Ice Bath Compact Cold Plunge Tub – Complete Set with 3–50 °C Cooling and Heating Unit, Ozone Disinfection and Filtration

The Ice Bath Compact cold plunge tub gives you everything you need for cold-water immersion at home or outdoors in one package. At the heart of the set is a cooling and heating unit that lets you set the water temperature for cold plunges or warm it up, so you can use it all year round. The tub has a capacity of 480 l (recommended fill level: 1/2 to 2/3 of its capacity), is made of high-quality PVC, and comes with an inflatable lid, air pump, repair kit and storage bag.

Cools and heats

Unlike standard cold plunge tubs, this unit can do both. You can set the temperature precisely within a range of 3–50 °C. This is useful for two reasons. Few people start at three degrees, and even tap water can be colder in winter than you feel ready for. You can therefore set the temperature to, for example, 15 °C, stay at that temperature for several weeks and gradually lower it as you adapt. Cold-water immersion is a gradual process, and a tub full of ice does not give you the same control over the temperature. The display shows both values side by side: the current water temperature on the left and the target temperature to which the water is being cooled or heated on the right.

Heating also protects the unit itself. Water that freezes in the hoses or inside the unit can damage it (and is one reason a warranty claim may be rejected). If you leave the tub outdoors during freezing weather, you can use the heating function to keep the water above freezing.

Benefits for your body

Immersion in cold water is now one of the most popular wellness rituals. Athletes often include it after a demanding workout as part of their recovery routine and as a welcome way to soothe tired muscles. Many people enjoy cold baths all year round as part of caring for their fitness, resilience and immune health, while others love the unmistakable feeling of freshness and invigoration. There is a mental aspect too: getting through those first few seconds in icy water is a small test of willpower, followed by the satisfying feeling that you have done something for yourself. Whether you take cold plunges for your body, your mind or both, having your own tub means one is always within reach.

Clean water without unnecessary chemicals

Two systems help maintain water hygiene. Ozone disinfection (O3) helps keep the water clean and reduces the need for chemicals. The removable, washable stainless steel filter (80 mesh, 180 μm) also captures fine particles as small as 0.18 mm. Simply rinse the filter every 2–3 weeks. Do not forget to clean it, however, because a clogged filter restricts water flow and can permanently damage the unit.

Performance and mobility

The pump has a flow rate of 1,200 l/h for rapid circulation and even cooling. The unit uses natural R290 refrigerant, has an IPX4 protection rating and is designed for continuous operation (after 7 days of continuous operation, we recommend a break of several hours). Four wheels with brakes make it easy to move, while the inflatable tub can be folded into the storage bag once drained. If the PVC is ever punctured, you will find a repair kit in the package. Apply a patch and the tub will be ready to use again after approximately three hours.

Who it is for

• You exercise and focus on recovery: Cold baths are a popular part of post-workout recovery routines.
• You are just starting out and three degrees feels daunting: Set a temperature you feel comfortable with and gradually lower it as you adapt.
• You want to take cold plunges all year round: The unit both cools and heats, so you can use it in every season.
• You do not want to deal with ice: The water cools automatically to your chosen temperature, so you do not need to buy ice.
• You need flexibility: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, with wheels for easy movement and a tub that is easy to store.

How to use the Ice Bath Compact

Place the tub on a level, solid surface. Bear in mind that, at the recommended fill level, the water alone weighs approximately 240–320 kg (not including the person or unit). Before placing the tub on a balcony, terrace or in an upper-floor apartment, check the floor’s load-bearing capacity. We also recommend placing a protective mat under the tub to protect the surface beneath it. Inflate the tub with the supplied pump and fill it with water to between 1/2 and a maximum of 2/3 of its capacity. Position the cooling unit next to the tub, lock the wheels and connect it using the inlet and return hoses (2 m). Remember to attach the short condensate drain hose to the underside of the unit. If the connections leak, check the rubber seals in the hose fittings and use PTFE tape if necessary.

Before starting the pump, check that the valves are open and the tub is filled – never run the pump dry. Then switch on the unit, start the pump and use the arrow buttons to set the target temperature. Press the O3 button to disinfect the water.

Safety and care

Never leave a filled tub unattended, and keep children and animals away from it – a filled tub presents a drowning hazard. Place the unit and tub on a level, solid, dry surface. Do not run the pump dry, and never allow water in the system to freeze – either can damage the unit. Protect the tub from prolonged direct sunlight and keep it away from fire and sharp objects. When using the unit outdoors, protect it from heavy rain and snow – the IPX4 protection rating means it is resistant to splashing water, not continuous rain. Do not operate the control panel with wet hands, and connect the unit to a grounded power outlet. Do not use harsh chemicals such as concentrated chlorine or pool chemicals for cleaning, as they can damage the PVC and the unit’s internal components. After use, drain the water, wipe down the tub and let it dry completely before storing it. Clean the filter every 2–3 weeks.
