I hate to be cold, but I absolutely LOVE our cold plunge tub! I have Raynaud’s Phenomenon, and the cold plunge honestly doesn’t turn my fingers white. I actually think the cold tub is helping me tolerate cold better.

It does take a few times to get used to it, and you gradually increase your time. It helps to do long exhales out of your mouth when you are entering the water. It didn’t take long for me to get hooked!

I am amazed at the difference I feel already after three weeks of daily use. My aches and pains are much better, including my arthritis and bulging disc in my back, I feel more alive, alert and centered and I’ve noticed an improvement in that word recall problem that one can experience in their mid to late 50’s.

While the ads on the website show the chiller and tub out in the open and next to a pool, the company recommends in the instructions to keep it dry, away from water and covered. Customer Service confirmed this. To resolve this, my husband bought a small plastic outdoor storage box, drilled holes in each side and added a vent in the back, and it works great to keep it dry and away from water.

I can’t stop telling people how incredible having a cold plunge tub is. If you’re thinking about it, just do it. You won’t regret it!

I had an Ice Barrel 400 and got sick of slugging ice around all summer. So this year I bought the Ice Bath Pro with the Ultra X2 chiller and couldn’t be happier! The chiller is set to 45*F and holds that temp 24/7 even in the hot sun with air temperatures over 80*F. I was concerned the Ice Bath Pro wouldn’t hold the temperature very well but it works great! So stoked to have such a well functioning cold plunge set up with a chiller for less than my previous Ice Barrel. And no more slugging ice around every day.
