Size and ice
The tub's real dimensions, drawn to scale. Right below, a calculator estimates how much ice it takes to bring your water down to the temperature you want.
Wall and lid
The tub wall has three layers: PVC on the inside, where it touches your skin, a pearl foam core lined with aluminum on both sides, and PVC-coated nylon on the outside that sheds water. On top, the insulated lid and the dust cover keep out sun, leaves and dust. To be clear: this insulation slows the warming, it doesn't keep water cold the way a chiller tub does. Keep the lid on and add ice.
Setting up
Unfold the tub on flat, clean, stable ground. Slide the six support tubes into their sleeves, then inflate the top ring with the included hand pump: it's the only part that inflates. Place the cushion, fill it with water, then fill the tub. You sit on the cushion with your back straight. To drain, use the side hose or the bottom plug, outdoors, in a shower or over a floor drain. Never tip the tub over when it's full: the tubes could slip.
Everyday use
The tub folds up and moves around, but once it's full, it stays put. Pick the spot before you fill it: flat ground that can take the weight, some shade, and a place for the drain water to go.
In the backyard, set the tub on flat, stable ground cleared of stones and twigs, ideally in the shade: in summer, the sun warms the water faster. Keep the lid closed between plunges. To drain, the side hose sends the water toward a drain or a corner of the lawn.
On a balcony or patio, think about weight first: when full, the tub holds about 730 lb of water, plus the person in it. Ask your building manager or HOA what load is allowed. Also plan where the drain water will go, using the included hose, so you don't flood the deck or the neighbors below.
Indoors, choose a garage, a laundry room or a room with a floor drain, or set the tub near a shower. The bottom plug then sits right over the drain. The floor must stay flat and strong enough for the weight, and the lid closed when not in use, especially if children live in the home.
Safety first
Cold plunging is done calmly, and a few simple rules come first. Talk to a doctor before your first plunge if any of the situations below apply to you. Get in slowly, breathe calmly, keep your head above water and start with 1 to 2 minutes. Get out right away if you feel dizzy or have chest pain, numbness or uncontrollable shivering. No alcohol, drugs or medication that makes you drowsy before or during a plunge.
Side by side
For an ice bath at home, you have three options: this kit, a bathtub or converted chest freezer, or a tub connected to an electric chiller. Here's how they compare, by category, with no brands.
| Specification | Ice Bath Tub | Bathtub or chest freezer at home | Tub with an electric chiller |
|---|---|---|---|
| What keeps the water cold | Ice, lid and insulated wall | Ice, or a converted freezer plugged in near the water | Electric chiller running continuously |
| Space and storage | Folds into its bag | A bathroom or a large freezer | A permanent spot |
| Setup | Alone, no tools | Depends on the equipment | Installation and an electrician |
| Draining | Side hose and bottom plug | Bathtub drain, otherwise depends on the equipment | Depends on the model |
| Electricity | None | None for a bathtub, outlet power for a freezer | Outlet power, with an electrician |
| Empty weight | 8.4 lb | Depends on the equipment | About 35 to 42 lb for rigid inflatable tubs |
| Price checked Sept. 28, 2026 | Shown on this page | Depends on the equipment | Depends on the model |

FAQ
It makes sense if you want an ice bath at home without a permanent setup. The tub unfolds when you need it, then folds back into its bag when the season or your space calls for it. It doesn't make cold on its own: you add ice. We don't promise any effect; many people who do it simply say they like the feeling of freshness.
Yes, that's what this tub is. Outside, it measures 33.5 in across and 29.5 in tall (85 x 75 cm); inside, 31.1 in across and 26.8 in tall (79 x 68 cm), for 87 gallons (330 L). You sit upright on the water-filled cushion, knees bent, with the water up to your shoulders depending on your height. The to-scale drawing above helps you picture it.
It depends on the amount of water and how far you want to cool it. In theory, cooling 66 gallons from 68 °F to 54 °F takes about 48 lb of ice; in practice you need more because of heat loss. The calculator above does the estimate for you. The tub has no chiller and isn't designed to take one.
We don't give a figure, because no measurement has been made. How long the cold lasts depends on the outside temperature, the sun and how often you open the tub. To make it last: keep the lid closed, the tub in the shade, and add ice just before your plunge. In summer the water warms faster; the insulated wall slows that down without stopping it.
It's the most common complaint about this type of tub, at the bottom or around the support tubes. When it arrives, run a 24-hour leak test before your first plunge. Two repair patches are in the box. If a leak shows up on arrival, email us with photos of the spot and the water level: the shop offers an exchange.
Yes, on level ground that can hold about 730 lb of water, plus the person. For a balcony or an upper floor, ask your building manager or HOA what load is allowed. Outdoors, keep the lid closed and never let the water freeze in the tub: before a hard freeze, drain it, dry it, then fold it and store it.
Start with 1 to 2 minutes and build up gradually; no ideal time is promised. See a doctor before your first plunge if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, a heart rhythm disorder, a circulation disorder (including Raynaud's), diabetes or epilepsy, or are pregnant or under medical treatment. Never plunge alone. The tub is not for children (drowning risk): lid closed when not in use. Get in slowly, no alcohol, head above water, and get out at the first sign of discomfort.
For the United States, the kit ships free from stock located in the US, so there's no customs step for you. It's prepared in 1 to 2 business days, then delivered in 3 to 8 business days, an estimate rather than a guaranteed date. Payment goes through Stripe, and your card details never reach our site; any sales tax is shown before you pay. You have 30 days after delivery to change your mind, satisfied or your money back, on top of any rights your state's law gives you.
