5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly set up your Erfolkerz Water Chiller.

5.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
Verify that all items listed in the "Package Contents" section are present.
Inspect the chiller and accessories for any signs of damage. Contact customer support if any damage is found.

5.2 Placement

Place the chiller on a flat, stable surface near your ice bath or water container.
Ensure there is adequate space around the chiller for proper ventilation (at least 6 inches on all sides).
Position the chiller so that the hoses can reach both the chiller and the water container without kinks or excessive tension.

5.3 Connecting Hoses and Pumps

The chiller supports two main installation methods:

Diagrams showing two installation methods for the water chiller — Figure 3: Installation methods for the water chiller, showing connections with a pump and filter for a tub or bucket.

Connect the Pumps: Depending on your setup, you will use either the submersible pump or the lift pump.
Install the Filter: Connect the filter in-line with the water flow, typically between the pump and the chiller inlet, or after the chiller outlet.
Connect Hoses: Attach the hoses to the chiller's inlet and outlet ports, securing them with the provided sealing rings and nuts. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
Route Hoses: Place the pump in your ice bath or water container. Connect one hose from the pump to the chiller's inlet. Connect the other hose from the chiller's outlet back into your ice bath or water container.
Minimize Hose Length: Keep chiller outlet pipe short to prevent temperature loss.

5.4 Filling the Water Container

Fill your ice bath or water container with the desired amount of water. Ensure the water level is sufficient for the pump to operate correctly.

5.5 Power Connection

Plug the chiller's power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
Plug in the pump's power cord.

6. Operating Instructions
