Edge Tub Setup and Takedown Instructions
Setup
Detailed setup videos can be found here.
1. Unbox your Chiller and Tub. We recommend keeping the Chiller box for future
transportation needs.
2. Choose your location. Select a flat and smooth surface for the Tub and Chiller that is free
from objects that could potentially puncture or damage the bottom of the tub. A water
source and 120v power source should be accessible. Our optional protection mat can be
used to protect the bottom of the tub and our containment mat can capture any spillage
when getting in or out of the tub. We recommend setting the tub up in a sheltered area
if being set up outdoors for an extended period of time for longevity of your product.
If using the optional protection or containment mat, first place the mat down in the
desired location and set the deflated Tub on top. Remove the Storage Straps and set
aside. Unfold the Tub in the desired orientation.
3. Install the Valve Fittings to the Tub. Ensure there is an O-Ring in place on the elbow side
of the fitting. Replace if not present or leaking will occur. The Connection Ring should be
screwed onto the Tub Fitting by rotating it clockwise until hand tight. Do not tighten with
tools. The Valve Fittings should be oriented as shown (see image).
4. Inflate the Tub. Inflate the Tub using the included Double Action Air Pump, ensuring that
the Inflation Hose is connected to the “Inflate” side of the pump (see image). Open the
Inflation Valve Cap on the Tub by rotating counterclockwise. When inflating the Tub,
check to ensure that the Inflation Valve Pin is in the depressed (out) position or the air
will be released after the Inflation Hose is detached (see image). The Inflation Hose
connects to the Inflation Valve with a quarter turn clockwise to attach, and a quarter
turn counterclockwise to detach. Inflate until the gauge reads 10 PSI. Do not over inflate
or product damage will occur. When done inflating, replace the Inflation Valve Cap with
a clockwise turn.
5. Install the External Water Strainer. First remove the protective Chiller Fitting Caps by
rotating counterclockwise. Then, install the Inner Water Strainer by turning clockwise
onto the red “Inlet” fitting on the Chiller. Ensure the Strainer O-ring near the Chiller body
is in place (see image). The Water Strainer Enclosure fits over the Inner Water Strainer
and should be tightened until hand tight and the enclosure is flush with the Chiller body.
6. Connect the Chiller to the Tub. Connect the water hoses to the Tub Valve Fittings. Ensure
that there is a Hose Gasket in place inside each end of the four threaded hose
connections; if there is not, place a gasket to avoid leaking (this will need to be done on
first setup and if gasket becomes lost or damaged). The green “Water In” fitting on the

Tub should connect to the green “Outlet” on the Chiller. The red “Water Out” fitting on
the Tub should connect to the red “Inlet” on the Chiller. To tighten, rotate the
connection nut clockwise. The threads should tighten easily and smoothly. If resistance
is felt immediately, try attaching the hose again. Hand tighten until resistance is felt.
Please Note: the hose fittings should be hand-tightened only; do not use tools.
Overtightening may cause leaking or damage.
7. Fill the Tub. Check that the Chiller Drain Cap and hoses are in place and there is a filter in
the Water Filter Housing. Ensure the plastic film has been removed from the filter. First,
fill the Water Filter Housing with water and ensure O-Ring is in place on the Lower Water
Filter Housing. Install by turning right if facing the back of the Chiller until hand tight. Do
not use the filter wrench to tighten the water filter housing. It is only for loosening.
The tub can now be filled with water up to the “Fill Line” level. Overfilling may cause
water to overflow from the tub for some users, though you may fill to your preference.
8. Open valves. Once the Tub has been filled, confirm the Tub Valve Fittings are in the open
(parallel) position. Ensure this step has been completed to prevent damage to Chiller,
and the valves are always in the open (parallel) position any time you turn your unit on.
9. Power on the Chiller. Plug the Chiller into a standard 120v grounded power supply with
15 amp minimum circuit and test the GFCI functionality. To perform the test, first press
“Test” on the power plug. The red light should turn off. Now press “Reset” and the red
light should turn back on (see image). Do not proceed if this test fails, and contact
support for assistance. Place the plug in an elevated position off the ground and away
from water. Do not handle with wet hands. You may now turn on the Chiller by toggling
the power switch on the fan side of the unit and pressing the “Power On” button the
display screen.
The Chiller may take up to 2-3 minutes to purge air from the system. Once this has been
completed, water will flow from the “Water In” fitting on the Tub and the unit will begin
cooling or heating. If the “FL” (Flow) error appears, turn off the unit and repeat this step.
10. Set your temperature. To change the temperature set point, press the “F” key once and
then use the up or down arrow keys to set your desired temperature. Press the “F” key
once more to confirm the setting. Your Tub will reach minimum or maximum
temperature in about 2.5 hours depending on ambient temperature and set point. Child
lock can be set by pressing and holding both the “Up” and “Down” arrow keys
simultaneously until a beep is heard and a lock appears on the screen.
11. Startup water sanitation. Prior to use, the water should be treated with the startup
sanitizer dose. The startup dose is below and should be used any time the water is
replaced in the Tub.
a. Add 60cc (2 measuring spoons) of Oxidizer into water
b. Wait 15 minutes
c. Add 20cc (⅔ measuring spoon) of Sanitizer into water

