Over the past year, I’ve been experimenting with a lot of different cold plunge setups. I started with the portable cold plunges from Ice Pod and Allevachill . Those were pretty neat in the beginning until I realized how much ice they required. Then I dabbled in making my own cold plunge chiller and that was revolutionary. Yay, no more ice! Not content, I then went all-in on the brand-new Ice Barrel 300 . And yeah, a little pricey, but I love it. I should have been happy at that point, but then I came across the Warrior Willpower Spartan 1/2 HP Wi-Fi Water Chiller + Heat .

Sure, my 1/3 HP DIY setup was doing more than fine, but the possibilities of this new chiller were intriguing. Wireless capabilities, built-in UV, super fast cooling, AND the ability to make my cold plunge a hot tub too? Sign me up!

In this review, I want to tell you all about my personal experience with the  Spartan Willpower  1/2 HP  Wi-Fi Water Chiller  + Heat. I’ll be sharing all of the specs, best features, and even potential drawbacks . Hopefully, I’ll be able to answer some of your questions and help you make a more informed buying decision if you’re considering buying from Spartan Willpower.

Key Takeaways

• The  Spartan Willpower  1/2 HP  Wi-Fi Water Chiller  + Heat offers efficient and high-performance water cooling.
• This cold plunge chiller is equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing for remote control and monitoring.
• With its all-in-one design and easy installation process, this water chiller offers convenience for users.
• Energy efficiency is a standout feature of the Spartan Willpower 1/2 HP Wi-Fi Water Chiller + Heat, leading to potential cost savings.

Introduction to the Spartan Water Chiller

Spartan Willpower is emerging as a leading provider of cold plunge-related products. From Google Search to social media feeds, their existence seems omnipresent. Perhaps chalk that up to good marketing. Regardless, they got my attention and so far, I’m glad they did.

Browsing their website, as of this writing, they offer a variety of 6 different chillers for cold plunge and a handful of different style plunges. And what stands out to me the most is their very competitive pricing model. Compared to the competition, on average their products come in anywhere from $100 to a couple thousand dollars less.

Perhaps the only quibble I have with Warrior Willpower Spartan is the extended ship times on some of the more premium cold plunge chillers, including the 1/2 HP Wi-Fi I purchased. But that’s to be expected given the surging consumer demand for ice bath chillers at the moment. And to note, I was fully aware of the delay upfront before buying.

Given the results of a recent survey conducted on Reddit , I decided I’d give their 1/2 HP Wi-Fi chiller a look.

At this point, I’ve now had a week to test the Spartan Willpower 1/2 HP Wi-Fi Water Chiller + Heat. Based on its performance thus far, I feel I can safely say it is among the best water chillers for cold plunge you can buy. Why? Because in the arena of water chillers, it offers all of the same cutting-edge features as other high-end chillers, at a fraction of the price.

Key Features of the Spartan 1/2 HP Wi-Fi Water Chiller + Heat

To say the Spartan chiller is packed with innovative features is an understatement. As far as I know, there’s nothing it lacks. Or at least I wouldn’t know what else to add to make it better. Maybe a drink dispenser?

Key Features Include:

Hot Tub Cold Plunge Combo

It’s said the 1/2 HP water chillers offer the best bang for the buck and I’d have to agree. This Spartan chiller cools things down significantly faster than say, a 1/3 HP unit. Over a 2-hour span, I was able to drop the water temperature in my Ice Barrel by 20 degrees. That’s impressive!

But do you want to know the best feature? The Spartan’s ability to heat water! Sure, icy cold temps might be all the rage, but I’m telling you now, the hot tub cold plunge combo is where it’s at.

With the temperature turned up, the heat pump kicked in and took the water from 40 degrees to 96 degrees in just under 3 hours. The thought of winter doesn’t sound all that bad now, right?

80-gallon max water volume

Spartan indicates the max cooling capacity of the Spartan 1/2 HP chiller is 80 gallons. I think that’s a huge understatement in my opinion. As I said, I’ve been using a 1/3 HP chiller for cold plunge to cool that volume for months now without issue. I see no reason why this particular model couldn’t cool up to 120 gallons, maybe more.

All-weather design for indoor/outdoor use

If you’re worried about leaving your expensive chiller outdoors, don’t be. All of the important internal components are sealed to keep water out. For those that have no option but to leave it exposed to the elements, that’s great news.

Advanced UV sterilization

Built-in UV is a standout feature of the Spartan Water Chiller. UV light is an excellent sterilizer and is capable of killing harmful bacteria that are guaranteed to overtake your cold plunge without it.

As of now, I manage to keep sparkly clean water with the help of products from Sirona . An excellent choice if you’re looking for options.

