Please read before operating.
Power Supply Voltage
iCools can only be connected to the voltage marked on the machine. They are
manufactured as either 110v or 220v machines, but they are not multi voltage. The
applicable voltage is marked next to the main power switch. Using a different voltage
may cause severe damage.
All models can be used on both 50 Htz and 60 Htz AC supplies.
An Approved Earth Connection is Essential for Safe Operation. To ensure safe operation the
AC power connection you use must have an earth connection that complies with your local electrical safety
regulations.
Built in Safety Systems
Your iCool has many essential safety features to protect against such things as
*Alossofwaterow,
*Overheating of the system,
*Electrical shock risk.
If any such potentially dangerous situation should occur, in most cases your iCool will sound an alarm, shut itself
down and a red warning screen will appear to assist you to identify and correct the problem.
In the case of overheating, the main fans may continue to run for some time even after a shut down, until the
temperature is safely back to normal.
For the safety of users, any leakage of even a small amount of electrical current will instantly cause the Residual
Current Device to remove all electrical power from the entire system. The maximum leakage allowed is 30 milliamps
which is considered to be a generally harmless level.
Please Test the Earth Leakage Safety Device Regularly. The main power switch is also part of the
electrical safety circuit that can prevent the possibility of electric shock. It is essential to test this safety system each
time you use the iCool to make certain it is operating correctly. This takes only a few seconds.
To Test the Earth Leakage Safety Device: Turn on the main switch and then press the test button on the
switch body. If the safety system is working normally, pressing the test button will cause the main power switch to
shut off instantly. After a successful test, reset the main switch to ON to begin normal operation. If pressing the test
button fails to instantly shut off the power switch DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM untilyoucontactiCooloraqualied
electrician for advice.
Never Restart Without Identifying And Correcting any Fault. In the unlikely event that your system
shuts itself down for any reason, you must identify and correct the problem that has caused the safety system to
operate before allowing anyone to use the iCool
Electrical Power Connection. Connect the power cable provided with your iCool to a standard power outlet
capable of providing at least 20 amps in countries with a 220 V supply and 40 amps in countries with a 110 V supply.
Actually the iCool requires much less power than this for normal operation, however all heat pump compressor
motors need considerably more power for up to a minute or so each time they start up and this must be allowed for.
The TurboCool can be connected either by attaching a suitable approved plug or by direct wiring into an approved
electrical wall box. An isolation switch is reccommended if connecting to a wall box.

Advice About Water And Pools.
If you are using your TurboCool with an iCool brand spa pool , the pool is provided with a high quality spa water
pump especially designed for the purpose. The pumps we provide are resistant to chlorine and salt water at normal
concentrations, but the use of chemicals should be kept within the range normally recommended for swimming pools
to prolong the life of the pump and the titanium heat exchanger tanks inside the unit.
If You Are Providing Your Own Spa Pool we recommended that you use a pump of no more than 450
watts to circulate pool water to and from the iCool. High pressure spa jet pumps of more than 500 watts should not
be connected to the iCool because the very high pressure from such pumps could damage the water seals.
If high pressure water jets are required they must be connected to a separate water circuit and a separate
pumpthatisspecicallyforthemassagejets.DonotconnectHighpressurepoolpumpsorspajetpumpstothe
TurboCoolcirculationsystemasitwoulddamagethetitaniumheatexchangersandalsotheowratewouldbemuch
toofastforefcientcooling.TheTurboCoolmusthaveit’sownindependentpumpandplumbing.Highpressurejets
are not normally used in ice baths because they heat the water by injecting and circulating room air.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals. Never use bromide as it is highly corrosive to all materials and can cause irritation
to athletes eyes and skin. Bromide is unnecessary in cold pools because bacterial growth is much slower at low
temperatures. A small amount of chlorine is all that is needed to keep the water safe. Use standard pool test strips
to determine the amount needed. If the water is emptied after each session then no chemicals are needed.
The Pump Should Never Be Run Without Proper Water Flow. The main components of most pool
pumpsarelubricatedbythewaterow,thereforemajordamagecanoccurifthepumpisrunwithoutwater.To
protectthepump,youriCoolhasanautomaticwaterowmonitoringsystemthatwillshutthesystemdownandstop
thepumpifnowaterowsformorethan2minutes.
Priming The System With Water.
The pump must be primed with water before it can provide proper circulation. If your spa pool is level with or above
thepumpthenthereisgenerallynoneedtoprimethesystemasthewaterwillowbygravitytothepump.Ifwater
doesnotowaftermorethan2minutestheiCoolwillshutdowntoprotectthepumpagainstoverheating.
If your pump has a lint basket please ensure that it clean and that it is full of water before starting the pump.
Ifthewaterdoesnotbegintoowafterabout30seconds,stopthepumpandopenthelintbasket,llitwithwater
again, close the lid and start the pump again. This will normally provide enough suction to get the system primed
and circulating correctly.
iCool Spas With Built In Filtration Systems (optional extra). Some iCool spas and pools have built
incartridgeltrationsystems.Beforestartingthewatercirculatingpump,checkthatthelteriscleanandthatthe
lterhousingisfullofwater.Opentheairvalveonthelterhousingtoallowtrappedairtobereleasedandcloseit
assoonasasteadyowofwaterisobserved.
Keep Filters And Link Baskets Clean. The lint basket on pool pumps (if provided) traps any larger objects
thatmaygetsuckedbackfromthepoolanditshouldbeemptiedwhenevernecessary.Yourpools’ltercartridge
shouldberemovedandcleanedwheneverthepressureshownonthegaugeonthetopofthelterindicatesthat
thelterisbecomingclogged.Ifthereisnogaugeonyourmodel,unscrewthelidofthelterhousingandlookto
seeifthelteriscleanorcloggedwithdirt.IfthelterisnotcleanedtheneventuallytheTurboCoolwillshutdown
duetolowwaterow.
Check For Air Leaks.
Water should begin circulating within 2 minutes after the system pump is started. If it does not, the system will stop
the pump. If water does not circulate after 2 or 3 attempted starts, then there may be an air leak in either the pipes
fromthespaorthepipettingsorablockageinapipeorlter.Thismustbecorrected.
Limits to the Electric Shock Protection System The iCool residual earth leakage protec-
tion system can only protect against devices actually connected to the iCool. It can not protect against faults
in other unrelated electric devices in the area. All electric devices in any pool area must only be connected to
a power supply that has a residual earth leakage device either at the main switch board or on the device itself.
Never risk using unprotected electrical devices near water.

