Know What You're Buying
Full specifications, what's in the box, and everything you need to plan your install.
Penguin's standard water chillers ship without a pump. This is the package that finishes the job — a matched Danner Mag Drive pump, the right tubing, and the adapters to connect it all.
Pick your pump size and tubing run and it arrives as one bundle at a 10% discount against buying the parts separately. Penguin ships tubing in a single continuous piece up to 100 ft wherever possible, so you are not joining lengths.
Choosing your pump
- Danner 5 (500 GPH) — for the 1/2 HP chillers on shorter runs.
- Danner 9.5 (950 GPH) — a safe middle choice for 1/2 HP and 1 HP units.
- Danner 18 (1800 GPH) — for 1 HP and 1.5 HP units, or longer tubing runs.
- Danner 24 (2400 GPH) and 36 (3600 GPH) — for the largest units and commercial installs. Use 1 in. tubing with these two.
Longer runs cost you flow. If your chiller will sit more than about 25 ft from the tub, size up a pump.
Important — this is not for the Cold Therapy Chiller
The pump in this package is not intended for cold therapy applications. The Cold Therapy Chiller has its own pump built in and does not need this. If you are setting up a plunge with a Cold Therapy Chiller, choose the Install & Filter Kit option on that product instead.
