Compare recurring ice expense with chiller purchase and electricity. The result is only as good as the entered ice amount and measured or documented chiller energy use.
Improve the estimate
- Use the ice calculator rather than guessing pounds.
- Measure chiller energy with a suitable meter or use a credible performance estimate.
- Include pump power, filters, sanitizer, repairs, and delivery.
- Compare the same number of sessions and the same target temperature.

Calculator note: Results are planning estimates, not medical advice or equipment guarantees. Verify assumptions against the manufacturer’s documentation and local electricity or water conditions.