Understanding Water ow Problems
Thewaterowwarningscreenwilldisplayifthewater
owdoesnotbeginorifitfailsforanyreason.Running
theiCoolwithnowaterowcancauseseriousdamage
because the heat exchanger tanks will quickly freeze.
Frozen water expands considerably and this can cause
damage to the tanks. Lackofwaterowcanseriously
damage the pump as there would be no lubrication or
cooling from the water.
If you are absolutely certain that the system is
stopping because of a false or overly sensitive
waterowalarm,thereisaprovisiontoover
ride the automatic shut down, but please be
warned that onceyoudisarmtheowsafety
monitor,nothingwillstopthesystemevenifwaterisnotowing, Therefore this over ride function is only to be
used for short periods where it is essential to keep your system operating until the reason for the false alarm can
be determined and corrected.
Water Flow Can Also Stop If The Heat Exchanger Tanks are Frozen Solid.
If you set the temperature below about 7ºC or 45ºF it is occasionally possible in certain climatic conditions for the
heatexchangetanktofreezesolid.Thiswillblockmostoralloftheowofwater.Inordertocoolthepoolwaterto
these extremely low temperatures the system must cool to at least 5ºC below the set temperature and this takes it
very close to the temperature that water freezes solid. There is an anti freeze safety circuit, however it is sometimes
possible for the tanks to freeze in an area not covered by the protection sensors.
If the tanks freeze up, the system will stop to protect the tanks and the screen will sound an alarm and give advice.
Allow 30 minutes for the ice to melt and then set the temperature a little higher and restart. Normally settings above
8ºC or or 45ºF will not freeze the tanks in any conditions.
Safe Temperature Settings.
Following international safety reccomendations your iCool will not accept water temperature settings below 5ºC or
40ºF as this would put athletes using the system at risk of hypothermia.
The tanks can only freeze if your setting is below 7 to 8ºC and this can only happen in certain conditions. If your set
temperatureisabovethisthenitismuchmorelikelythatthesystemhasstoppedbecauseofalackofwaterow
causedbyeitherapipeorlterobstruction,oranairleakinthehosesorpipesfromthespapool,ortrappedairin
the system.
If there is a possibility that the heat exchanger tank is frozen, then you must allow the system to warm up for about
30 minutes to thaw the ice. Leave the power switched on so that the fans can operate if necessary to thaw out the
titanium tanks.
After thawing, set a new temperature no lower than 8 or 9ºC before restarting to prevent the tanks freezing again.
Automatic Operation of the Air Fans.
Your TurboCool is very powerful and is capable of removing up to 10,000 watts of heat from a pool per hour. To re-
moveheatfromthethe2powerfulheatpumpsintheTurboCoolithas2veryhighpoweredlinearowcoolingfans
that cool the condensers compressors and other components. At full power these fans can move 2200 cubic feet of
air per minute. During normal operation the fans will automatically change speed as required to maintain safe tem-
peraturesandhighwatercoolingefciency.Thefanswillbeatfullspeedwhentemperaturesarehighorthewater
iswarm.Tosaveelectricitythefanswillonlyoperateattheexactowrequired.Lowspeedalwaysbeginswhenever
power is applied to the iCool while in the cooling mode. There are no run time limitations on the fans and they use
very little power at low speed. In the heating mode, medium speed is set and locked.

