Professional Sports Teams
The top athletes and elite sports organizations depend on American Chillers for keeping their therapy plunge pools cold. We have experience with cold plunge chillers including The New Orleans Saints, Oklahoma City Thunder, Philadelphia 76’ers, Chicago Bears, Denver Nuggets, LA Mighty Ducks to name a few.

Colleges and Universities
Many colleges and universities have also turned to American Chillers for their cold plunge chiller. We have customers at large and small universities alike including the football cold plunge pools for Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio and The Naval Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado where larger plunge pools are used so that several athletes can dip at the same time.

Other Customers
We have customers that include Hollywood producers and agents, of which many use a cold plunge as part of their everyday routine. John Jay (of the John Jay and Rich Show), a popular deejay in Arizona swears by his cold plunge poolYou need to watch (this video) where he challenges his friends to a cold plunge (it is very funny)! 

You don’t need to be a professional or collegiate athlete to benefit from cold therapy. We have provided chillers many residential customers and commercial spas, health clubs and therapy centers. Read on for more about cold therapy and American Chillers.

Tony Robbins
Tony Robbins swears by the positive effects of cold water therapy. Check out this link. He uses cold water therapy as part of his morning routine and teaches a program to thousands of people on how to incorporate cold water therapy as part of a daily routine (following a hot bath or sauna).

Wim Hoff Method
Wim Hoff is a cross between a yoga instructor and Tony Robbins. He promotes a lifestyle, The Wim Hoff Method (click to see more) that includes cold therapy, focused on three principles he calls his “Three Pillars”.

Wim Hoff’s Three Pillars
The Three Pillars are breathing, cold therapy and commitment; taking control of your thoughts and body. Wim has a large following and credits his cold therapy practice to building brown fat (he calls healthy fat) and his ability to  put his mind over any obstacle. The cold plunges make you stronger over time by building up a tolerance to the cold water, which helps you to build up a tolerance to other stresses and challenges in life.

Engineers for Tough Applications and Water Types
Engineering for unique pool applications is our specialty. Off-the-shelf chillers are not manufactured to handle the corrosiveness of pool water. We engineer chillers for salt water pools, fresh water or chlorine. Please specify which type of pool when ordering. The heat exchangers are different. We offer stainless steel, cupronickel and titanium options.

Chillers used in winter?
Yes, many serious athletes and therapy centers need to use the cold plunge pools year around. American Chillers makes chillers that can operate year around for all climates, even when the outdoor temperature is -20F degrees, the indoor temperature is 80F degrees and the pool water needs to be 45F degrees. We can do it!

Plunge pools for horses (equine) and other animals
Do you know that we can build a chiller for pet (canine) plunges and livestock as well. Yes, it is becoming a big thing. There are equine cold plunge pools for horses and help to speed recovery after an injury and, also are used to cool them down during hot summer months. How does a horse get in a cold plunge pool? Well, it’s a little different than for people. There is often a door that opens so the horse can step into the pool and sometimes a step or two. Sometimes, the pool has a treadmill or other hydrotherapy type treatment. If you have the vessel, American Chillers can cool it!

Hydrotherapy
Yes, now therapy centers and physical therapists are using hydrotherapy to help speed recovery time. There are in-water treadmills, bikes and ellipticals all of which, are often used with cold water therapy.

What is a cold plunge or ice bath?
Just like the name implies, a cold plunge, cold water immersion therapy or ice bath is a pool used to cool down, mostly for sports therapy and recovery after exercise or surgery, but has evolved into healthy living practices and even weight loss.

What is the typical water temperature for a cold plunge pool?
The typical cold plunge pool temperature is between 45F degrees and 55F degrees, although sometimes even colder water is desired. American Chillers can build a chiller for colder water temperatures. Consult a salesperson for details.

2,000 to 2,700  7 Ton 7.0 7.5
Above 2,700 C/F C/F C/F
Chiller Sizing Guide is based on the following: 1. Indoor pool in air-conditioned space. 2. Duration of use is short. 3. Dipping body part—not full body immersion.
Important considerations: 1. Piping that is exposed to sun light or not insulated. 2. Pools (like gunite) that are not insulated. 3. Direct sun light. 4. Pools that are open when not in use (not covered). 5. Warm ambient temperatures around pool. 6. High usage sites; like for a sports team, busy spa or therapy center. 7. Piping runs under warm cement floors. 8. Long piping runs (that can absorb heat). 9. Filter systems that add heat. 10. Cool down time – chart assumes chiller will be used to maintain the water at a fixed temperature. If chiller will be turned on/off with specified cool down times, consult factory.
Note – This is a guide only. No warranties or guaranties are given or implied. If site conditions are not consistent with chart limitations / conditions or if you are unsure about how to size, consult factory for assistance.
