The Ultra Barrel Light

Good serviceable barrel tub included with my Coldture chiller purchase. Both inflatable tub and lid maintain pressure and are comfortable to use. I’m 5’11” and 210 lbs. The internal dimensions are sufficient to allow a restful pose with water level reaching my chin, albeit with legs crossed. The black color coupled with the blue bottom is striking. Although I have no plans to travel with mine, I can imagine the tub would be easy to carry in its included backpack. Moving the heavy chiller would be another story.

I’ve had my Ultra Light Barrell and Chiller combo for four months. The setup was very simple. I found a YouTube video which helped resolve a leak with the inlet/outlet gaskets.

The product itself has been amazing. I’m 5’ 10” and 200 lbs and have no troubles staying submerged to my neck. There is lots of room still. The maintenance has been very simple, it takes no more then 20 minutes per week. The app with timer feature helps have the desired temperature set upon waking. I’ve noticed big improvements since physically in reduction of inflammation. I’ve also noticed changes mentally including decreased anxiety and increased alertness and happiness from the dopamine release immediately after use.

I had issues with the chiller unit within four months. The company arranged a meeting and agreed to replace the unit. No questions asked. All shipping expenses paid. They even sent the new unit immediately so I wasn’t without a unit during the exchange.

Very happy with the company’s customer service and products.

This setup is so perfect. I was using a cheaper tent pole style tub where I was freezing resusable ice packs and changing the water each time. Only able to get the water down to 9 or 10C in the summer, it was great in the winter, 1-3c water with a puck heater. But had to upgrade on the second summer around, I just can't go back to warmer water and longer prep time. Since getting the Ultra light barrel and chiller, I have set it up once and have used it 5 days straight with such ease. The tub has more space and is more sturdy than my past tub, which was great for the introduction, but now that I'm serious into plunging, there is no going back from the chiller. Saturday night my wife wanted to try the hot feature, and we converted the tub remotely while out around 3pm and it was 40C and ready to dip by time we got home in the evening. I then flipped it back over to cold for sunday plunge. Cold therapy has changed my life in the best way possible, I was so desperate for something to help my anxiety and reset my stress levels from working in IT engineering. People sometimes make fun of cold plunging or are afraid to try it, but please give it a shot if you have basically given up on everything else, it might be exactly what you need to jump start your life change. Things have started to go so well, at work, I've lost 45 lbs, joined Muay Thai with my son in November 2023, and have been training 3-5 times a week since June of this year. I feel I owe it all to ice baths and winning the small physical and psychological battle every day before you meet your day head on. Give it a chance you will not regret it. Thank you David for getting me setup with the package and getting it delivered in 2 days.