Product Discription:
Designed Especially For Athlete Recovery Therapy and With Higher Power Efciency
Than Any Comparable Product:
iCools have become the most popular and widely used ice bath cooling and heating systems in the world for the
economicandefcientprovisionofaccurateautomatictemperaturecontrolformodernicebathrecoverytherapy
for athletes.
Designed and manufactured especially for large ice bath recovery and contrast therapy spas and pools, the
TurboCoolmodelprovidesupto10,000wattsofcooling(orheating)atthehighestpowerefciencyavailable.Itis
a high technology twin heat pump in a very compact single package, with 2 compressors and 2 heat exchangers in
separate circuits controlled by a digital power management system to minimise electricity use. The entire system
is fully automatic and is controlled and monitored via a modern colour touch screen user interface driving an
advanced digital controller.
Lowest Running Cost:
Using the latest heat pump technology the TurboCool can produce up to 10,000 watts of water chilling power yet it
uses only a maximum of 3000 watts in normal operation to do so. Furthermore, because the TurboCool is actually
two 5000 watt heat pumps in a single cabinet it can can operate from a normal 15 amp power outlet (220v models),
by digitally controlling the compressor starting sequences to avoid high startup loads. The built in Intelligent Digital
Power Management System, DPMS, (exclusive to iCool) means that your TurboCool can operate from a normal 15
amp power outlet if necessary. (30 Amps @ 110V in North America and Japan). This saves a lot of money on initial
installation costs, because most other chillers of this power need a special connection to 3 phase power, whereas
the TurboCool only requires single phase power.
This is new technology developed by iCool and has many advantages.
The Intelligent Control System Saves a Lot of Electricity.
Firstly, start up current is much lower because the built in digital control makes sure that the 2 systems never start
at exactly the same time, so it never exceeds the rating of a normal single phase power socket.
The second advantage is that the TurboCool can acurately provide the exact amount of cooling power actually
required to avoid waste. Both of the twin heat pumps run at full power for fast cooling, but at other times such as
over night and when the spa pool is not in heavy use, it automatically reduces power or even turns one of the heat
pumps off and that saves a lot of electricity. Only iCool has this power saving feature.
In Heating Mode Running Cost can be up to 65% Lower Than Typical Spa Heaters. In
heating mode (ICTurbo DualTemp model) the Turbo uses as much as 65% less electricity compared to a normal
electric element spa water heater, because it uses modern reverse cycle heat pump technology. It does not use
wasteful electric elements. So with power saving features in both cooling and heating modes the owner can save
a lot of money each year on electricity costs.
Standard Package Includes:
A Full Colour Touch Screen to control and monitor all functions.
(On request the touch screen can also display your club logo or graphics.)
Dual Titanium Heat Exchanger Tanks.
Simple industry standard connections for water In and water out.
Twin digitally controlled heat pump cooling systems in a single cabinet.
Enviromently friendly Eco Refrigeration Gas HR22 “Green Gas”.
Vibration isolation mountings.
Built in earth leak detection safety system.
Area Lighting controlled from the touch screen.
*As optional extra, a very convenient Wall Mounted Remote Control Touch Screen Panel is available.

Installation:
General Requirements:
Generally Turbos can be installed in much smaller spaces and much more easily than any comparable
equipment of similar cooling (or heating) capacity. Floor mounting is the simplest solution and this is included in the
standard price, however specially designed wall mounting or even ceiling mounting kits are available if required.
Ventilation Requirements:
Cold air is taken in from the front and the top of the unit, so these surfaces must be at least 200-300 mm from a wall
or obstruction. Hot air is expelled from the 2 long sides and these sides must be at least 200-300 mm from a wall
or obstruction. If installing more than one Turbo aligned to each other as shown in the illustration at
bottom left, they should be at least 500 mm apart. This spacing can be reduced if they are installed front to back as
shown in the illustration at bottom right.
Plumbing Requirements:
Just 2 standard 40mm PVC pool water pipes are required for each TurboCool/Spa installation for carrying water to
and from the spa. The TurboCool can be up to a maximum of 25 meters from the Spa Pool and it can be up to 5
metersaboveorbelowtheSpaPool,butnaturallythecloseritisinbothdistanceandlevelthehighertheefciency
will be.
The two PVC water pipes must be insulated with standard 90-100mm diameter (4”) insulation lagging to prevent
energy loss.

