What cleaning is required?
Minimal maintenance is needed. The Chiller uses ozone purification and dual-filtration to keep your water clean. You can activate cleaning with a single tap or set it on a schedule—simply drain and refill your tub/pod once every 1-2 weeks.
How long does it take to cool?
It reaches our recommended optimal temperature of 49–52°F in 1–3 hours from average U.S. tap water (60–70°F).
How does the app work?
The Chiller connects to our free mobile app, letting you control temperature, start or delay cooling and cleaning remotely. You can also time and track your plunges, monitor progress, and share results—all in one simple, user-friendly interface.
Can I run the Chiller continuously?
Yes. The Chiller is built to run 24/7 and will automatically turn on and off to maintain your set temperature energy-efficiently.
Is the Chiller compatible with any tub?
Yes! It’s designed for universal compatibility. If your tub holds water, the Chiller will work with it.

We keep our margins low so you get premium cold therapy without inflated pricing. Our mission is to make recovery accessible, and our loyal community is built on delivering value, not overcharging.

The pump is now neatly integrated at the end of one hose, with no wiring clutter and a stainless steel filter attached. The new integrated pump is compatible with any ice bath, bath tub, pod, barrel etc.
Why use a Chiller instead of ice?
Using ice is expensive, messy, and inconvenient. The Chiller cools your water for just $0.19 per day on energy (about $69 per year)—a tiny fraction of the $20/day you'd spend on ice, paying for itself in just one month.
Bonus: Unlike ice, the Chiller also cleans and filters your water, so you don't need to empty and refill your tub after every use—saving you time, effort, and water.
How often should I ice bath, and at what temperature?
For best results, we recommend ice bathing daily, though even once a week can deliver noticeable benefits. The ideal temperature range is 49–52°F, which provides all the benefits of cold plunging while minimizing energy usage.

Absolutely. It’s engineered to keep your tub icy-cold even in high and low outdoor temperatures. We also offer lifetime support and provide extensive articles on our help center to help you get the most out of your chiller.
Is the Chiller safe to use?
Yes. It’s built to meet strict safety standards and thoroughly tested. Just follow the instructions provided and always use it with care.