1-micron external filter (replaceable)

To prevent grass, leaves, or even bugs from mucking up your plunge, an external filter catches all of the debris. It’s user-replaceable and can easily changed out in 30 seconds. It’s yet another means of keeping your ice bath sanitary and clean.

Wi-Fi enabled for easy smartphone control

As techy as I am, I sort of groaned at the idea of adding yet another App to my phone to control the cold plunge chiller. But as I sit here writing this review, I’ve been closely monitoring the water temperature from the comfort of my office. I guess it’s not so bad after all.

Overall the functions of the App are intuitive, allowing you to turn the unit on/off, set the temperature, and also set up a timer(s) . That last feature is great if you want precise control of your water temperature when you know you’re going to ice up.

Technical Specifications

• Refrigerating Capacity: 1300W
• Pump Power: 80W
• Pump Lift: 53ft (16m)
• Pump water flow: 634 gallons per hour
• Refrigerant Medium: R410A (eco-friendly)
• Input Current: 4.28A

Pros and Cons of the Spartan Water Chiller

There’s no question, that there is a lot I absolutely love about the Spartan 1/2 HP Wi-Fi Water Chiller + Heat . Is it perfect? No, I think you should be able to weigh the pros and cons for yourself.

• Excellent cooling and heating capacity
• Top-tier cleaning and sanitation
• Indoor/Outdoor use
• Universal compatibility with any cold plunge
• Smart App integration for easy control
• Excellent build quality
• 1 Year Warranty
• At $1600 (with our promo code), it’s less expensive than other similar models, but still costly
• Heavy at 73 lbs, but it does have castors to move it around
• Large overall size
• Noise levels are relatively high when in operation

The Spartan 1/2 HP Water Chiller is one of those things that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it. Yes, it’s a luxury and I realize this particular model is not an impulse buy for most. If that’s the case, Spartan does sell less expensive chillers that have the same cooling capabilities, but without all the flare.

However, if the cream of the crop is what you want and you’re not willing to compromise, you’ll be very happy with this water chiller.

Just pulled the trigger on the 1Hp model for my ice barrel 300. Was wondering if it would play nice with the ice barrel and this answered my question. $200 off is pretty good too!

A few months later and it’s still working great! You’ll love the combination with the Ice Barrel.

Any special attachments that I might need to buy to get these to work? They are finally both being delivered next week! Thanks!

Depends on your setup. These come with the standard 3/4″ hose attachments, similar to that of a garden hose.

Can a water chiller be used to make a homemade small ac?

• Add to quote

I was thinking a chiller could be stationed outside of the van and the cold water could be pumped through tubes to a small radiator inside the van. I am thinking, with the right combination of chiller and heat exchanger, one could remove a fair amount of heat from the van. Maybe pair it up with a small dehumidifier....? Below i am going to post examples of the items i am talking about. Not necessarily the exact ones to be used for the project, just to give an example of what i am talking about. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0716XSSC4/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_6QNQ73B45VYRYHNKJATD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KWPJ4K3/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_MHXFBN1W167JX99V2PE7  

Yes, that is basically the way a heat exchange cooling system works. It works best if there is large difference in indoor and outdoor temperatures. The laws of thermodynamics will not be fooled, so a large surface area for the heat exchanges will be needed. It could be made to work, but will likely be a lot of trial and revision to get it to do what you want. If it is to be powered by 12v battery power, then the demand on the batteries will be substantial, over time. You will be running at least one water pump and at least two significant fans. Rod J  

It could be made modular. Start with one heat exchanger and check the input and output water temps when in use. Then you can continue to add small heat exchangers until the output water is close to the ambient temp in the van. Also the chiller could be placed on the roof of the van and the heat exchanger below it in the van. This would cause a thermosyphon, eliminating the need for a pump. Thoughts?  

They used to sell in the 50s basically tin ...space ship rocket... That clipped on the window and you put water in it. A wind powered swamp cooler. Guess it ducte the air on through the window crack since it didn't roll all the way up with it clipped on. Could be remembering wrong or off topic. Only skimmed the OP  

My only thoughts are that an efficient thermosiphon needs a lot more heat differential and a relatively free flowing ( large diameter-that being a minimum of nearly an inch in diameter) piping system. Vertical height also helps generate flow, but due to the likely low temperature gradient in the system, it may be quite slow to generate any significant flow. It sounds like fun project, with a lot of potential for self-learning and upgrades. Rod J. Issaquah, WA You are correct about that being a 'swamp cooler' design. In 1963, my parents had one on our 1949 Pontiac (they both worked at home, so that car had very low miles on it.), when we took a big trip to the southwest and up through Yellowstone National park. I did not have my drivers license yet, and I remember my mother and sister trading places with me in the back seat, to take advantage of the somewhat cooler air. Dad did nearly all the driving. That Pontiac met it's end (due to a drunk driver) in Yellowstone National Park, and we drove home in a brand new 1963 Chevrolet station wagon. Rod J  

110 degrees inside...yikes! I agree, a system with a small pump would be best for the type of installation you will be using ( trying to keep it simple but functional), and having limited ability to optimize height advantages.