Installation:
Remote Control Touch Screen Option:
TurboCools are supplied either with a Touch Screen integrated into the front panel of the
machine, or ready wired for either single or double screen remote control panel.
If you ordered a Remote Touch Screen
Panel, your Turbo will have a special
multi pin cable socket on the top right
hand side at the back. Once the cable
provided with the remote panel is
plugged into this socket, all functions are
then controlled from the remote screen
and all temperature and systems data is
displayed on the remote screen.
The Remote panel is supplied with whatever length of data cable you require. If iCool is
installing your TurboCools the data cable may be directly wired instead of via a plug.

STEP 2 Carefully move the front panel away from the back panel until you can see the 3 cables that you must unplug
in order to mount the back panel to a wall.
STEP 3 Unplug the 3 cables as shown so that the front can be separated from the rear panel.
STEP 4 The rear panel has several holes that can be used for screwing to a wall. Select a good position where the
screen can be easily reached by operators and can be seen from the recovery spa.
STEP 5 Replace the 3 plugs as shown.
Pushthescreenpowerplugnumber2rmlyintothescreensothatitdoesnotcomeloose.
Take care when replacing plug number 1, the data cable for the screen, it has several small pins that must line up
correctly.
STEP 6 Replace the front panel, check that the cable from the screen box is plugged in to the TurboCool and test
that all operations are normal.
Mounting Your Remote Control Touch Screen on a Wall:MostiCoolusersndthatitisvery
convenient to have the remote touch screen mounted within the spa pool area for ease of operation so that the
information on the screen such as temperatures, operation functions and the session timer can be easily seen.
If you chose this option the remote cabinet can be mounted as shown below.

Designed to use standard 40mm swimming pool PVC piping. The iCool system is designed to
connectwiththeindustrystandard40mmswimmingpoolandspawaterpipesandttings.Anyregularpoolsupply
company can provide these.
Attach the water manifolds as shown. The water manifolds have been removed for safe shipping. Attach
thembyscrewingthemonastightasyoucanbyhand.Donotuseawrenchoryoumaydamagethettings.
Manifolds can be reversed if water pipe connections are required in the opposite direction, but the water always
owsintothebottommanifoldfromthepoolandoutfromthetopmanifoldbacktothepool.Standard“40mmPVC
Pressure”pipesshouldbeused.Donotusesmallerpipesortheowwillbetoorestricted.All pipework must be well
insulated. iCool can provide details of suppliers of ideal, easy to install, 90 mm diameter foam insulation.
Please make sure that these rubber “O” rings are in place or the connection will leak.
Electrical Connections: Because iCool equipment is shipped to many countries, your TurboCool is normally
not supplied with an AC power plug. You must connect the heavy duty power cable provided in a manner that is
legal and safe in your country. A 220 volt unit requires a minimum 15-20 amp single phase connection and a 110 volt
unit requires a minimum 30-40 amp connection. The safest and best way to connect your TurboCool is to a wall box
with an isolation switch, however, because the iCool also has an isolation safety switch and an earth leakage safety
device built in, you can also simply attach a power plug and plug that into a standard wall socket.
Connecting the Pump: Depending on your order, on the rear of your TurboCool there will either be a standard
AC power socket or a splash proof connection box to connect the water circulating pump. If it has a power socket
you can simply plug the pump in. Otherwise follow the connections as set out below.
YoumustconnectthepumphereortheTurboCoolcannotprovidesafetymonitoringorcontrolit’sfunction.
The BROWN wire is the ACTIVE
The BLUE wire is the NEUTRAL
The GREEN wire is the EARTH
This is the main power cable.
The water pump must be connected to the
waterproof switch box on the rear panel of the
TurboCool. Inside the switch box are three wires
andsuitablescrewconnectorttings
Pump Size: If you are supplying your own pool pump it must not be more powerful
than 450-500 watts. Never run a high power spa jet pump in to your iCool. If you
need massage jets you must use a seperate plumbing circuit for them. Higher power
pumps, such as standard swimming pool pumps, can damage the heat exchangers
and plumbing seals in your TurboCool. Please contact iCool for the correct advice on
your particular pump installation if you are unsure.
Mains Wiring Code: iCool uses the international colour code for AC electrical wiring. The BROWN wire is the
ACTIVE, the BLUE wire is the NEUTRAL and the GREEN wire is the EARTH.

