Cooler FAQ's
1.
What does Frost Bite Coolers make?
Frost Bite Coolers produces very high quality ice chests and freezers/refrigerators. We offer 25 different sizes of ice chests and 7 sizes of freezers/refrigerators. These are designed mainly for the boating market although they are also ideally suited for many other recreational and commercial markets.
2. How come I have not heard of Frost Bite Coolers before?
For the first fifteen years of the company's existence it concentrated mainly on the production of custom ice chests and freezers. These were sold mainly by word of mouth. Production was very limited because of the use of customized molds. In the last three years, Frost Bite Coolers has invested in production molds and this has significantly increased our production capacity, allowing us to serve a much larger market.
3. How long will the Frost Bite Coolers ice chest keep ice?
This is a very difficult question to answer because there are so many variables that will affect the efficiency. Such things as sun, outside temperature and the number of times the ice chest is opened can affect the melting rate of the ice. In general, we regularly receive reports of the Frost Bite Coolers ice chest keeping ice for 7 to 10 days. We have several reports that blocks of ice stayed frozen for three to four weeks.
4. How can the Frost Bite Coolers keep ice for so long?
The three design features that contribute the most to the efficiency of the Frost Bite Coolers are (1) the fiberglass construction, (2) two inches of high density foam insulation and (3) the "D" ring airtight seal which keeps outside air from leaking into the box.
5. How strong are your ice chests and freezers?
The ice chest and freezers/refrigerators are very strong. They are made of reinforced fiberglass and have a gel coat finish. They are constructed like the hull of a boat. The two inches of high density foam insulation adds significantly to the structural strength. We also use heavy-duty hinges and latches.
6. Can you sit on the chests without hurting them?
Absolutely, in fact we sell cushions, which can be installed for more comfortable seating. These chest can easily support the weight of several adults.
7. Are your freezers/refrigerators designed to resist the saltwater environment?
Yes. Freezers/refrigerators are the same design as the ice chests except they have an additional inch of high-density foam insulation in the walls. The compressor and electrical components are either stainless steel, anodized aluminum and all of the components are epoxy coated. This will ensure many years of service in saltwater conditions.
8. Do you recommend any preventative maintenance on the freezers/refrigerators?
We suggest that every six months you remove the access panel and vacuum the compressor compartment and spray a light oil in the compressor compartment. This will help to prolong the useful life of the compressor components.
9. What is the Frost Bite Coolers warranty policy?
All of the Frost Bite Coolers chests carry a lifetime warranty. The mechanical and electrical components in the freezers/refrigerators have a one-year warranty.
