Cold Plunges — Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature should I set for a cold plunge?
Common set points range from 39–55°F (4–13°C). Beginners often start warmer (50–55°F) and lower the temperature gradually.
How long should sessions last?
Typical sessions are 2–5 minutes for newcomers, building to 5–10 minutes as tolerated. Always listen to your body and consult a professional if unsure.
Ice bath vs. chiller — which is better?
Chillers deliver precise, repeatable temperatures with less mess. Ice-only setups are cheaper upfront but require frequent ice and more maintenance.
Can I place a cold plunge outdoors?
Many models are outdoor-rated. Ensure a level surface, GFCI power, and protect plumbing from freezing in winter climates.
Do I need filtration or chemicals?
Integrated filtration and UV/ozone keep water clearer longer. You’ll still need to test water and refresh/clean per the manual.
How often do I change the water?
Depends on bather load, filtration, and sanitizer. Many users refresh every 2–4 weeks with proper maintenance.
What electrical setup is required?
Most chillers need a dedicated 120V/15–20A GFCI outlet. Higher-power units may require 240V. Check your model’s specs.
Is cleanup difficult?
Rinse after use, skim debris, clean filters, and wipe surfaces. Use manufacturer-approved cleaners to protect finishes.
Can I add hot therapy to the same tub?
Some systems support heating as well as chilling. Verify operating ranges and switching procedures in the manual.
What’s the difference between inflatable and rigid tubs?
Inflatables are space-saving and portable; rigid tubs are more durable, better insulated, and often pair with stronger chillers.
Any safety considerations?
Use GFCI outlets, avoid alcohol before plunging, and exit if you feel numbness, dizziness, or chest discomfort. Consult your clinician if you have medical conditions.
How do I keep the tub clean between uses?
Shower before plunging, use a lid when not in use, maintain filtration, and follow the sanitizer regimen recommended for your system.

Space & Placement Guide

Consideration Recommendation
Footprint & Access Measure doorways and turns; allow service access for the chiller and filtration.
Surface Level, load-bearing surface (patio, slab, or reinforced floor). Use anti-vibration pads if needed.
Power Dedicated GFCI 120V/15–20A (or 240V where specified). Avoid extension cords.
Water & Drain Nearby hose spigot and drain/sump make fills and refreshes easier. Protect from freezing climates.
Ventilation Indoors, ensure airflow to manage humidity; outdoors, use a cover and shade.

Room Build Checklist

  • Power: GFCI-protected 120V/20A dedicated outlet (model dependent).
  • Placement: Keep the chiller intake/exhaust clear; avoid closed cabinets without ventilation.
  • Drainage: Plan a safe path for periodic draining; protect floors from splashes.
  • Weather: In freezing climates, winterize or bring equipment indoors.
  • Water Care: Use lid when not in use; follow sanitizer/filtration schedule.

Delivery Path Checklist

  • Measure access: Confirm box/crate vs. doors, hallways, gates.
  • Clear route: Protect floors and remove obstacles on delivery day.
  • Power ready: Test GFCI outlet before arrival; position near final location.
  • Fill plan: Have hose & water source ready; plan first sanitization.
  • Debris plan: Save packaging until the system is verified working.

Care, Warranty & Shipping

Rinse after sessions, keep the lid on when idle, clean filters, and refresh water per your sanitizer protocol. Most units include limited manufacturer warranty. Freight or parcel shipping varies by model; white-glove setup may be available.
