Cold water therapy works best with the right combination of time and temperature. For example, if you're in a 10°C water, we recommend staying in for no more than 10mins.
Temp to Time Examples
1°C = 1min Submersion
3°C = 3min's Submersion
5°C = 5min's Submersion
10°C = 10min's Submersion

We've designed our bath to fit anyone up to 2.1m tall (6' 7"), with thanks to our local rugby friends at Exeter Chiefs.
ALWAYS consult your doctor before using an ice bath if you have any health issues!
DO NOT USE if you are: - Under 18 years of age, Pregnant, have history of heart disease or high blood pressure, have diabetes, complications such as neuropathy or retinal damage, you wear a pacemaker, history of frostbite, have an open wound, had recent surgery, epilepsy or any other health concerns or risks.
Using an ice bath can dramatically decreases your body core temperature. The immersion in cold water constricts blood vessels and slows the flow of blood around the body, which combined with health complications, can cause your blood pressure to rise and give you a higher chance of cardiac arrest or stroke.
Side effects
The most noticeable side effect of an ice bath is feeling intense cold, but other side effects of staying in an ice bath for too long are: - hypothermia, frostbite, tachycardia (fast heart beat), arrhythmias (abnormal heart beat), allergic and anaphylactic shock.
Our recommendation
Despite the potential side effects and warnings, using an ice bath correctly actually has many health benefits! We will always recommend you begin by spending no more than a few minutes in the ice bath, and slowly working you way up to the recommended time, never push your body beyond its limits.

-
Yes, it does!
The Recovery Pod MAX includes both the Thermo lid and Rain Cover, all as a complete package.
-
Yes, its fine to add Epsom Salt to your ice bath, there are some really good reasons why you would want to!
Espom salts are safe to use, and may have health benefits by supplementing your magnesium levels, but chloride salts (e.g., table salt, road salt) are not safe to use.
-
Always keep the lid on when not in use, to help prevent any debris falling in!
We recommend changing the water once per week without any additives.
When you drain the water from your Pod, to extend the life of your next fill, we recommend washing the inside surfaces with warm soapy water.
-
Yes you can!
If you'd like the water to last longer, using Bromine tablets or powder should extend the usable time up to 1 month.
Bromine is more skin-friendly and lasts longer than Chlorine in cold water and you'll need very little to be effective.
-
We've designed our bath to fit all sizes up to 2.1m tall (6' 7"), whilst minimising water and cooling requirements.
-
Super easy! Simply use a hose-pipe, a bucket or container, and add room temperature water. Once filled to approximately 70% full, you'll be ready for your first dip!
Later, we recommend adding ice or ice packs to reduce the temperature further. Our Pods are insulated top, bottom and sides, so will maintain the water temperature for longer than you'd expect!
-
Our Recovery Pod MAX is integrated with 5x thermal insulated TPE layers, a Thermo Lid, and Rain Cover to lengthen the time at a given temperature.
