The Chilly GOAT Valaris is one acrylic shell holding two bodies of water: a 120-gallon cold side cooled or heated by a 2.1 HP heat pump, and a 150-gallon hot side with its own heater to 104°F. The hot side has 18 jets, 16 of them hydromassage jets, and three seats with armrests.
It is sold with a Terrain or Glacier cabinet at the same price. The store page gives the cold side 40 to 104°F; the 2026 owner's manual gives the cold-side panel 39 to 104°F and prints one water capacity of 145 gallons without naming a side.
It measures 84 by 84 by 30 inches, weighs 1,010 lb dry on the store page and 1,075 lb in the manual, and needs a 240 V 50 A GFCI circuit wired by an electrician. A UV system, a pump that runs around the clock, a Wi-Fi app, LED lighting, cupholders, a built-in drain and an insulated cover with safety locks come with it.
A water care kit, four filters, 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.
