Cold water therapy for physical health

Unlock physical benefits with the therapeutic treatment and recovery technique of cold water immersion. Icy water stimulates the nervous system, so you can experience improved performance and faster recovery, ice tubs can also reduce muscle soreness, so you're ready for your next workout. Cold water immersion can stimulate blood flow for better circulation, endurance and resistance to fatigue.

Icy water also constricts blood vessels and helps to reduce inflammation, ideal if you suffer from inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. Cold water therapy can help speed up your metabolism and boost energy levels, so you're feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Research has even found that exposure to 4°C for 30 minutes increases the number of T-cells which fight off viruses, so your immune system will thank you too!

Ice water immersion for mental wellness

Diving into near-freezing water can trigger a surge in norepinephrine production, this can leave you with increased focus, energy and a refreshed mood. A study has shown that 20-30 second dip in near freezing water can provide the same level of increase in norepinephrine as a 6 hour walk in 16°C weather.

Immersing yourself in icy water helps you relax and feel calm, as well as strengthening mental resilience long term and improving sleep quality. Indulge in the transformative power of cold hydrotherapy after a long day of work - a Chill Tub is perfect way to chill out!

Please note: we advise you to consult your healthcare professional before using an ice tub, especially if you are pregnant or have any health concerns. Get more advice in our guide to cold water therapy.

No ice cubes needed - just chill!

The Chill Tubs Essential Pod requires minimal maintenance and removes the need for stocking up on ice, thanks to its insulating properties. Just fill up the tub and refresh the water once per week. Enjoy the convenience of the water being chilled when you hop in, no matter the weather.

FAQs

What is a chill tub?

Chill tubs are ice baths that offer the benefits of cold water therapy in the convenience of your own garden. Our chill tubs keep water icy cold so you can experience cold immersion that helps to improve physical health and mental wellbeing.

How do I set up my ice tub?

Simply inflate the tub with the floor pump provided. Once the tub is inflated, use your garden hose to fill it with water (to roughly 15cm below the top ring). Although they aren't necessary, to reduce the temperature further we recommend adding ice or ice packs. The Chill Tubs Essential Pod is insulated and will maintain the water temperature for longer than you expect.

How do I keep the water clean?

We recommend changing the water once per week without any additives. Make sure you keep the lid on when not in use. To extend the life of your Chill Tubs Essential we recommend washing the inside surfaces with warm soapy water.

How do I clean my ice tub?

Never clean your Chill Tubs Essential with a strong bleach-based detergents, as this may degrade the materials and waterproof seals. To extend the life of your Chill Tubs Essential, when you drain the water, we recommend washing the inside surfaces with warm soapy water

How long should I go in my ice bath?

We recommend you work up to 15 minutes without pushing your body beyond its limits - even 2 minutes will have some benefits. We advise you to consult your healthcare professional before using an ice tub. Learn more in our cold water therapy safety guide.
