Check PriceFrequently Asked Questions
How is an ice bath different from a cold plunge?
An ice bath is typically a simpler, uninsulated-to-well-insulated tub cooled with manual ice, while a cold plunge often includes a built-in chiller and filtration system.
How much ice do I need?
This varies by tub size, insulation, and starting water temperature — check your specific tub's guidance rather than a one-size-fits-all rule.
Can I use an ice bath indoors?
Yes, many portable ice baths are designed for indoor or outdoor use — just plan for water disposal and any splashing.
