Cooling or Heating
The Turbo Range is the only product available designed
specifically for efficient automatic chilling or heating of
large ice baths. Depending on the model chosen, the
Turbos can cool or heat up to 10,000 L of water across the
entire range used in modern recovery pools from 5ºC to
45ºC (heating available only in Hot or Dual Temp models).
Twin Engine Design
Each Turbo unit is a revolutionary & unique twin engine
design, actually 2 completely separate heat pump systems
built inside a single cabinet. It is very reliable & can continue
to operate even if one side is out of service for any reason.
The biggest advantage of the twin engine design is that it
saves a lot of electricity compared to ordinary chillers.
Smart Control & ONE TOUCH
All models feature an attractive 15 inch Full HD Touch
Screen with the latest advancements in automation that
can be mounted anywhere you need. The modern user
interface has been completely redesigned to provide
fully automatic start up and operation and displays all
temperatures plus lots of useful information. Just set the
temp, touch START, and that’s it!
The Turbo machine is designed to provide both cooling and heating for large recovery pools & spa baths.
It is now the most popular machine in the world for this purpose. A large number are already operating
successfully in stadiums, colleges & sporting clubs in many countries, becoming the world standard
for commercial ice baths. They can produce an extremely impressive chilling & heating performance of
moving either 15,000 or 20,000 watts of heat per hour (depending on the model) from a compact easy to
install package that takes up much less space & weights a lot less than any comparable machine.
What’s new in Series 5
Premium Quality
All metal work is manufactured in Australia from marine
grade aluminum with a double layer of epoxy paint coating
for long life durability. The 2 heat exchanger tanks are
made from the highest quality Titanium tubing, which
means they can withstand all normal pool chemicals and
even salt water. However, we recommend against using
highly corrosive bromide based chemicals.
The two powerful rotary compressors in each machine are
manufactured by the highly respected Mitsubishi company.
Cooling air fans are manufactured in Europe and designed
for long service life and low noises. Electronic components
and systems software are designed and manufactured in
Australia.
24/7 Operation
The Turbo is built to be always on and always ready every
day of the year in any home or commercial applications.
It can operate for a single session or around the clock for
years on end automatically. The sophisticated on board
computer will manage the electrical power usage to the
absolute minimum needed to maintain your desired
temperature while providing large savings in running costs
compared to ordinary chillers.

Unboxing
We strongly recommend keeping the original packaging of
your unit for as long as your warranty lasts. It can be used if you
ever re-locate the machine and offers you peace of mind for
transport.
Turbo and Team Recovery (TR) Pools are delivered in wooden
transport crates or pallets. The timber we use is approved for
export. Generally a forklift will be required to move and place
the pools. iCool can provide as much technical support as you
need to place and connect your set up.
To unpack your Turbo, unscrew the bolts from the wooden
crate starting from the top panel, then the sides. First thing to
note is to make sure nothing is missing.
Mounting Options
For mounting on a concrete floor it is OK to use the smaller
feet that are supplied as standard with the Turbo. However, we
recommend that you replace these feet with the larger vibration
isolating feet if mounting on a wooden floor or on wall or
ceiling brackets. The Turbo is provided with special slots in the
strengthening beams on the bottom of the unit in to which the
attachment bolt of these special rubber feet can be secured. If
using the special feet then the small feet should be removed.
Maximum lift for the standard pump is 3 meters, however, plus
or minus 5 meters or more can be achieved with an optional
pump.
Prepare for set up
Outdoor Operation
The best location for maximum performance is outside the building
in an area with good fresh ventilation. The Turbo should be protected
from direct rain, hail, snow and sun. Never install a Turbo in direct
sunlight which can add a large amount of heat to the system and
reduce performance and increase the running cost. It only requires
reasonable over head cover such as a veranda or an awning to
prevent this. A small roof about double the size of the Turbo but with
no walls works very well too. The Turbo is made from marine grade
aluminium so it will generally last much longer than ordinary steel
cabinets, however, direct sunlight can damage the paint finish over
time.
Your TR pool must be placed on a uniformly flat and level surface.
Be sure to place the pool on an area that can support the weight of
the bath when full (water is very heavy, 1KG per Liter). It is always
recommended that you seek the advice of a qualified engineer or
the local council if unsure. If eventual servicing is required for any
particular reasons, please also make sure that you have easy access
to all accessories. We suggest that you closely consider the required
location for your ice bath and that you account for drainage of your
pool and attachment point to drain the surplus water, prior to filling
your bath.
Indoor Operation
When operating Turbo indoors then the air flow in the room must be
enough to carry away up to 15,000 watts of heat. Otherwise it will
reach unsafe temperatures that will cause the inbuilt safety system
to operate and shut down the unit. The airflow must be equivalent to
at least 4000 cubic feet per minute through the enclosed area.
Extreme Weather Exposure
If using your machine in extreme cold temperatures, never allow the
water to freeze or serious damage could occur that is not covered
under warranty. If freezing conditions are expected, empty the water,
add anti-freeze to the water or turn on the heating mode if your
model has that function to keep water above freezing.
On very hot climates over 45ºC, it may not be possible to run the
system at full power due to the excessive heat. If the temperature
inside the unit exceeds 70ºC, the over heat safety circuit will operate
and shut the machine down.
To make setup as smooth as possible, please follow
carefully the instructions outlined below. Do not start
your Turbo until you have read this entire owner’s
manual. Improper installation or operation may result
in equipment damage not covered by warranty.

