The Chilly GOAT Alpine is a one-person acrylic cold tub with a self-contained 2.1 HP heat pump that cools or heats the water, sold with a Terrain (teak-coloured) or Glacier cabinet at the same price.

The store page gives a 40 to 104°F range and 120 gallons; the 2026 owner's manual gives a 39 to 104°F panel range and 115 gallons. It measures 84 by 42 by 30 inches, weighs 620 lb dry on the store page and 560 lb in the manual, and plugs into a dedicated 120 V 15 A circuit through a factory-fitted GFCI cord.

Water care is a pressure filter whose element is certified to NSF/ANSI 50, a UV-C lamp and a pump that runs around the clock; no micron rating is published and there is no ozone. A Wi-Fi app, a topside panel, LED lighting, two flow jets, armrests, a built-in drain and an insulated cover with safety locks come with it.

A one-year water care kit, a hose fill filter, a drain hose, a skimmer net and a floating thermometer are included as well. A local dealer delivers it from Fort Wayne, Indiana, to the contiguous US.