Page 10
All of the functions of your TurboCool are controlled by the colour touch screen.
Once you have entered your required settings, operation is fully automatic.
Your TurboCool will cool (or heat if you have a dual temp model) to your set temperature and maintain that
temperature as long as the system is turned on. There are a number of essential safety functions that are
constantly monitored and the system will take automatic action if a safety issue occurs.
STEP 1: Turn on the main power on the side of the cabinet.
If you have a remote control touch screen panel you can turn the main power on and off by using the red emer-
gency stop button on the panel. Push in for OFF and twist in the direction of the arrows to restore power. Other-
wise use the Main Power Switch on the side of the TurboCool.
Your iCool has a full colour high-resolution touchscreen that eliminates all
switches and provides complete control over your iCool system in a
user-friendly and intuitive manner. It also provides a substantial amount of
additional information to assist you.
Whenyouturnonthepowerforthersttimethesystemwillloadthelatest
software from its memory card and run a diagnostic self test routine. This will
take about 20 seconds and the screen will be black for about 10 seconds.
Touch the WELCOME screen anywhere and the Main Operating Screen will appear.
The status bar will ash white while the software loads and the system is checked.
TheSTATUSLIGHTSbarabovethetouchscreenwillchangecolourorashtogiveaclearindicationofeach
function.
While the software is loading the system conducts an automatic function and safety check, during this time the
statuslightbarwillashwhite.
Once the software is loaded and tested a WELCOME screen will appear. If you requested a personal logo screen
with your order, a screen that looks similar to the examples shown below will appear instead, displaying the
artwork you requested, Otherwise the standard iCool welcome screen will appear. (bottom left)
Touching the WELCOMEscreen(oryourpersonallogoscreen)anywherewillstopthelightbarashingandshow
a steady white light to indicate that the systems check was successful and that your iCool is now ready to use.
What the Colours Mean: The Status Bar lights glow BLUE when only the pump is running, GREEN when the
cooling system is running correctly and RED when the heating system is running correctly.
Operating your Turbo:
The Following Pages Contain Very Detailed Instructions.................but once you are fully
familiar with all functions you can then simply refer to the convenient single page quick start manual provided.

Page 11
The Main Operating Screen (above left) appears when you touch the WELCOME screen. It provides many options
which are covered in detail later in this manual,
To quickly start the system you can simply accept the automatically inserted water temperature setting of 15ºC.
The two most commonly used temperatures for ice bath sessions are pre set for your convenience. 15ºC is inserted
automatically on start up and you can just accept this and continue. If you choose “Change Settings” then the
Temperature Selection Screen appears (top right) and 10ºC is automatically set.
If you require a different temperature then after touching the “Change Settings” button, the screen will change to
the Temperature Selection Screen with 10ºC will be inserted automatically. Then
you have the option of changing to any temperature you require by simply touching
the up and down arrow buttons.
As you make changes the new pool water temperature setting will appear on the
bottom left-hand of the screen in the blue window marked ”Selected Temperature”.
The right-hand side of this screen shows the outside air temperature.
Once the pool water temperature you want your iCool to cool to is selected, touch the “Start”
button (next to the up down arrows). This takes you back to the Main Operating Screen.
If you did not need to use the Temperature Selection Screen and accepted 15ºC, then you will still be seeing
the Main Operating Screen.
NOTE: The temperatures can also be displayed in Fahrenheit. This is explained on page 14 of this Manual.
STEP 3: Start the Water Pump.
Touch the ”Start Pump” button. The pump will begin operating and water should begin circulating within
a minute or so.
Please note! When you touch the main buttons they change from ”Start” buttons to ”Stop” buttons
and can then be used to Stop that function if required.
Water MUST be owing correctly before you touch the “Start System” button.
Thewaterowispresettoanoptimumowofbetween100-200litresoraround25-50gallonsperminute.This
allowstimefortheheatexchangerstooperateatmaximumcoolingefciencyandmaintainstheproperpressure.
Pool water is completely changed approximately every 10 to 15 minutes in a 6 person spa.
Do not touch the ”Start System” buttonuntilyouaresurethatwaterisowingsmoothly.Ifwaterdoesnotow
smoothlywithintwotothreeminutes,pleasechecktheplumbing,orifusinganoptionalltrationsystemcheckthat
thereiswaterinthelterhousingandnoairtrapped.Ifyourpumphasadebrislterbasket,checkthebasket.
Ifwaterdoesnotowsmoothlyafter2-3minutesthesystemwillsoundan alarm and shut the pump off. A red
warningscreenwillappearwithinformationabouthowtocorrectthewaterowproblem.
STEP 2: Select the Required Temperature.

