This walk-through covers each step of the setup process for your Colderatti Hyperpod cold plunge.
• Check that the water level is at least above the bottom water valve.

**Failure to follow this setup guide may damage the machine and void the warranty.
• Place the Colderatti on a solid, level, waterproof surface.
• Allow at least 36 inches of clearance on the fan end for ventilation.
• If placing on a raised deck, confirm it’s rated for 2,000lbs.
• The cord is 10 ft. long, so ensure you have access to an outlet for power. If you plan to use an extension cord, use a 12-gauge cord.

• Attach sediment filter to the IN threaded inlet on Hyperchiller.
• Connect water line from Hyperchiller IN → Cold Plunge OUT (bottom port).
