Plunge Cold Tub

Product introduction

A cold tub, or an ice bath, is similar to a hot tub but also very different. The casing is the same in that a cold tub can be hard shell or inflatable. However, in an ice bath, the water is very cold when compared to a hot tub.

Ice baths work in a similar way to plunge pools in that you should fully submerge your entire body into the water, leaving your head above the water. Cold tubs work by being set to a specific temperature, which is usually close to freezing. Most of the time, cold water pools are placed outside of a property, which can provide different benefits depending on the time of the year.

Some cold tubs can only be set to lower temperatures. However, our cold tubs can be set anywhere between 4 degrees and 40 degrees, so you can enjoy both hot and cold water immersion, depending on your goals.

6 Cold Tub Therapy Benefits to Consider

1. Improve Muscle Recovery
When delayed onset muscle soreness strikes, you want rapid recovery. One of the leading benefits of ice tub treatment is reducing the time it takes to recover from intense workouts and muscle soreness. If you want the fastest alleviation of DOMS, there's nothing better than taking ice baths!

2. Prevent Muscle Soreness
Immersion in cold water causes blood vessels to constrict. Immediately after workouts, muscles and joints can swell. Dunking in ice-cold water can quickly reduce this swelling, helping prevent sore muscles after working out.

3. Quickly Cool Down Your Body
The fastest way to bring your core body temperature back down after a hard workout in the heat is by submerging your body in an ice bath. Having a Bestview Spa cold plunge tub at home makes instant cool-downs possible anytime!

4. Boost Mental Health
In 2007, one research study found cold showers to be an effective aid for curbing depression symptoms. When included in a lifestyle routine, cold showers were found to be complementary to prescription medications in lifting moods. Cold tub therapy produces a flood of mood-boosting neurotransmitters, easing tension and stress and producing a feeling of calmness.

5. Improve Your Sleep with Cold Tub Therapy
Cold tub therapy helps reduce aches and pains, which helps you more comfortably fall asleep at night. Some even find using contrast water therapy, alternating from ice water to hot water, to be effective in helping them fall asleep faster.

6. Boost Your Immunity
CWI therapy can help promote lymphatic system function. Bacteria and bodily toxins are flushed by the lymphatic system, made up of vessels running throughout your body. Microbes and cell waste are carried away, cleansing your body for boosted immunity.

Purchase Factors: What to Know About Cold Tub

Footprint
Ice baths come in a variety of sizes, so knowing how large your designated area will be ahead of time is crucial. Make sure to factor in the tub's footprint as well as additional clearance for comfortable access and moving around the plunge. Account for any necessary equipment (like chillers or stairs) that might take up extra space.

Materials
Popular options include plastic, steel, and fiberglass/acrylic. Here's a breakdown of each:

• Plastic tubs are generally lighter, more affordable, and easier to maintain, but might offer less insulation than other materials.
• Stainless steel offers a sleek look and impressive durability but can be a pricier option that's less comfortable and loses temperature more quickly.
• Fiberglass-reinforced acrylic has a smooth, non-porous surface that's easy to clean, and the combination of material layers makes it a superior insulator to maintain water temperature more efficiently.

Features & Included Items
Many ice bath options come with add-ons or accessories to enhance the cold plunging experience. For example, if maintaining a precise cold temperature is important, consider a plunge with a built-in water chiller and temperature controls (this eliminates the need for constant ice refilling). Features like grab bars or stairs can enhance safety, especially for those with mobility limitations.

Setup & Maintenance
Some ice baths require minimal setup, while others might involve a more complex assembly process and plumbing (our cold plunges require less than 30 minutes to set up or no setup time at all). Factor in the time and tools needed for installation before making your purchase decision. Check the ease of cleaning for each model you consider, including how accessible the filtration system is for replacement or cleaning (for example, our All-In has an easily accessible filter right at the top).

Price
Cold plunges range in price based on size, material, features, and brand reputation. Determine your budget and prioritize the features most important to you. Remember, a high-quality cold plunge is an investment in your long-term health and wellness. With proper care and maintenance, it can serve you for many years to come.

Main Components of a Cold Plunge

Tub
This may seem obvious, but the first and most important piece of any cold plunge is a tank or tub that will fit you comfortably. Some may want to sit more upright, others prefer to sprawl out to have more room or have room to head dunk without their legs coming out of the cold plunge. There's no wrong answer here as long as the tank/tub does not leak.

Water Pumps
This is the heart of the entire system. We use a properly sized pump to make the chiller, filter, and ozone generator work properly. Something to consider when choosing a pump for your cold water bath is that each pipe, add-on, and any vertical height the water needs to flow will cause flow loss. Each of these factors will affect the nominal flow rate of the pump. We use pumps that are durable, reliable, and simple to use.

Water Chillers
The water chiller is the next core component in a cold plunge because it will need a pump to operate - these will not cycle water through by themselves. The water chiller is what puts the COLD in cold plunge.

Filter Housing & Water Filters
The filter housing is what holds your water filter, and is in-line with your chiller and pump. Your pump will push water through the filter, removing sediment and debris. Filters come in all sizes, materials, micron ratings and styles. I recommend a pleated paper filter that is rated for 50 micron. Any micron rating lower than that will clog your filter too quickly.

Ozone Generator & Venturi Injector
The filter keeps stuff out of your water, sanitation keeps your water clean/sanitary. Most cold plunge brands used both UV and ozone to start out but have moved to strictly ozone for sanitation because of it's effectiveness and how finicky UV can be. The ozone generator produces ozone, which is injected into the water line through a venturi injector. Ozone kills pathogens & microorganisms through oxidation, sanitizing the water.
