What You Must Know Reasons Why the Cold Plunge Chiller Pump Is Not Working

by | Sep 25, 2024 | BLOG

Many people are now using cold plunges with water chillers due to their health benefits. However, during use, the water chiller may encounter issues that prevent it from functioning properly. For instance, if the cold plunge chiller pump has a problem, it will affect the performance of the chiller. Therefore, it’s important to learn how to analyze the causes of pump issues and take appropriate measures to solve them, ensuring efficient use of the chiller.

The Role of Water Pump in Cold Plunge Chiller (Working Principle)

Many people may not know much about how a water pump works in a cold plunge chiller pump .Water pump is an important part of the water chiller .The water pump transmits the water cooled/heated by the chiller to the equipment that needs to be cooled/heated to achieve the purpose of cooling or heating. The role of the overall water chiller pump is to keep the water circulating to achieve continuous cooling/heating effect. Therefore, we need to choose a suitable and durable water chiller.

Clogged Filters: How Dirt and Debris Affect Water Pump Operation

1.the filtration system, which affects the cooling effect.

 

2. If the blockage is serious, it will damage the water pump and affect the work of the water pump, so we need to clean or replace the filter system regularly.

 

3. At the same time, we also want to introduce the filter system, at present, our company has filter paper core and stainless steel filter core. Customers can choose according to their actual needs

 

4.We can describe in detail the blockage of the filtration system:

 

1).The cold plunge chiller pump cannot start up, and three minutes later, the compressor and fan will begin running. Without water, the cold flow cannot return to the compressor, resulting in icing on the copper pipe joint above the compressor and titanium gun. This affects the refrigeration performance and overall efficiency of the system.

 

2).The normal flow of water, with the filter slowly blocked, the water flow is small, The lack of water in the waterway leads to the lack of cold flow back to the compressor, which leads to the freezing of the copper pipe joints above the compressor and the titanium gun, affecting the refrigeration effect.

 

Improper Installation: The Water Pump is Not Installed Properly or The Screws Are Loose

If the cold plunge chiller pump is not installed properly, the water chiller cannot work as expected. Under normal circumstances, the factory will install the cold plunge chiller pump in advance and test it to ensure there are no issues before shipping. However, it is possible that shaking during transportation could cause the cold plunge chiller pump or screws to become loose and misaligned. In this case, reinstall the cold plunge chiller pump according to the instructions, or contact the factory for technical help.

Cold Plunge Tub The Inlet and Outlet Are Blocked, and the Water Flow is not Smooth

Many people may consciously clean up the filtration system, but it is easy to ignore the cleaning of the inlet and outlet, which is actually a reason for affecting the normal work of the water pump. If the inlet and outlet of the cold plunge tub are not cleaned in time, it is easy to block and may lead to an increase in the pressure of the cooling system and an increase in the working load of the pump. If the water flow is not smooth during use, it is necessary to check whether the inlet and outlet are blocked. Therefore, the water inlet and outlet must be cleaned regularly, which can improve the efficiency of the chiller and at the same time, it is necessary to add a mobile filter to the inlet to prevent blockage.

Mechanical Failure of the Cold Plunge Chiller Pump Itself

There are many reasons why the water pump doesn’t work,after troubleshooting other problems, if the water pump itself is faulty and cannot work, you need to replace the water pump. In general, our water pump working life is thirty thousand hours. If it is not man-made damage, just the quality of the water pump, and within the warranty period, please contact the factory for after-sales treatment. Replacing a new water pump is relatively easy and can be replaced locally, of course, we can also provide installation videos and technical guidance.

Cold Plunge Chiller Power Supply Problem

If in the process of use, the water chiller suddenly can not work properly through the power supply. It is necessary for a professional electrician to check the wiring problem. The short circuit or break of the power line will cause the chiller pump to fail to work, thus affecting the cooling effect.

Air in the Pump Needs to be Emptied

If there is air in the pump, it will cause the efficiency of the pump to decrease and make an abnormal sound. At this time, we need to turn off the cold plunge chiller, otherwise it will damage the water pump.The cooling water circulation is affected, and it may be that the pipe is loose and the air enters. At this time, try irrigation measures to let the air drain away. Irrigation is using tap water from the inlet of the cold plunge until the air is drained and the water pump can work normally.

Maintenance Neglect: Importance of Regular Servicing and Upkeep

In the normal use of the cold plunge chiller, it is inevitable that some factors affect the water pump, thus affecting the refrigeration effect, in order to extend the service life, we should consciously and regularly do maintenance work, so that the water chiller work with high quality and efficiency.

 

  1. Remember that the water pump can not run in the cold plunge without water
  2. Clean the filter and inlet and outlet pipes regularly, and replace the filter element if necessary.
  3. Periodically check the cable contact, and whether the voltage and current are stable. Turn off the power supply during the check.
  4. Check the compressor and water pump regularly for abnormal vibration and noise.
  5. The water in the cold plunge should be changed frequently, and if the water is contaminated, it will also affect the pump.
  6. At present, our water chiller has a self-test system, if the water pump can not work normally, the control panel will show the reason for the failure to work, then customer according to the prompt to deal with it, so it is more convenient for customers to use and solve the problem of the water pump.
