Plunge Evolve Chiller Leak Troubleshooting: Standard and Pro Models

Start by identifying your chiller: Standard or Pro. Then determine whether the moisture is condensation or ongoing water loss.

Stop and unplug the chiller for uncontrolled water loss, water in an electrical area, visible coolant, a hot plug, burning smell, buzzing, arcing, or melting.

1. Rule out condensation

1. Mark the tub water line.
2. Dry the chiller, hoses, filter housing, and floor.
3. Leave the tub unused and do not add water for 24 hours.
4. If the level stays the same, the moisture is likely condensation or splash-out.

2. Check external connections

With the chiller fully off, inspect the visible hose connections, filter housing, lid, O-ring, and hair strainer. Do not disconnect hoses. Do not change a valve position while the chiller is running.

3. Check the filter housing

• Standard: turn the chiller fully off before following the published Standard filter procedure.
• Pro: pause or turn off the chiller and follow the published Pro filter procedure.

Use a clean, correctly seated filter; clean the O-ring groove; and hand-tighten the housing. Stop if the housing cross-threads or resists.

4. Capture the leak

From a safe distance, record the full setup and the first wet point after circulation resumes. Do not remove a powered cover or touch internal components.
