Chill Tub's Ice Baths - Quick set up guide

Ice bath set up - Quick guide to setting up your Chill Tub

Ready to brave the cold with your new home ice bath? You've taken the first step and you are now well on your way to experiencing the cold plunge benefits. Lets get your chill tub set up and ready to use. 

Ready to plunge into your new at home ice bath? Before you crank up the chill, here are two key steps to consider:

    1. Free the air vents: Make sure nothing blocks the vents on the chiller/fan unit on the side. Blocked vents can prevent your Chill Tub from cooling properly.
    1. Let the coolant settle: Once you've found the perfect spot for your new recovery tub, lay it flat for 24 hours. Think of it like a fridge or freezer - the coolant needs time to settle before you can use it. You can fill the ice tub with water after this rest period, but wait another 24 hours before turning it on.

For detailed instructions and safety information, remember to consult the full chill tubs manual before taking your first cold water plunge. 

Step 1: 

Place a garden hose into your new cold water plunge pool. Your new ice bath will be completely filled within 15-30 minutes, depending on your water pressure. For the Chill Tubs Pro ice bath, please fill via filter housing. 

Step 2: 

Plug in your home ice tub into a 13amp plug socket and set your desired temperature on the ice baths control panel. 

Step 3: 

After a few hours wait, you will be able to start using your new chill tubs home ice bath. 

Step 4:

We recommend emptying your ice bath water every 8-12 weeks and then repeating the steps as outlined above. We hope you enjoy your new at home ice bath!

benefits of cold plunge

Ice baths for muscle recovery

Cold water therapy, as offered by Chill Tub, can contribute to faster athlete recovery by mitigating muscle soreness. The mechanism behind this benefit lies in vasoconstriction, a process where blood vessels narrow in response to the cold. This constriction reduces blood flow and, consequently, the inflammatory response within the muscles. By minimising inflammation, cold water immersion helps lessen muscle soreness, potentially leading to improved recovery times and a quicker return to optimal performance, just one of the many benefits of cold plunge.

Cold water therapy for mental health

Feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety? You're not alone. But what if there was a natural way to melt away tension and find inner peace? Enter the refreshing world of cold immersion therapy, right in your own home with the Chill Tub.

Studies suggest cold water therapy can be a powerful tool for managing stress and anxiety by:

Regulating Your Body's Chemistry: Cold water exposure triggers the release of endorphins, our natural feel-good chemicals. These can elevate mood, reduce stress hormones, and leave you feeling calm and uplifted.

Taming Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is linked to both stress and anxiety. Cold water's anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe that internal fire, potentially easing anxiety and promoting peace of mind.

Hitting the Reset Button: The initial shock of cold water immersion can trigger a "fight-or-flight" response, followed by a deep relaxation phase. This "reset" can leave you feeling calmer, clearer, and better equipped to handle life's challenges.

The Chill Tub makes cold water therapy convenient and accessible. Simply step in, feel the initial invigorating chill, and let the stress melt away. By incorporating this practice into your routine, you can cultivate a calmer, more resilient mind and body, ready to face anything life throws your way.

Chill Tubs Original Ice Bath - FAQ's

What are the benefits of ice baths?

Taking the plunge into an ice bath, also known as cold water immersion, has gained popularity for its potential to enhance overall well-being. Research suggests it may offer various benefits, including reduced muscle soreness after exercise, improved circulation, and even enhanced sleep quality. Some individuals report reduced pain from chronic conditions and a boost in mood. However, it's important to consult a doctor before starting, especially if you have any pre-existing health concerns. Remember, safety when taking on a cold water plunge is very important.

How often should I be using my ice bath?

An ice bath, also known as cold water immersion or cold plunge, is the practice of submerging your body, typically up to your neck, in icy water for a short period. This practice has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among athletes and fitness enthusiasts, for its potential recovery and well-being benefits.

Whilst the benefits of using an ice bath are common knowledge, such as: Enhanced recovery, improved sleep and reduced inflammation, many ice bath users ask the question, How often should you cold plunge? Lets explore how often you should be using your cold plunge tub to notice the benefits. 

How often you use your ice bath can depend on individual fitness levels and goals. 

Ice baths for beginners:

Start ice baths 1-2 times per week, focusing on short durations (1-2 minutes) to allow your body to adapt to the cold.

Ice baths for intermediate users: 

Gradually increase cold water plunge frequency to 3-4 times per week, potentially extending durations up to 5 minutes depending on individual tolerance. 

Ice baths for advanced users:

Some experienced individuals may tolerate daily cold water immersion depending on their fitness levels and personal goals. 


Many factors play a role in determining the ideal frequency of your ice baths. Tailor your cold water immersion schedule to your goals. If your primary focus is recovery, aim for post-workout dips to maximise the benefits of your ice bath. Pre-sleep plunges might be helpful if you're seeking to improve sleep quality. Ultimately, listen to your body's tolerance. If you experience any discomfort, don't hesitate to reduce the frequency or duration of your plunges. Consulting your doctor before starting your cold water therapy journey is important, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions, to ensure your safety and enjoy the benefits of cold water immersion responsibly.

Can I use my ice bath after drinking alcohol?

We strongly advise that you do not use your ice bath after alcohol or recreational drug consumption and use as this can greatly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia.

What temperature should my ice bath be?

Owning a at home plunge pool is a fantastic way to unwind and revitalise at home, but understanding the perfect temperature setting, especially as a new user, can seem a bit daunting. Finding the ideal ice bath temperature is crucial for maximising the benefits of your cold plunge experience while prioritising safety and comfort.

The perfect ice plunge tub temperature is key for a safe and enjoyable ice bath experience. Start by setting yours between 3°C – 4°C (36°F to 40°F), and adjust and monitor for your own comfort. Monitor the temperature regularly to ensure it stays within this ideal range. We recommend having your ice bath at a higher temperature to begin with and gradually reducing as your body becomes more familiar with cold immersion therapy.