Only really works if it's low humidity outside.  

The temperature differential won't be significant enough for this to work well. A swamp cooler would likely be more effective.  

whatever happened to the ROVAC system?

Moscow in Winter: Weather, What to Pack, and What to See

WITGOAWAY / Getty Images

Travelers who enjoy bundling up for a snowy climate will appreciate all that Moscow has to offer, come winter. This ornamental Russian city shows its vibrant cultural heritage when temperatures plummet and the snow starts falling on Red Square. Unlike other cities, whose residents scurry away to hibernate in December, the people of Moscow embrace their sub-zero climate in style. They don their furs and ushanka hats (traditional hats with earflaps) to peruse Christmas markets, dine out at restaurants, and attend the opera.

In winter, Moscow's scenery looks awe-inspiring under a dusting of snow. There's something undeniably charming about seeing historic sites like the colorful, tented rooftops of Saint Basil's Cathedral capped with a layer of icy frost. The food here is warm and comforting, and the cultural winter events are not to be missed. Plus, it's cheaper to visit Moscow during the winter and it's far less crowded with tourists.

Moscow is not where you go to get a suntan over the holidays. In fact, the Moscow winter is enough to chill any hearty tourist to the bone—but that's all part of the fun. The average high for December, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is 27 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 2.7 degrees Celsius); for January, it's 23 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 5 degrees Celsius); and for February, it's 26 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 3.3 degrees Celsius). Take these average temperatures with a grain of salt, however, as it certainly isn't abnormal for the air to dip into the teens.

The Moscow cold is often accompanied by generous amounts of ice and snow deposited by frequent winter storms. The city goes unfazed by these storms—cars still drive around and people in boots trod through the snowpack. You'll see thick icicles growing on roof overhangs, so be sure not to linger underneath them while you're out touring the area's magnificent cathedrals.

Lastly, don't be surprised if your flights in or out get canceled or delayed. This can be one of the drawbacks to traveling in the winter, in general.

What to Pack

Stuffing your suitcase with bulky (and heavy) winter clothing can be frustrating and expensive, which tends to deter Moscow winter travel altogether. A trip to the city between early December and late February requires enough accessories to cover the extremities: wooly hats, cold-weather socks, knit scarves, and a good pair of gloves. Also pack a coat that falls below the hips, weatherproof boots, and ski pants, if you have them. Remember, fashion is second only to avoiding hypothermia in this polar city.

The Moscow winter calendar is brimming with cultural events for travelers to attend each winter. Many events take place during the Christmas holiday; then, the city caps off the winter with a farewell festival, come February.

• The annual Russian Winter Festival , which spans an entire month starting mid-December, takes place in several locations throughout the city. Head to Izmailovo Park or Revolution Square to see everything from over-the-top ice sculptures to traditional dance performances. Watch the professional ice skaters and visit food trucks that serve traditional fare.
• Moscow's New Year’s Eve celebration is one of the city's biggest events of the year. Tens of thousands of people spend it in Kremlin—Moscow's central complex—watching the Kremlin tower strike midnight, while fireworks crack in the background. Others attend the Christmas tree light show at Red Square.
• Christmas in Russia falls on January 7, and the week between New Year’s Eve and Christmas Day is a time for Russians to relax. Families focus on spending time together at home, preparing traditional foods like ukha (fish soup) and sauerkraut. Tourists can use this uncrowded time wisely by seeking out the city's culinary gems. Make sure to check the hours of operations on restaurants, shops, and other businesses before visiting them during this week. While much of the city's businesses might be closed, you might get special treatment at the places that stay open.
• Maslenitsa , Russia’s farewell-to-winter festival, occurs in late February or early March. This pagan celebration is marked by games, contests, and cultural traditions. It’s held in the Red Square area every year and draws crowds of Muscovites and visitors alike.

Winter Travel Tips

• In order to obtain a Russian travel visa, you'll need to be invited by a relative or friend who is a citizen or a hosting tour company.
• Traveling to Moscow in the winter helps you avoid the summer crowds; however, flight delays due to weather are common. Plan an extra day on either end of your trip in case you get held up.
• If you plan to visit a Russian banya, a Slavic steam bathhouse, take note that most people bathe in the buff. However, most bathhouses are separated by sex.
• Plan alternating indoor and outdoor activities so that you don't get too cold. A visit to the Tretyakov Gallery, the State Armory Museum, or the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts provides a nice respite from the frigid temperatures.
