Is this meant for outdoor use?
No. The standard and HE water chiller models are designed exclusively for indoor use.

Is a separate pump required?
Yes. The chiller does not include a pump. You will need to match the flow rate and pressure requirements of your system for effective performance.

How do I prevent damage to the heat exchanger?
Clean or replace filters weekly to maintain proper water flow. Restricted flow can cause freezing inside the exchanger, leading to damage not covered by warranty.