A drip tray is recommended to catch
condensation. Condensation occurs mostly
in the heating mode (more than in cooling
mode). The amount depends on the humidity
in the air.
Drip Tray
Other key points
Water Condensation
Please note that your unit is a very powerful chiller and
condensation will occur inside of your machine and you may
notice a small amount of water at the base. Condensation is
water from the air being condensed as ice or water on the very
cold surfaces of the iCool’s machinery. This is more evident in
high humidity where the air contains a lot of water.
Access Limitations
Please observe the overall dimensions shown elsewhere in
this document to ensure that the pools can fit through the
building’s openings.
Note that some pipes and fittings may protrude slightly
outside the dimensions of the stainless steel frames. This must
be considered when calculation access.
It may be permissible to remove some pipes and replace
them after gaining access. Please ask our advice and always
thoroughly check any pipework refitted for any leaks.
Please read this manual in full before starting or commencing installation. iCool can provide as
much technical support as you need to place and connect your set up. Simply contact us for more
information or for any specific request regarding your set up.

13
Overhead protection from
direct sun and heavy rain
is essential.
Min 300mm For Plumbing and ventilation.
Good Airflow
Please ensure your Turbo is placed at a minimum distance of
300mm on all sides away from any obstacle, wall or structure to
allow proper airflow. Please also make sure it is kept away from
heat sources of any description. You must provide appropriate
ventilation to keep the machine within a safe operating
temperature.
The Turbo is a very powerful heat pump and when removing
heat from the water in a large pool it must exhaust up to
15,000 watts of heat in to the surrounding air. Even cold
water still produces a lot of heat. The Turbo can not perform
correctly if the large fan can not move all the heat away. As
the air temperature inside the Turbo increases the cooling
performance will be reduced, this is normal for all heat pumps
& refrigerator machines. The inbuilt power management
system in the Turbo will need to increase the use of electricity
to overcome a higher than normal heat load. Therefore, good
ventilation is essential and will save you a lot of money over
time by greatly reducing running costs.
Please note 300mm is the minimum front and back distance
from walls or large objetcs, but more is better. If there is a large
obstacle or wall too close it can cause this powerful machine’s
waste heat to be sucked back in to the machine which will
reduce the performance and may cause over heating.
Water Leak Testing is Essential
As your pool has been transported over distance it is
essential that you check to make sure none of the many
plumbing fittings has been moved or loosened during road
transportation or general handling.
When the pool is in place and connected to the Turbo you
MUST fill it with water to perform a leak test. Generally it will
be very difficult to reach most fittings once the room finishes
and cladding are added to the sides of the pool. If necessary
tighten any fitting that shows any sign of leakage.
More is better if possible to prvent the hot
air from the rear being reflected back into
the powerful front fan

