Snowflake Mach 1
Chill Out Ice Tubs are designed and more importantly made here in Opua, Bay of Islands.
This one here is my first Snowflake model made from a mixture of 50mm Expol insulation foam, high density foam, fibreglass, epoxy resin and the appropriate finishers.
The Chiller is a small .3hp unit with a custom box, filtration and ozone. The fans are ducted straight out the bottom of the box so it runs incredibly efficiently. It can be set to 0 degrees and I have had temps in Winter under 1 degree but manages more sane temperatures easily.
Has been in use since May 2024 every day. Made for someone around 6'1 85kg.
Dimensions
- 79.5cm high.
- External width 89.5cm Internal width 79.5cm
- Front to back 137cm
Pro's
- Works as it should, very reliable.
- One off, no one else will have one exactly like this.
- Cheap enough to run.
- Easily serviceable with NZ fittings.
Con's
- Should've been built fully with high density foam like my newer ones.
- Box needs a little tidy up and finish which I will do at time of sale. Not a big job.
- Still needs proper feet glassed on the base which I will do at time of sale.
- Could do with a clear screen cover over the temperature adjuster to make the whole box 100% weather tight but doesn't really matter. Still trying to find something suitable.
- Will not fit through a standard door. A big factor depending on where you intend to keep it.
Selling as I want to use another one that is being developed.
May be able to deliver myself depending on where it goes.