Page 12
Now that you have pre set your desired temperature and started the circulating pump, the touch screen
should look like the picture above. (of course your temperatures may be different). Notice that the pump
button will have changed from “Start” to ”Stop” You can use the same buttons to start and stop the pump
and system at any time.
Now, touch the ”Start System” button and the cooling cycle will begin. The water will be cooled to your preset
temperature and the system will then cycle to maintain it at that temperature automatically for as long as the main
power is turned on. The Digital Power Management System will reduce electricty cost where possible.
Ifyoudonotheartheheatpump’scompressormotorsstart. Do not touch the ”Start System” button
again, it will start automatically after a 3 minutes safety period elapses to avoid overloading the compressors. This
only occurs if you try to restart the system again within 3 minutes of a previous attempt or if you inadvertently touch
thebuttonmore than once. Normally youwill hear the rst heat pumpstartimmediately and the second one2
minutes later if more cooling power is needed. This is automaticly controlled by sensors.
Lights on the right hand side of the TurboCool indicate if either heat pump 1, or 2, or both are running. If the
temperature difference between the air and pool water is low then the TurboCool may only start one compressor to
save electricity. The system inserts a 2 minute delay between each one starting to avoid power overloads.
HEATING MODE
If your Turbo is the Dual Temp Model then, it is capable of either heating or cooling the water automatically to any
preset temperature used in athlete recovery sessions. To use the HEATING mode you must switch the HEAT/COLD
changeover switch on the right hand panel of the TurboCool to HEAT.
Do not operate the HEAT/COLD switch while the iCool is running.Turnoffthemainpowerrst,thenchangethe
switch position and turn the main power back on. In HEAT mode the fans will immediately lock on to medium speed
whichisthemostefcientsettingforheating.AgreenlightonthebottomrighthandoftheTurbocabinetwilllightto
indicate that heating mode (reverse cycle) is selected. In COLD mode the fans will vary as required.
To Operate in the Heating Mode.
Once you have selected HEAT at the HEAT/COLD switch on the side of the iCool, the operation is essentially the
same as for cooling, except that you will need to select a warmer temperature as required. Turn on the power and
wait for the WELCOME screen as usual. After you touch the WELCOME screen the Main Operating Screen will
appear as usual, however, the auto pre set of 15ºC will need to be changed to a suitable warm temperature for
typical athlete contrast therapy, normally between 36 and 40ºC. Simply touch the “Change Settings” button and
the change settings screen will appear. Use the UP DOWN arrows to set the hot temperature you require, then
touch START to go back to the Main Operating Screen. Then, everything is the same as in the cooling mode.
START the PUMP,checkthatthewaterisowingsmoothlyandthenSTART the SYSTEM. The STATUS BAR
above the screen will turn RED to indicate that the Turbo is heating.
Temperature Safety Limitations
For the safety of users, you cannot set temperatures below 5°C or above 45°C (40°F - 112°F) because of the
dangers of hypothermia in the case of an unattended athlete using an ice bath, or above 45°C/112°F in the heating
mode because of the risk of scalding. These temperature limits have been set after wide consultation with the
sporting industry around the world. There are no demonstratedbenetsinusingwatertemperaturelowerthan5°C
orabove45°Candthereforetheriskofdoingsoisnotjustied.
STEP 4: You are Now Ready to Start the Automatic Cooling System.

