Kryo Drain Kits & Maintenance
Cooling System Maintenance
If you use your Kryo cooling system every day, it is not necessary to drain the water from the water hose or cooling garment.
If you won’t use your cooling system for more than 1 day, you should drain the chiller, water hose and cooling garment.
Failure to drain the water could result in the growth of algae. Since Kryo cooling system couplings are dry release, they do not drain water when disconnected. A drain kit, composed of the matching couplings, is required to open the couplings so they can drain.
Drain Kits
Prevent Algae
You should drain the water from your cooling system after you use it to prevent the growth of algae in the water lines.
Drain Kits are necessary because the water couplings are dry release. When they are released, the water flow stops. Both male and female couplings are needed to drain the water.
Kryo Basic Drain Kit
The basic drain kit allows you to drain the chiller, water hose, and cooling garment one after the other, but not to simultaneously drain both.
Basic drain kits contains:
- 2 female hose couplings with 3″ of tubing
- 2 male hose couplings with 3″ of tubing
Kryo Complete One-Person Drain Kit
Complete one-person drain kits allow you to first drain water from a chiller, then simultaneously from a one-person water hose and one cooling garment, and to leave the couplings attached for air circulation.
Complete one-person drain kits:
- 4 female hose couplings with 3″ of tubing
- 2 male hose couplings with 3″ of tubing
Kryo Complete Two-Person Drain Kit
Complete two-person drain kits allow you to first drain water from a chiller, then simultaneously from a two-person water hose and two cooling garments, and to leave the couplings attached for air circulation.
Complete two-person drain kits:
- 6 female hose couplings with 3″ of tubing
- 4 male hose couplings with 3″ of tubing
Water Loop
Water Loop
The Water Loop can be used to circulate water through your ice chiller and water hose if you need to clean them.
The Water Loop consists of 1′ of tubing with a male hose coupling on each end.
Plug the water hose into the ice chiller. Then plug the Water Loop into the female couplings on the water hose. When you turn on the chiller, it will circulate water through the chiller and water hose until it is turned off.
Bicycle Adapter
Bicycle Pump Adapter
The Bicycle Pump Adapter allows you to pump low pressure air through your cooling garment. If you are unable to drain all the water from the garment, or if algae grow in the garment, you can use the bicycle pump adapter to pump air through the garment to dislodge the water or algae.
The Bicycle Pump Adapter consists of 4′ of tubing with a female coupling on one end and an air adapter on the other. The female coupling connects to the male coupling on your cooling garment, and the air adapter fits a bicycle pump.
You can purchase a bicycle pump at most discount stores.
Using the Bicycle Pump Adapter requires a second female hose coupling so that air can escape. You should have a female hose coupling in your drain kit. Female hose couplings are also available on our spare parts page.
Caution – Do not use high-pressure air on your Kryo Cooling System components.
