FAQs

How is the ice bath delivered and what does the package include?

The ice bath tub is delivered flat-packed with all components including the insulated tub, cover lid, six support legs, drain hose, and a free water thermometer. The standard round size includes a pump and carry bag. The XL oval does not include a pump. All items are shipped to your UK address with a user manual.

What size ice bath should I choose for my garden?

The round standard tub (80cm diameter) suits most domestic gardens and fits up to 2m tall adults, with a carry bag for storage or relocation. The oval XL (120cm length) provides more immersion space and is better for larger frames or those with mobility needs. Measure your available space and consider how many people will use it regularly.

How long does cold water therapy in an ice bath take to work?

Typical cold water immersion sessions last 2-10 minutes, depending on your experience and tolerance. Beginners should start with shorter durations and warmer temperatures, gradually building up. The included thermometer helps you monitor water temperature to ensure safe and controlled sessions.

Can I keep the ice bath running year-round in the UK?

Yes, the insulated design allows year-round use in UK gardens and indoors. Winter offers naturally cold water, reducing the need for ice or frozen bottles. In warmer months, you can use frozen drinks bottles or ice to maintain lower temperatures. Change the water every 1-2 weeks and use a small amount of chlorine tablet to keep it clean.

What maintenance does the ice bath require?

Drain and refill the water every 1-2 weeks to keep it fresh and hygienic. Use a tablet or powder chlorine in small amounts to disinfect the water between changes. The drain tap and hose make emptying straightforward. The insulated cover lid should be used when not in use to protect the tub and retain temperature.
