Noise: Place the chilling machine away from bedrooms or other quiet, habitable spaces.
After testing many pumps, we selected an industrial-grade circulation pump that keeps cooling performance high; it produces a low, steady hum—fine in a utility or service area, but not ideal next to a bedroom or living room.
Heat: The unit also releases a little heat, so choose a space with airflow (utility room, plant room, laundry, store, or outdoors under cover).