14
Turbos can be mounted anywhere within 70 meters of your pool and can be either level with the pool
or up to 12 meters above or below the pool using an option high lift pump (separate special order).
Installation must be completed by a certified plumber, builder or installer and they must follow iCool’s
guidelines and instructions. Improper installation or operation may result in equipment damage not
covered by warranty.
Basic Connections
Water Pipes (not supplied)
Only 2 pipes are required as shown in the diagram. These pipes
are not factory installed to prevent damage during transport.
Both pipes should be 50mm pool grade PVC pressure pipes
(standard product available in most countries). It is essential
that the pipes be well insulated otherwise a great deal of
energy will be lost due to the transport of very cold water.
Pipe Insulation (not supplied)
All water pipes must be entirely insulated with standard tubular
aluminium foil covered foam insulation (90-100mm). This is a
standard product available in most countries.
This insulation prevents the large energy losses that would
occur otherwise due to the big differences between the water
temperature in the pool and the environment. Insulation
dramatically reduces running costs and speeds up cooling and
heating of the pool water.
If ordering an iCool TR Pool with your Turbo, the pool shell is
insulated at the factory before delivery for this purpose.
Water Suction Safety
By law there must be at least 2 suction points that collect the
water from the pool. Usually one of these is the skimmer box
and the second is a suction fitting elsewhere in the pool such
that a person can not reach both of them at the same time.
This is pre-fitted by iCoolport if you have ordered an iCool TR
Pool with your Turbo.
Water Circulation Pump
A Davey QB035 water circulation pump is supplied with
your Turbo. If not using the supplied pump, a water pump
of between 250 & 700 watts is required. Do not use pumps
of higher power or efficiency will be compromised. Also the
maximum allowable pressure in the titanium heat exchangers
could be exceeded. Maximum 5 Bar or 72PS.
Spa Jets Pump (optional)
If you have ordered a TR pool with massage jets with your
Turbo machine, a spa jets pump will be supplied. Please refer
to TR Pool installation manual for more information.
The pumps are normally placed under the pool steps, but can
be placed anywhere that is convenient.
If placed under the pool, access must be provided to reach the
pumps for future maintenance.
Drain Valve (not supplied)
A manual gate valve is connected to the heat pump suction
line to allow the pool water to be drained. The drain valve can
alternatively be connected to the spa jet pump inlet if you are
using a pool with massage jets.
The gate drain valve must be accessible after installation. If
this is not practical, an electric water valve should be installed
instead of the manual valve to allow remote control of the valve
for draining.

Turbos require only standard single phase power, one flow and one return water pipe and a data
cable (supplied) to connect to the wall mounted remote control touch screen. The pump must also be
connected to the electronic side of the Turbo and works must be completed by a certified electrician,
builder or installer. Improper installation or operation may result in equipment damage not covered by
warranty.
Power Connection
Power Connection
Electric Power Input Recommendations
A certified electrician should connect the Main Power of your
machine.
For Europe, China, Asia, S.E Asia, Africa, India, The Middle East
and Australia Turbos require only a single phase 208-240 volt
supply @ 50Hz or 60Hz. The maximum load is 20 amps and the
typical operating load varies from 8 to 16 amps. An RCD safety
device is built in to the machine, however it is recommended
that the building fuse also incorporates an RCD Please avoid
the use of long extension cords as they may result in voltage
drops that may trigger the inbuilt safety system.
For the USA, Canada, South America and Japan, voltages from
208 to 240 volts are generally readily available on the local
power grid and can be provided to most buildings, in fact
many houses and buildings in these countries already have
higher voltage between 208 & 240 volts connected for high
current devices such as clothes dryers, etc. Higher voltages are
more efficient and provide better performance for high power
products like Turbo machines.
Turbos must be connected to the voltage marked on the
machine, /!\ they are NOT multi-voltage and using a
different voltage may cause severe damage.
Your Turbo is fitted with an electrical safety device to protect
users and all AC power connections used must have an earth
connection that complies with your local electrical safety
regulations.
Screen Connection
The Remote Control Touch Screen with Wall Mounting Box can
be positioned anywhere within 40 meters of the Turbo. It must
be mounted in a dry place and comes with a multi world voltage
power supply that requires 100-240 volt 10 amp single phase
power supply.
The screen is connected to the Turbo by a single twisted pair
cable (provided). The default factory pre-wired control cable
provided by iCool is 20 meters. If further length is required,
this can be obtained at any local electronics store (twisted pair
cable).
A certified electrician must do the wiring. See wiring
instructions in Pages 18-19.
Pump Connection
The water flow pump i controlled by the TurboCool electronics
for safety. The QB035 Davey Water Circulation Pump must be
wired to the electronic side of your Turbo. A certified electrician
must do the wiring. See wiring instruction in Pages 20-21.
Please note: the pump needs to be the same voltage as the
Turbo unit.
