚨Open the Auto-Doser Ball Valves🚨

  • Open the two auto-doser ball valves (perpendicular to the piping).

Important note: Not opening the ball valves before powering on the Plunge can damage and break the chiller.

 
 

Prepare for Rear Cover Installation

  • Reattach e-box cover (4 screws).
  • Secure chiller to frame using the 4 base nuts.
  • Pre-install the upper thumb nut (near filter housing) loosely—this area is tight with cover on.
 
 

Install Rear Cover

  • Carefully slide rear cover over chiller.
  • Ensure power cord is routed through the correct side.
  • Reinstall all 5 thumb nuts to secure rear panel.
