The pump moves 55 liters a minute, turning the tub over roughly every seven minutes on the standard and every nine on the XL, through a 5 micron filter, while a built in ozone generator at 200 to 300 milligrams an hour breaks down organic contaminants as it goes.

Between 23 and 34 degrees you cannot simply switch it off for a week while you travel: the engine has to keep running on automatic so the water never freezes, and a burst pipe is explicitly not covered. Every tub in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/outdoor-cold-plunges\"\u003eoutdoor cold plunge\u003c\/a\u003e range has some version of this constraint.

On this model that is 107 or 132 gallons to move, so think about where the water will go before you decide where the tub sits. Most of the northern United States sees nights below that through a normal winter, so for many buyers this is a seasonal tub with a storage routine rather than a year round one.

Icetubs gives the engine an operating air range of 23°F to 104°F with it running, and running it in air above 104°F is a named warranty exclusion in the same clause as the freeze rules. An engine that overheats and stops is not covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThere is a second thing worth knowing before a Phoenix or Las Vegas summer. The 2.18 kW cooling figure is measured with ambient air up to 86°F, inlet water at 68°F and 50 percent humidity. Icetubs does not publish what the engine delivers at 100°F ambient, and a heat pump moving heat into hotter air always delivers less.

The engine built for this market is the 110 volt, 60 hertz version drawing 14.5 amps, which is what the cooling unit documentation and the US distributor data both give.

If you are over about six feet, broad across the shoulders, or you do not want to feel the sides, go XL and make sure you have eight feet of clear run.

The 88.9 inches on the standard is the tub plus the cooling engine at the foot end, where the tub itself is 66.1 inches. On the XL it is 96 inches overall for a 73.2 inch tub. Plan for the full figure, and add about 20 inches of clear air at the engine end for the airflow, because that end cannot be pushed against a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n      \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes it really plug into a standard household outlet?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"itbt-fb\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eIt plugs into a grounded outlet, but the load is 14.5 amps at 110 volts when the engine is pulling hard, a heavy continuous draw for a shared household circuit. Icetubs asks for a grounded outlet protected by a GFCI breaker in the main panel, on a breaker that meets local regulations. Plan on a dedicated circuit and have a licensed electrician set the rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n      \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I leave the Icetubs IceBath outside through a freezing winter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"itbt-fb\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eOnly within limits, and they are warranty conditions rather than advice. Down to 34°F you can switch the engine off. Between 23°F and 34°F it must run in automatic mode around the clock so the water never freezes. Below 23°F you detach it, store it indoors and drain the tub. A burst pipe is specifically not covered. Section 06 has the full table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n      \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill the Icetubs IceBath go on my deck?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"itbt-fb\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis is the model to ask that about, because it is the lightest in the range per square foot. Filled with a bather, Icetubs gives the standard as 83 pounds per square foot and the XL as 79, against 250 for an upright IceBarrel. Decks and upper floors are still built to a specified load, and a figure like this is concentrated over the tub's own footprint rather than spread across the deck, so have your deck builder or a structural engineer confirm the structure can carry it before you order rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n      \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow long does it take to cool down, and what does that cost?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"itbt-fb\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eFrom tap water at around 68°F down to 37.4°F, expect about four hours on the standard and nearer five on the XL in mild conditions. That is roughly 4.9 kilowatt hours of electricity on the standard and 6.1 on the XL, or about 90 cents and $1.12 at the current US residential average. Holding temperature costs far less because the engine cycles, but Icetubs publishes no standby figure and we are not going to invent one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n      \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow heavy is the cover, and can one person manage it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"itbt-fb\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThe cover comes in two sections with webbing handles rather than as one full length lid, so you lift half at a time. On the standard the tub it spans is 66.1 inches, five and a half feet, and that split is the reason a full length plunge is practical to use alone. It clips to the rim with four clips, and the height with the cover on is 28.8 inches on the standard and 31.7 on the XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n      \u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWho fixes the IceBath if the engine fails?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"itbt-fb\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eWe open the claim, you deal with us. Icetubs does not send technicians. They either ship a replacement part with instructions and remote support, or arrange free collection of the component, repair or replace it and return it. Engines are usually collected. Labor for removing and refitting is excluded, as are the ozone generator and the water pump. A replaced part carries the remainder of the original term rather than starting a fresh one.

Icetubs defines light professional use as a business where the tub is not the primary revenue generating equipment, which they give as a small studio, clinic or office, and filters go weekly there. A dedicated cold plunge studio, where the tub is the business, falls outside this warranty entirely and needs separate commercial terms.
