It is expensive, slow, and the water is a different temperature every session. The Poolex O'Spa is an ice bath chiller that does the job properly: set your target on the app and \u003cstrong\u003eit takes your cold plunge down to 5°C and holds it there, day after day, with no ice runs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most dedicated cold plunge chillers, it also heats. The same unit warms water to 40°C, so it will run an ice bath in the morning and a hot soak in the evening, or keep a hot tub warm all winter.

It needs water moving through it, so your setup should include a circulation pump (and ideally a filter). Not sure what to pair it with? Get in touch and we will spec the plumbing for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCold water therapy without the faff\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular cold water immersion is widely used for muscle recovery after training, circulation and stress relief. The hard part has always been keeping the water reliably cold. A proper chiller fixes that, and because this one is a reversible heat pump rather than a cold-only unit, it earns its keep all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure which size?
