The Contrast Edition is the world’s first dual-orientation contrast therapy system, built for high-traffic commercial environments. It features two independent sides: a vertical barrel and a horizontal tub, constructed from 316L marine-grade stainless steel and NSF50-certified filtration. Each side is powered by its own dedicated system, delivering reliable temperature control across back-to-back sessions. Hot and cold, fully integrated in a single footprint. No separate installations required.
What's the difference between the residential and commercial configurations?
The residential system includes two ChillX units, giving full simultaneous temperature control (32°F–107°F) on both sides. The commercial system is optimized for high-volume use, combining one ChillX unit (1HP of hot + cold) with a more powerful commercial-grade chiller (1.5HP of cold only, down to 37°F). This setup delivers faster cooling, improved stability across consecutive sessions, and stronger filtration performance. For more information, refer to the spec sheet or contact our Polar Monkeys specialists.
What does initial installation look like?
Installation is a quick plug-and-play process, typically taking under 20 minutes. Each side requires its own dedicated standard 120V, 15-amp outlet. Water access is needed for the initial fill only, and no continuous connection required. Both sides operate as closed-loop systems with independent filtration. Drain access is recommended for maintenance, but not required. Site evaluation, white glove delivery, and staff training are available with every order. The system is operational immediately following installation.
What kind of maintenance does the Contrast Edition require?
Maintenance is designed to be simple, even in high-use environments. Filtration runs automatically, cycling every 5 minutes. Filters are typically replaced every 3 months under heavy use, with water testing weekly or bi-weekly. Drain and refill cycles are usually done quarterly. Each side operates independently, so maintenance does not interrupt full system use. Operational setup and staff training is available with our Polar Monkeys specialists. Most facilities integrate contrast therapy into existing service offerings within the same day.
Can the drainage system be customized for my space?
Yes. Drainage can be configured to match your facility layout. We can connect to existing floor drains or set up a pump-out system if needed. Site evaluation by our Polar Monkeys specialists is available to determine the best setup for your space.
Does the Contrast Edition include steps or entry assistance?
Yes. The vertical barrel includes a movable exterior staircase and an integrated interior seat for supported entry. The horizontal tub is accessible without additional steps. Both sides are designed to accommodate different client needs while minimizing staff assistance.
How do I control the temperature in each side?
The ChillX unit can be controlled through the Polar Monkeys app or directly on the unit. The commercial chiller is controlled via its physical panel and is designed to maintain a consistent cold temperature. Both systems operate independently, allowing your staff to set and maintain each side as needed.