The”Pool Temperature” window shows the actual water temperature returning from the pool. This may
vary slightly to the temperature measured in the pool because, for safety reasons, the electronic sensors
are in the cooling unit, not in the pool. The sensors accurately read the actual temperature of the water
that is returning to the pool. The actual pool water temperature may be slightly different depending
on your setup, however the temperature of water returning from the TurboCool is always accurately
maintained within 1 degree of your setting. If the pool temperature is a bit different you can simply add an
offset amount to compensate when selecting your required temperature.
The “Heat Pump Temperature” window shows the temperature inside the cabinet. If this exceeds
70°C or 158°F the system will shut down, an alarm will sound and a warning screen will appear. This
could happen in extremely hot conditions or if the unit is covered by an object such as a towel or anything
thatpreventsproperairow,orifitisoperatedinaroomwithpoorventilation.
The “Outside Temperature” window shows the current air temperature around the TurboCool. It is not
desirable to operate this system in temperatures above 42°C or 108° F. If the reading exceeds this you
needtomovethesystemtoacoolerareaorimprovetheairow.
The “Preset Temperature” windows always shows your selected temperature. This is the temperature
the water will be automatically cooled (or heated) to and maintained at.
“Change Setting”
You can change your preset temperature at any time by touching the ”Change Setting” button, this will
take you to the Change Settings Screen. From here you proceed as described on page 11.
“Lights”
Some iCool models have convenient area lighting which is very helpful if the area around your installation
is not well lit. Touching the ”Lights” button takes you to a simple screen that has both ON and OFF light
buttons. When you touch the ON button the area lights illuminate and a red dot beside the icon indicates
the selected setting. Simply touch OFF to turn the lights off. If the lights are activated they do not turn off
when system initiates a safety shutdown. This allows an extra measure of safety by continuing to light
the area even if a fault has been detected.
“Help”Your iCool has an extensive built-in electronic help system with detailed and illustrated helpful
information on many important subjects to do with the operation of your iCool
Touching the help button will take you to the main help menu which has eight menu buttons covering all
of the important topics you are ever likely to need assistance with.
When you touch the menu button covering a topic, the screen will change to a series of pages covering
that subject. Use the buttons to move between the pages
Use the HOME button to come back to the Main Operating Screen.
Occasionally the help program can cause a computer crash. If this happens simply restart the iCool and
normal operation will be restored.
More Details about The Main Operating Screen.
IN AN EMERGENCY you can stop all functions immediately by touching the “ALL STOP”
button on the touch screen, or by hitting the EMERGENCY STOP BUTON if you have a
remote control panel. You can also remove all power at the main safety switch on the side
of the TurboCool cabinet. Please make sure all of your users understand this!

“Back 1”
YoucanipforwardorbackwardsfrompagetopageusingtheBACKbuttononthe
right-hand side of the help screens or you can return to be main help menu page at any time by
touching the HOME button.
“All Stop”
There are several ways to stop the system and close it down.
1. You can stop the cooling system only by touching the “Stop System” button, in this case
the pump will continue to run,
2. You can stop to pump at any time by touching the “Stop pump”button. Stopping the
pump while the System is running also automatically stops the Cooling (or Heating) System
because it can not run safely without water.
3 .Alternatively you can stop everything by touching the ”All Stop”.button
If you use the”All Stop” button the fans may continue to run for a short time to cool the cabinet.
Display the pool temperature at full screen size.
If you touch the number in the pool temperature window
on the Main Operation Screen for a few seconds the
screen will change to a full-screen display of the pool
temperature. (shown here at right)
This is useful if you wish to monitor the system from a
distance.
The pre-set temperature and the outside temperature
continue to be displayed in smaller windows for your
reference.To return to the main operating screen touch

Systems Preferences
Available System Preferences
Touching the “Home” button will take you to a screen that will give you access to the
SYSTEMS SETTINGS that allow you to customise certain settings to your preference.
Optimum settings are automatically selected so there is normally no need to use this
feature.
Main Cooling Fan Speed
This allows you to set the main cooling fans to either Normal or
Quiet mode. Generally you should always leave it in the Normal
mode which is fully automatic and allows the system to control the
fanspeedtogivetheverybestefciency.
Temperature Display scale.
This can be set to either Centigrade or Fahrenheit and changes all
of the displays throughout the entire system. The iCool normally
reads in Centigrade as this is the world standard. It can convert the
display to ºF if required, however due to rounding off calculations
between Cº and Fº there may be minor differnces in the Fº display,
however the system always holds the water temperature to within 1ªC.
Sound Level.
The Sound level adjusts the sounds made when touching the screen and by the alarms. Normally it should be left
on high to assist with settings and to make sure alarms are heard. There are three settings High, Medium and Low.
A red dot indicates which setting is selected in each of the available settings.

