Shipping & Delivery

Your order ships free from the manufacturer's California warehouse on a strapped pallet via insured LTL freight. Orders are processed within 2 business days, and delivery to most addresses in the contiguous US takes 5–7 business days after shipment. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.

Scheduling your delivery. The freight carrier will reach out before the truck rolls — most carriers call 24–48 hours ahead to lock in a four-hour delivery window. Some carriers (including R+L) send an email or text the morning of delivery instead. Respond promptly either way. If the carrier can't reach you and misses 2–3 delivery attempts, terminal storage fees kick in and the item may be returned at your expense.

What to expect at delivery. A 53-foot semi-truck arrives at your curbside. The driver uses the truck's built-in liftgate to lower the pallet to ground level — that's where their responsibility ends. Standard delivery does not include bringing the equipment inside, up stairs, or unpacking. Plan ahead: have help available to move it once it's off the truck. Someone must be present to sign for the delivery.

CRITICAL — inspect before you sign. Walk around the pallet and check every box before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any scratches, dents, or scuff marks directly on the delivery receipt. If you see a large hole, crushed corner, or obvious structural damage, refuse the delivery — we'll ship a replacement at no cost. Signing a clean BOL releases the freight carrier from all liability. A damage claim cannot be filed after a clean signature. This takes two minutes and fully protects you.

Good to know. If your address changes after the order ships, contact us immediately — carrier re-routing fees may apply and will add transit time. If your location cannot comfortably accommodate a 53-foot semi-truck (island, remote road, gated community, narrow access), contact us before ordering so we can arrange an appropriate solution.

Free freight applies to standard residential curbside delivery within the contiguous 48 US states. Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada are not available at standard checkout — contact us before ordering for a freight quote. Transit times are carrier estimates, not guarantees. Applies to all Golden Designs Inc. brands: Dynamic Saunas, Maxxus Saunas, and Dynamic Cold Therapy. View our full Shipping & Delivery policy →

Return Policy

We stand behind every product we sell. If it's not the right fit, you have 30 days from delivery to return it — and if you need to cancel before it ships, you can do that within 24 hours of purchase at no charge.

How to start a return. Email us your order number at sales@recoveryroomdirect.com and we'll issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number within one business day. Write that number clearly on the outside of every box before handing it to the carrier — the warehouse will not accept returns without it.

Condition required. The item must come back new, unused, and in its original packaging with all components, hardware, and accessories included. Items that have been assembled, used, or modified cannot be returned. Electronic components — power supplies, control panels, and accessories — are non-returnable under manufacturer policy regardless of condition.

What it costs to return. We want to be upfront about this: returning large freight equipment has real costs. The manufacturer charges a 20% restocking fee on all returns, and you are responsible for the return freight. If your original order shipped free, the actual outbound freight cost is also deducted from your refund. Any storage or carrier routing fees incurred during the return process are the buyer's responsibility as well. Once the item arrives at the warehouse and passes inspection, your refund is issued within 5 business days to your original payment method.

Damaged on arrival? That's a different process entirely — and you're fully protected. If you refused the delivery and documented the damage on the Bill of Lading, we handle the freight claim and ship you a replacement at no cost. No restocking fee, no return shipping. This is exactly why we ask you to inspect carefully before you sign.

The manufacturer warranty covers defects that arise after the 30-day return window. See full warranty terms at goldendesigninc.com. Questions about your order? Call us at 1-888-500-5675 or email sales@recoveryroomdirect.com — Mon–Sat, 9am–6pm EST. Applies to all Golden Designs Inc. brands: Dynamic Saunas, Maxxus Saunas, and Dynamic Cold Therapy.

Why Regular Filter Replacement Matters

Your DCT chiller uses a two-stage filtration system: a mechanical cartridge filter (this product) catches particulate matter, while a separate ozonator handles microbial control. The cartridge filter does the heavy lifting — trapping dirt, silt, sand, and suspended particles before they reach the pump and heat exchanger.

A clogged filter restricts water flow below the chiller's minimum threshold (16 L/min), which forces the pump to work harder, reduces cooling efficiency, and eventually triggers the chiller's flow-rate alert. Replacing filters on schedule — every 2–4 weeks depending on use — keeps flow optimal, water clear, and your chiller running at full performance.

Why 20 micron specifically? At 20 microns, these filters capture particles visible to the eye while maintaining strong flow rates through the cartridge. Going finer (5 or 1 micron) would restrict flow and require more frequent replacement; going coarser (50 micron) would allow visible particles to pass. 20 microns is the manufacturer-specified rating for the DCT system.

Compatibility — Important

These 5" × 2.5" filters are sized for the DCT 0.6 HP chiller only. The 0.8 HP and 1.0 HP chillers use the larger 10" × 2.5" filter housing.

✅ DCT 0.6 HP Chiller — All Editions ❌ NOT for 0.8 HP or 1.0 HP Chiller

If you have a 0.8 HP or 1.0 HP chiller, you need the 10" × 2.5" filter (DCT-Filter-10x2.5) — available separately on our site.

When to Replace

  • Every 2–4 weeks for regular home use (3–5 sessions/week)
  • Every 1–2 weeks in high-use or commercial environments
  • When flow rate drops below 16 L/min — chiller may alert you or sound louder than normal
  • When filter cartridge appears visibly discolored or clogged

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when to replace the filter?

Replace the filter when: (1) the cartridge appears visibly brown or clogged, (2) your water flow looks reduced or the chiller sounds louder than usual, or (3) DCT's flow rate alert triggers (below 16 L/min). As a baseline, plan for replacement every 2–4 weeks under normal home use.

Does this filter replace the ozonator or sanitizer?

No. The cartridge filter is a mechanical particulate filter — it removes suspended solids but does not address bacteria, algae, or dissolved contaminants. Your DCT chiller's ozonator handles microbial control separately. Both systems need to be maintained for clean, safe water.

Can I rinse and reuse these filters?

We do not recommend it. Rinsing may dislodge captured particles back into the cartridge rather than removing them. DCT's filter cartridges are designed as single-use replaceable items. Reusing clogged filters risks restricted flow and reduced filtration efficiency.

What happens if I use the wrong filter size?

The 5" cartridge will not seat properly in the 0.8 HP or 1.0 HP filter housing — the housing is designed for a 10" cartridge. Using the wrong size creates a gap that allows unfiltered water to bypass the cartridge entirely. Always match the filter size to your chiller's HP rating.
