The Ice Barrel 300 Bundle pairs the 77-gallon Ice Barrel 300, a rotomolded upright tub with an internal seat, with the separate Ice Barrel Chiller. The chiller is a ½ HP unit rated to cool water to 37°F, though its own FAQ says the water often settles around 39°F; no BTU/hr figure is published.
It runs on 115 V with a 15 A fuse rating, plugs into a household outlet through a GFCI module on its cord, and is controlled from a 7-inch colour display or the Ice Barrel app over Wi-Fi.
The tub measures 35.5 by 35.5 by 30.5 inches, weighs 61 lb empty and about 700 lb full, fits users up to 6 feet, and has foam-filled walls and an insulated lid; no insulation rating is published for this size.
The chiller measures 18.6 by 16.4 by 20.4 inches, weighs 65 lb, uses R290 refrigerant and a 50 micron filter, and has no heating mode. In the box are the barrel, its lid, a UV cover, a drain spout to assemble, 3/4-inch NPT chiller ports, two 6-foot quick-connect hoses and the chiller.
Bought separately the parts cost $1,149.99 for the tub and $3,999.99 for the chiller; a Chiller Kit ($134.99), a Maintenance Kit ($179.99) and Water Stabilizer ($59.99) are sold as add-ons.