Set Main Clock
To set the clock touch the ”Set Main Clock” button on the timing functions screen and the time setting
displayonthebottomrightofthescreenwillbeginashing.Youmustseteachnumberwhileitisashing
by using the up down and left right keys. Once you stop using these keys for more than a few seconds
thedisplay willstopashing andthetimeshowing isautomaticallyset intothesystemandtheclock
begins operating.The iCool clock operates in the universal 24-hour time style.
Set Count down
This allows you to accurately control the immersion times of athletes and to repeat those times as often
as needed. This is an essential part of successful cryo recovery therapy and is just as important as
maintaining accurate and consistent temperatures, which of course your iCool does perfectly.
The session timer is set by touching the ”Set Count down” button. The numbers on the setting screen in
thebottomright-handcornerareminutesandseconds.Theywillbegintoashandyoucanusetheleft,
right and up, down arrows to change the minutes and seconds. Once you have
set the time you want your athletes to remain in the bath, touching the”Display
Countdown Full Screen” button will take you to the main session timer
screen screen illustrated below. This screen allows you to see the countdown
from a distance and also to control it in various convenient ways. The current
pool and outside temperature will also be displayed.
The count down can be set for once only, or it can repeat automatically as
many times as you like. This is particularly convenient if you have a number of athletes using the same
poolatthesametime.Thesystembeepsforeachofthelastvesecondsattheendofeachcountdown
to warn the athletes to get ready to get either in or out of the pool and pauses for several seconds to allow

Locking Your iCool System to Prevent Tampering
Your iCool has an electronic lock system. You should keep this a secret known only to authorised
operators.
iCool Systems have attractive user interfaces, this makes them easy to use, but the downside is that
untrained people often like to play with the colourful touchscreens.This can upset all your
settings and even cause an unintended shutdown.
To lock the screen so that no further inputs can be made, touch and hold the
iCool icon on the main run screen for more than 10 seconds (you can only lock
from this main screen).
A picture of a lock will appear.
When ever this lock is visible it is not possible to make any inputs or to change
screens.
To unlock the system and returned to normal, repeat the procedure. Touch and
hold the iCool icon for more than 10 seconds. The lock will disappear and all functions will return to normal
Intelligent power management saves electricity automatically
AllTurboCoolsarettedwithafullyautomaticintelligentpowermanagementsystemthatmanagesthedualheat
pumps to minimise electricity use. It senses pool and room temperature and other parameters and provides only
the cooling or heating power that is actually needed at any point and closes down one of the two built in heat pumps
completely when it is not required. This cuts power use by up to half. Compared to other comparable systems it
offers large savings during long hold over periods such as over night or weekends, while still maintaing your set
temperature.
You may notice that the fans change speed and the heat pump compressors start and stop at various times. This
is a normal function of the power management system as it optimises the operation for best performance and
economy.

Page 17
Trouble shooting:
If the status bar light on top of the iCool turns Red when you touch the “Start System”
button.
This means that the switch on the side of the TurboCool is turned to the HEAT mode. (Dual Temp models only)
If you intended to cool your pool then shut down the main power to the TurboCool and turn the switch to the COLD
position and restart.
If your screen freezes or fails to respond.
As with all computers and computer controlled devices it is possible that occasionally the system could freeze due to
dataorsoftwareconicts.YouriCoolhas2computersthatmonitorandcommunicatewitheachother.Occasionally
a data error can cause them to stop communicating. Just like your home computer you can restore normal function
by restarting the iCool by turning the main power off and then back on again. This reloads the software and runs a
diagnostic routine. If this does not restore normal operation, contact iCool for advice.
In most cases if the screen freezes while the iCool is running normally, the main computer will still carry on running
the system and monitoring the safety features but you will not be able to change anything and the displayed
temperatures will not update. You can either allow it to keep running if that is more convenient, or you can restore
the system to normal operation by switching off the main power and re starting.
If the iCool shuts down repeatedly and displays a “No Water” Red Warning Screen
To protect the pump and the Titanium heat exchanger tanks, the system will not allow operation unless the water
owscorrectly.Ifwaterdoesnotowsmoothlyorifthereisairtrappedinthesystemformorethan2minutesthe
safety system will direct a shut down. Please refer to Page 5 for a full explanation and advice on how to correct this.
If the iCool shuts down and displays a “System Too Hot” Red Warning Screen
Your TurboCool is very powerful and can remove as much as 10,000 watts of heat per hour from your pool. Naturally
this heat has to be removed into the air surrounding the system. The powerful internal fans can normally handle
thiswithease,howeveriftheairowaroundtheiCoolisrestrictedsothattheheatcannotescape,ortheoutside
airtemperature is more than 45ºC, eventually the system will reach the limit of it’ssafe operating range. If the
temperature inside the cabinet reaches 70ºC the safety system will shut it down, sound an alarm and display the
warning screen. Make sure that the fan inlets and the hot air outlets on the TurboCool are not covered or restricted
andthattheareahasagoodowoffreshair.Onveryhotdayswhentheairtemperureismorethan45ºCitmay
not be possible to run the system at full power due to the excessive heat.
