The HydroPro is Breville | PolyScience’s commercial immersion-circulator family: CSV700 HydroPro and CSV750 HydroPro Plus heat and circulate a separate water bath.
A commercial immersion-circulator family
Breville | PolyScience uses HydroPro for two named immersion-circulator models in its CSV700/CSV750 instruction book: HydroPro CSV700 and HydroPro Plus CSV750. Both mount to a separate water vessel and heat and circulate the bath. The model family is a specific commercial example of the broader sous-vide circulator class, not a self-contained tank. A suitable vessel is an additional piece of equipment.
The official HydroPro Plus image shows the family form as a vertical appliance: a digital head above a stainless immersion body, a mounting clamp and a lower circulation foot. The CSV750 adds a digital needle probe and holder; Breville's manual identifies those components for CSV750 only. Do not assume that a base CSV700 has this probe. The Plus product page lists stainless steel, polymer and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, but those materials are model-specific rather than a shared bill of materials for every HydroPro revision.

How the bath is set up
The heater warms water while the impeller circulates it around the vessel. The controller selects a bath setpoint; the food remains separate inside a bag or container. Breville's manual specifies water-only operation and warns users not to let the circulator contact food. Its intended vessel is a lidded thermoplastic container with a maximum capacity of 45 litres and a height no greater than 290 mm. The manual calls for the water level to stay between the MIN and MAX marks on the housing. Food added to the bath displaces water, while evaporation can lower the level during a run.
The manual's maximum manual-cooking setting is 194°F (90°C). This is an appliance ceiling, not a food-safety endpoint. Flow can be selected at different speeds, and the flow direction can be adjusted by rotating the removable foot. A large, uncovered vessel can lose more heat; the instruction book says the unit was validated with an uninsulated 45-litre vessel with a secure lid. This setup guidance belongs to the HydroPro manual, not to every immersion circulator.

Toolbox, yogurt and limits of use
The Sous Vide Toolbox lists yoghurt among the food types it can calculate for, alongside eggs, vegetables, fruit, custard and other foods. That listing establishes a software category, not a fermentation recipe. The manual instructs the user to select Food Authority suggested settings and cautions that low-temperature cooking may fail to pasteurize. It does not provide, in the reviewed passages, a yogurt culture, incubation schedule or jar setup. This record therefore does not claim that the HydroPro has a supported yogurt-making programme.
For cultured foods, the useful equipment distinction is between the warm water outside a jar and the fermentation happening inside it. A circulator can maintain a bath around separate vessels, but it does not ferment milk, identify a culture endpoint or validate food safety. Use the exact product manual for its water level, bath vessel and maintenance instructions, and use a separate source-backed recipe for the food process. The HydroPro's documented water-only rule means milk, brine or wort should not be pumped through its heating chamber.

Model range, care and geographic limits
The product page Breville currently maintains is for the HydroPro Plus CSV750. It lists a 3.7 × 4.9 × 14.5 inch body and a digital probe that reads food-core temperature; the CSV700 is described in the paired manual but its current availability and comparable dimensions were not established here. Check the model number and local rating plate rather than carrying CSV750 details over to CSV700 or another regional variant.
Breville's manual directs users to unplug before cleaning, wait for the unit to cool, remove the foot and impeller for routine cleaning, then clean and dry the circulator before storage. It says indoor use only and warns against extension cords. The same manual's final page says Breville products were distributed in the United States and Canada under license. That is evidence of those channels, not a manufacturing origin or a complete distribution map; the consulted documents do not establish where each unit was made or when the HydroPro family first launched.

History
Breville | PolyScience documents the HydroPro (CSV700) and HydroPro Plus (CSV750) together in its instruction book, while its current US product page lists the Plus variant. The consulted documentation establishes these models and their functions, but not the family's first release date.
Equipment details
SizeBreville lists 3.7 × 4.9 × 14.5 in for HydroPro Plus CSV750; no equivalent dimensions for the base CSV700 are asserted here. The manual's 45 L figure is the maximum recommended bath vessel, not an appliance capacity.
PowerElectric The product is electrically powered. The consulted sources do not establish a shared wattage or voltage for every regional model; use the specific unit's rating plate and regional manual.
How you get oneBought, manufactured A factory-made commercial immersion-circulator family. Compare the model number, regional electrical specification and included accessories before purchase.
CareFollow the CSV700/CSV750 manual. It directs users to unplug before cleaning, wait for the unit to cool, remove the foot and magnetic impeller for cleaning, and clean and dry the appliance before storage. The probe and probe holder are CSV750-only parts.
Made of
- Stainless steel — CSV750 Plus immersion shaft
Breville lists stainless steel among the Plus model's construction materials; this is a model-specific listing. - Polymer — CSV750 Plus housing and components
Breville lists polymer for the Plus model; construction may differ across model and revision. - Corning Gorilla Glass Victus — CSV750 Plus display
Breville's current Plus product page lists this touchscreen material; do not assume it applies to the base CSV700.
Risks and precautions · Standard risk
Circulator used with a liquid other than water or with food in direct contact
The HydroPro/Plus manual specifies water-only operation and says food must be held in a separate bag or container.
Hazard sourceWater level outside the marked range or appliance above its MAX line
The manual requires the bath level to remain between the MIN and MAX marks and warns against using the circulator above MAX.
Hazard sourceLow-temperature cooking that does not pasteurize
The manual warns that low-temperature cooking may not pasteurize and may pose risk to some people; its Toolbox directs users to Food Authority suggested settings.
Hazard sourceUse the circulator with water only; put food in a separate suitable bag or container, never directly in the bath.
Control sourceUse the specified lidded thermoplastic bath vessel, keep its level between the housing's MIN and MAX marks, and allow for food displacement and evaporation.
Control sourceUnplug before cleaning and follow the manual's temperature, food-handling and cleaning instructions; the manual says the appliance is for indoor use and prohibits extension cords.
Control sourceLimits
The manual's maximum intended single-circulator vessel is a lidded thermoplastic container of up to 45 L and 290 mm height. That describes the bath vessel, not capacity inside the appliance.
Source →Bath temperature is not a direct reading of a food's core temperature. The CSV750 Plus has a digital needle probe; the manual identifies the probe only for CSV750, not CSV700.
Source →Yoghurt appears as a Sous Vide Toolbox food type, but the reviewed manual does not establish a yogurt-fermentation time, temperature or jar method. The circulator should not be described as a standalone yogurt maker.
Source →The manual warns that low-temperature cooking may not pasteurize. Its cooking Toolbox and safety cautions are not a substitute for a validated fermentation recipe or process.
