• Without a chiller, the water must be replaced every 10 to 15 days.
• By using one of our chillers (sold separately), the water is filtered and disinfected, allowing it to be changed approximately every 3 months.

To clean the tub, simply rinse it with clear water and soap. Install it on a flat surface, indoors or outdoors.

• Water Temperature: It is not mandatory to use ice to cool the bath: the main thing is that the water remains between 0 and 15 °C to reap all the benefits.
• Gradual Cooling: With practice, you can lower the temperature by adding ice. To produce it easily, freeze bottles, ice packs, or containers filled with water.
• Use one of our chillers: To keep the water cold without using ice, a chiller (sold separately) can be used. It can cool the water down to 3 °C and automatically turns on if the temperature rises, to reach the target temperature.
• Alternative Ice Sources: You can also get large quantities of ice for free from supermarkets.

• Without a chiller: The length of time the water stays cold depends on several factors: its initial temperature, the amount of ice added, and the ambient temperature. It is therefore difficult to give an exact time.
• With a chiller: The water stays continuously cold and can be cooled down to 3°C. The chiller automatically starts as soon as the temperature rises, in order to reach and maintain the target temperature.

There's no specific time that's best for an ice bath; it depends on your schedule. In the morning, it can boost your energy and make you more productive. In the evening, it helps with relaxation and improves sleep. Ultimately, the choice between morning and evening depends on your preferences and needs.

Frequency: 1 session per day maximum. Ideally, expose yourself to cold for at least 11 minutes per week.

Duration: Start with short sessions of 1 to 3 minutes. Gradually increase as tolerated.

Temperature: Water should be below 15°C (59°F) to fully benefit from the effects of cold. Begin between 8 and 12°C (46-54°F), then, once accustomed, you can go down to 3°C (37°F).

Tip: Go slowly and listen to your body. Respect your limits and adjust the duration according to your sensations. If you feel unwell, get out of the water immediately.

IMPORTANT: If you have health problems, a doctor's advice is mandatory before using the ice bath.

DO NOT PRACTICE IF YOU ARE IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CASES:

This practice is strongly discouraged and requires medical advice for people in the following cases:

If you are pregnant, have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure, have diabetes, wear a pacemaker, have a history of frostbite, have an open wound, have recently undergone surgery, suffer from epilepsy or have other health problems or risks.

For minors, a doctor's advice is mandatory.

Immersion in ice water can lead to a significant drop in body temperature and constrict blood vessels, which, combined with health problems, can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other complications.

SIDE EFFECTS

It is also important to note that prolonged exposure to an ice bath can lead to side effects such as hypothermia, frostbite, rapid heartbeats, arrhythmias, allergic reactions, and anaphylactic shock.

OUR BEST ADVICE

Despite these warnings, when used correctly, ice baths can offer many benefits for mental and physical health. We recommend starting with short sessions in the ice bath, from 1 to 3 minutes maximum, and gradually increasing the exposure time, always listening to your body's signals and avoiding pushing it beyond its limits.
