Cold Plunge and Cold Therapy FAQs

You don’t – the Classic/Barrel Cold Plunge Bundle - will do it for you, creating a consistent ice-cold temperature. Our products are designed for ice too, if that’s what you prefer.

Depending on usage, every 1-2 weeks inspect the filter by taking it out of the housing and using a garden hose with a higher pressure nozzle to rinse the filter. Every 1-3 months the water filter cartridge should be changed depending on your daily or moderate use. For optimal performance replace the 20-micron filter 1 time a month. You should change the water periodically according to the usage and water clarity. You can connect the garden to the chiller outtake hose that pushes cold water into the tub; but instead direct the old water to the nearest drain.

Using Chemicals:

Using water stabilizers as recommended Sanitizer Pack will help extend the clarity of the water. How often you clean the bath depends on the usage and environment - daily used tubs need more attention.

Both the tub and chiller can be used outside in up to -10C/14F weather. In temperatures approaching below freezing low heating mode is activated and keeps the water from freezing. We recommend providing some shelter from direct rain to extend the chiller housing lifetime. Be cautious when operating in heavy rain as to maintain a dry plug and socket connection. The GFCI cord will protect the unit from any short circuiting but be sure that the socket is connected to ground. (Do not submerge in water - keep unit away from storm water run off)

Both options are compatible with our chillers or can be used with just ice, depending on your preferences and available space. Here are the key differences: - Barrel design: The barrel design offers a smaller footprint and requires less water (280L-320L). This option is popular among athletes as it allows them to focus on the lower half of their bodies without the need for full submersion. It also provides a more comfortable experience for those who enjoy a vertical dip in a crouching position, with the ability to submerge their heads for a meditative position. - Classic tub: The Classic tub is ideal for individuals who prefer the traditional style of a horizontal dip while seated. Our community greatly appreciates this classic approach to cold plunges, finding it extremely comfortable to enter and exit while ensuring a full and immersive experience. It takes up approximately 300L - 350L of water and can even accommodate two people. Both options come with insulated buckled lids, pumps, a water stopper, garden hose valves, and a double male valve for chiller connection, ensuring a convenient and efficient setup.

No! Filling, operating and maintaining the Classic/Barrel Ice-Mini System is a breeze. Setup is easy – just inflate the tub with the included manual pump, connect the hoses from the chiller to the tub, then fill the tub using a garden hose. If you’re setting up indoors, use an adapter to use your nearby sink faucet or an expandable hose.

The Classic or Barrel Cold Plunge Bundle is a portable all-in-one versatile system. There’s no need for ice, as you can maintain your cold tub experience with our self-priming circulation pump and control your cold therapy protocols with our digital temperature controls. It comes with an advanced 2-step water filtration method to ensure a clean and safe dip. Plus the compact size makes it convenient for small spaces, yet big enough for full body submersion.

It’s completely up to you. We recommend investing in the entire Classic/Barrel Cold Plunge Bundle as it makes implementing ice baths into your routine hassle-free.
