Safety & Usage Guidelines

Please read all safety guidelines before operating your chiller. Vital+ accepts no responsibility for misuse or failure to follow these instructions.

General Safety

Operators must be 18 years or older.
Always turn the chiller off and unplug before getting into the water.
Never operate the chiller with wet hands.
Keep the power cord away from heavy objects; do not run it under carpets.
Do not insert objects into the chiller's vents or openings.
Always keep the chiller upright and on a stable, level surface. Do not invert.
Install in a well-ventilated area with at least 100 cm (39 in) of clear space around all vents.
Do not place in closets, cabinets, or any enclosed space that restricts airflow.
Ensure the filter is installed before operating the chiller.
Regularly clean the water filter and dust net for optimal performance.
Disconnect power before any maintenance or cleaning.
Do not disassemble or modify the chiller unless specifically advised by Vital+ support.
Avoid use in very humid or dusty conditions.
Report any signs of damage, leaking, strange noises, smells, or performance issues immediately. Stop use and contact support.
Keep pets and children away during operation.
Avoid placing the chiller in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
If ambient temperature drops below 0°C (32°F), ensure the chiller is running with water circulating at all times to prevent freeze damage. Freeze damage caused by failure to maintain circulation is not covered under warranty.
Before switching on, confirm sufficient water is in the tub and all water pipes are connected properly. Dry-running the pump will generate noise and reduce its service life.
Place the power socket at a higher position than the chiller to prevent water running down the cord toward the socket.
Exercise caution around children, the elderly, and those with limited mobility.

Electrical Safety

After transportation, the chiller must remain upright on a stable surface at all times.
After transportation and before first use, leave the chiller upright for 24 hours to allow refrigeration gas to settle.
Plug into an appropriate AC socket or extension cable rated for the chiller's power requirements.
Never leave the chiller powered on while in the water. Always power off the unit during your cold water therapy session.
If the chiller stops working or will not power on, unplug it immediately and do not attempt to restart it. Contact support.
For any electrical fault or concern, contact authorised service personnel. Do not attempt repairs.
Working temperature range: 34–113°F (1–45°C).
Storage temperature (no water inside): −4–131°F (−20–55°C).
Storage relative humidity: 20%–85%.
Ensure the unit is fully unplugged when setting up or during electrical storms.
Make sure the plug is fully inserted into the socket before use.

Health & Cold Therapy

Always consult your doctor before using an ice bath if you have any health conditions.
Never use an ice bath alone. Always have someone nearby in case of an emergency.
Acclimatise slowly. Start with higher water temperatures and reduce gradually over multiple sessions.
Ensure you are well-hydrated before your session and have not consumed alcohol or substances that affect your body's response to cold.
Start with short sessions of 2–3 minutes and increase gradually as your body adapts.
Do not hold your breath underwater or perform dangerous breath work while in the tub.
