After rigorous testing, we concluded that the inflatable lid is almost impossible to seal airtight since it merely sits on top. Our cover extends down the sides, allowing it to retain cold air; trapping a pocket of cold air has the most significant impact on keeping the system cool.

There are now many copycat competitors who have systems that look similar from the outside, but have many issues under the hood that will become immediately apparent and worsen over time. For the sake of brevity will just cover two critical issues:

• Starting with the filtration system; they’re systems are inferior and lacking UV sanitation which is a critical component as it will require complete water changes as frequently as weekly and not safe to dunk head under water after the first use. This is up to 1 tonne of water per month wasted along with the draining and refilling issues.
• The second is insulation; an ice bath in Australia is like a giant cold drink on a hot day, water droplets start accumulating and eventually start pooling and without heavily insulating the components the pooling is impossible to manage.  We have double insulated heavy duty hose with customised insulative covers for our filters and hoses to manage.

• The standard size tub is for 1 person up to 6.”3
• The regular chiller can maintain as low as 4C. The Pro chiller can maintain temperatures as low as 2.5C.

The Pro chiller is more powerful and maintain temperatures as low as 2.5C for those really pushing their limits, while the regular is 4C and is perfectly suitable for most.

2.5°C - 15°C

For those new to cold exposure, we recommend starting with a temperature range of 10-15°C. This temperature range provides a challenging but manageable experience that allows you to acclimate to the cold gradually. It's important to note that this temperature range is still extremely cold, and it may take some time to get used to it. To put it into perspective, a typical cold shower in Australia is around 20-25°C.

Attempting to go below 7°C for your first ice bath is not recommended. Such extreme cold can be dangerous and increase the risk of hypothermia or other health complications. 

We recommend 2.5°C as the absolute coldest temperature to avoid any potential health risks.

It's crucial to understand that everyone's tolerance for cold is different, so what works for one person may not work for another. Gradually lowering the temperature over time as you become more comfortable with the cold is a safer approach.

Remember to always listen to your body and avoid overexposure to cold water. If you have any health concerns or medical conditions, consult with a healthcare professional before starting cold exposure.

We’ve had customers use the same water for 6 months at a time, however for legal purposes the frequency of water changes depends on a number of factors and it is up to the discretion of the user to manage. The factors the effect this;

• Personal or Commercial use; 
• Single person or Multiple person; 
• Additional of Pool Cleaning Chemicals: 

The filter cartridge can be washed multiple times before requiring a replacement. How often varies a lot depending on usage, but as a rule of thumb; 3 per year for personal use. 10 per year for commercial use.

No. The water simply circulates between the chiller, filtration system and the tub.

Yes it can be used outdoors, however it should be under a sheltered area and not directly exposed to rain.  Ensuring all electricals away from water.

Roughly $1 per day, varying depending on several factors; your set temperature, outside temperature, tub size. The system is very efficient with the thermostat switching of the cooling unit once the desired temperature is reached.

Yes. Plugs into a standard 240V Australian outlet.