d. Wait 15 minutes before entry into Tub
12. Cover your tub. Finally, put the cover on if the Tub will not be immediately used, and
secure the four Locking Corner Buckles. Note that the factory combination code for the
Locking Corner Buckles is 0-0. See “Setting Buckle Code” video here for instructions on
how to change the combination code.
Enjoy your Edge Tub!
Takedown
Detailed takedown videos can be found here.
1. Turn the Chiller off. Turn the Chiller off by toggling the Power Switch on the fan side of
the unit.
2. Close the valves. Turn the Tub Valve Fittings to the closed (parallel) position (see image).
3. Drain the tub. It is now time to drain the Tub. There are two methods that can be
utilized: Option (a) is best used outdoors and option (b) is best used for controlled
draining of the tub.
a. For Option A, Disconnect the red “Water In” hose from the Chiller by rotating the
Hose Connection Fitting counterclockwise. Direct the hose to the desired area for
drainage and open the valve. Water will flow out of the hose until it reaches the
Lower Water Fitting. The remaining water can be removed by turning the tub
over.
b. For Option B, Disconnect both hoses from the Tub by rotating the hose
connection fitting counterclockwise. The red “Inlet” hose from the Chiller should
be placed inside the tub as shown (see image). The green “Outlet” hose from the
Chiller should be directed to the desired location for drainage and the Chiller can
be turned back on. The Chiller will pump water out until the Tub has been
drained down to the top of the inlet on the water hose. The tub can be slightly
tipped as the water level gets low to remove the last bit of water from the Tub.
Be sure to turn off the Chiller immediately when the Tub has been drained to
avoid damaging the Chiller.
4. Disconnect the hoses. Once the Tub is drained, the hoses can be disconnected from the
Tub and Chiller by rotating the hose connection fittings counterclockwise, and the Chiller
can be unplugged.
5. Dry the Tub. The Tub should now be dried inside and out (including bottom) with a towel
to prevent mildew from developing.
6. Deflate the Tub. Remove the Inflation Valve Cap with a counterclockwise turn. Press the
Inflation Valve Pin to allow the air to be released. The pressurized air will be released

aggressively and loudly so don’t be startled! Remove the remaining air by attaching the
Inflation Hose to the “Deflate” side of the Double Action Hand Pump. When deflating
the Tub, check to ensure that the Inflation Valve Pin is in the depressed (out) position or
the tub will partially reinflate after the Inflation Hose is detached (see image). Connect
the Inflation Hose to the Inflation Valve with a quarter turn clockwise to attach. Deflate
the Tub using the hand pump until all air has been removed and remove the inflation
hose with a quarter turn counterclockwise. Replace the Inflation Valve Cap with a
clockwise turn. The Tub Valve Fittings should be removed by rotating the Connection
Ring counterclockwise.
7. Fold the Tub. The Tub can now be folded for storage. First fold the branded “Edge Theory
Labs” panel of the Tub inward, and allow the end sides of the tub to fold towards the
center. The back side of the Tub can now be folded over the branded side of the tub so
that the tub is now flat. Fold the right side of the tub towards the center, with the crease
being just towards the center of the right Water Fitting, and repeat on the left side. You
should now have a tri-folded Tub. Hold the tri-folded Tub with one hand, and with the
other, place the Storage Straps under the tub. Fasten the Storage Straps and tighten (see
images).
8. Pack the Tub. Place the Tub, Cover, Hoses, and Double Action Air Pump into the
backpack. This is best done by starting with the Cover, then Tub, then hoses, and finally
Double Action Air Pump.
9. Drain the Chiller. First, remove the Chiller Drain Cap. Then, unscrew and empty the
Lower Water Filter Housing. Then, unscrew the External Water Strainer. The unit can be
tipped slightly back to remove water inside the Chiller. Once drained, replace the Chiller
Drain Cap and Lower Water Filter Housing. Finally, replace the protective Chiller Fitting
Caps on the Inlet/Outlet connections.
You are now ready to take your adventure on the road!
