Dimensions

33.5 in diameter × 42 in high; 52 in long with the stairs (ORCA's dimension graphic)

Not drawn: the maker gives a diameter and height, and these drawings need a labelled length, width and height.

The buyer question

Does this fit your use?

ORCA offers The Well for "your home or commercial facility." Its pages give 110 V for the chiller, 175 lb for the barrel and 35 lb for the stairs, but no capacity, filled weight, clearance, drainage or warranty.

Ask ORCA what warranty covers The Well before ordering: none of its pages states one, and the one-line "1 Year Limited Warranty" appears only in chiller specifications on other ORCA pages, not on any Well page.

Clearance

ORCA publishes no clearance, ventilation or drainage guidance for The Well or its chiller, and no filled weight or floor-load figure.

After delivery

What owning it involves

Installation, maintenance and repair can change the value of the purchase.

Commercial use conflict

ORCA offers The Well for "your home or commercial facility," yet the same page describes only the 1.5 and 2 HP chillers as "designed for Commercial and High-volume applications" and recommends 20-micron filters for commercial use. No commercial terms are published.

Illustrative
Filter conflicts

The Well page says a 50-micron filter is included for residential use, while ORCA's chiller pages call filtration optional. ORCA's maintenance page says to replace the filter about every 10–14 days (other ORCA pages: every 2 weeks) and warns that non-ORCA filters "may void the manufacturer warranty." Filters are $36 for six.

Returns

Returns must be requested within 30 days of purchase, unused and in the original packaging. A 15% restocking fee applies once the order has shipped (3–6% if cancelled before), refunds are less the cost of shipping, and sale purchases cannot be returned.

Warranty terms shown are current as of Sep 27, 2026; other facts as read on the dates shown; your purchase documents govern your order.

Perspective & limits

What outside sources add

Reviews on ORCA's product pages are collected by ORCA through the Judge.me app, so they are the maker's selection, not independent accounts. No independent test of The Well was located.
