Cold Plunge Chiller vs Ice Miami.

Bags of ice are fine for experiments, parties, and one-off recovery days. They are less appealing as a weekly routine in Miami heat. Warm fill water, humid air, and direct sun all make the water climb faster, so the ice routine becomes a loop of buying, carrying, dumping, waiting, and repeating. A 1 HP chiller changes the use case. You still need sensible placement, shade when possible, airflow around the chiller, and a basic maintenance routine, but the cold water is no longer dependent on a grocery run. That matters for people who want to plunge before work, after training, or whenever the day needs a reset instead of a logistical side quest.
