Efficient Cooling Performance – Up to 8 Litres Per Hour
The Waterworks IC8 is engineered to provide a convenient supply of chilled drinking water using a compact compressor refrigeration system.
Under suitable test conditions, the chiller can cool incoming water from approximately 27°C to 8–10°C in around 20 minutes.
- Cooling capacity: Approximately 8 litres per hour.
- Equivalent serving capacity: Approximately 40 × 200 ml cups per hour under specified conditions.
- Initial chilled water draw-off: Approximately 1.2–1.5 litres below 10°C.
- Chilled water temperature: Approximately 8–10°C.
- Insulated storage tank: 1.9 litres.
Performance note: Cooling capacity is measured over time and should not be confused with the volume available for immediate continuous dispensing. Actual performance depends on incoming water temperature, ambient conditions, ventilation, water demand and installation configuration.
How Does the Waterworks IC8 Under-Sink Chiller Work?
The Waterworks IC8 is installed beneath a suitable kitchen or workplace sink and connected to the drinking water supply.
Water enters the fully insulated stainless steel tank, where the compressor-driven refrigeration system lowers its temperature. Once the water has reached the operating temperature, chilled drinking water can be dispensed through a connected compatible tap.
The chiller automatically operates its refrigeration system to maintain a supply of cold water between dispensing cycles.
For customers who want chilled filtered drinking water, a compatible water filtration system can be installed upstream of the chiller. The IC8 provides the cooling function; filtration performance depends on the separate filter system selected.
Quality Stainless Steel Waterways
The Waterworks IC8 features a 1.9-litre fully insulated 304 stainless steel water tank, designed for durable drinking water storage.
Its internal waterlines are manufactured from heliarc-welded stainless steel, with lead- and copper-free waterways.
Recessed 1/4-inch stainless steel push-in connections allow the chiller to be integrated into a suitable plumbing arrangement.
The exterior cabinet features corrosion-resistant, high-polymer polyester-coated steel panels, providing a durable finish for installation beneath a sink or bench.
Compressor-Driven Refrigeration Technology
The Waterworks IC8 uses a hermetically sealed, lifetime-lubricated compressor with a fan-assisted static condenser and capillary tube refrigeration control.
The system uses R134a refrigerant, which is non-flammable under normal operating conditions and has zero ozone depletion potential.
The refrigeration system is designed to provide automatic cooling while the insulated tank helps maintain chilled water between dispensing cycles.
Flexible Tap & Water Filtration Compatibility
One of the advantages of the Waterworks IC8 under-sink water chiller is its flexibility when planning a drinking water system.
Depending on your installation requirements, the chiller can be paired with several compatible tap configurations:
- Dedicated chilled water tap: A separate drinking water faucet providing chilled water.
- Dual chilled and ambient drinking water tap: A compatible tap arrangement offering chilled and room-temperature drinking water.
- Compatible multi-way kitchen mixer tap: Selected mixer taps can combine regular kitchen water functions with a separate chilled drinking water pathway.
The IC8 can also be connected to suitable under-sink filtration systems, including compatible Seagull IV purifier configurations.
Important: The chiller does not filter water by itself. Tap and filtration inclusions depend on the product configuration selected. Please confirm compatibility and supplied components before installation.
Ideal for Residential & Small Commercial Use
The Waterworks IC8 is a practical choice for customers who want convenient chilled water without a traditional benchtop or freestanding cooler.
- Home kitchens and residential renovations
- Small offices and professional workplaces
- Staff kitchens and break rooms
- Reception areas and consulting rooms
- Small commercial premises with moderate chilled water requirements
- Existing drinking water system upgrades and chiller replacements
