Cold plunge involves immersing the body in cold or ice water to stimulate health benefits and treat health conditions. The premise being that cold water eases pain by causing blood vessels to constrict and reducing blood flow to the area (which is the reason ice reduces swelling and inflammation).
There is some debate but leading experts recommend anywhere between 8-15 degrees Celsius/46.4-59 degrees Fahrenheit for anywhere from as little as 2-20 minutes. It’s best to start with a higher temperature/shorter time and give yourself the goal of adjusting the variable to challenge yourself as you become accustomed to using ice baths as a recovery or resilience training . Advanced ice bathers sometimes go as low as 3 degrees Celsius/37.4 degrees Fahrenheit. (Which is why our ice baths chill that low!)
We recommend taking an ice bath at least 3-4 days per week for optimal results. The latest science indicates that the minimum effective dose to achieve the metabolic benefits of ice baths is 11-15 minutes per week.
That depends on your performance goals. If you’re looking to improve your endurance, you want to cool before, during or after. Whereas if you are looking to build strength, it’s ideal to wait 4hrs after training to get the body to respond to the stimuli. If you’re just looking for the overall general physical and mental health benefits, soak in an ice bath post training. There have been studies done that as little as 11 minutes total during the week broken down in 2-3 days has a significant response in activating your metabolism.
Whilst cold showers are a great start to your cold therapy journey, ice baths are the best way to unlock the ultimate benefits. Ice baths create a more intense and effective experience by causing all your skin’s receptors to fire in unison. This intensity triggers a “protection response” from your body which releases feel-good hormones and lowers cortisol. Furthermore, the hydrostatic pressure helps your body conduct heat transfers more efficiently than a shower or cryochamber, given the water density.
Ice bathing and cold water exposure is generally a safe practice, however we recommend consulting a medical professional if you are concerned with pre-existing medical conditions and the contraindications of cold exposure.
No! Ice baths have an array of physical and mental health benefits for anyone wanting to feel and operate at their best. Many people use ice baths for resilience training; that allows them to overcome stressful situations in their daily lives in a controlled way. High performers such as Tony Robbins use ice baths daily to stimulate their body and mind and help them achieve their work, life and exercise goals. In fact it's one of the strongest controlled stimuli for activating noradrenaline and dopamine, that's why you feel great and want to do it again!
Akash DualTemp Water Chiller will do it for you, creating a consistent ice-cold temperature, and it can generate heat too. Just connect two water pipes from the tub to the chiller. Tub can be used without a chiller and designed for ice too, if that’s what you prefer. The material of Akash Tub can help maintain the cold temperature, so you can buy fewer ice bags.
It can maintain cold temperatures up to 5 - 6 hours, depending on ambient conditions which is still plenty of time to complete your icy plunge. A chiller extends this significantly, keeping your water icy whenever you want.
It takes around 20-30 minute to fill up 80% of the tub.
It's built to accommodate individuals up to 6ft 9, but please refer to the specific weight capacity in the manual.
The maximum recommended pressure is 10 PSI. Filling past 10 PSI will void the warranty and may cause irreparable damage to the Tub. It takes around 5-8 minutes to inflate the Akash Tub.

The unit carries 1 Horsepower (HP), which cools the water down roughly cooling or heating at a rate of 43-46°F (6-8°C) /hr.
The unit carries 0.8 Horsepower (HP), which cools the water down roughly cooling or heating at a rate of 40°F (4°C) /hr.
The chiller is capable of functioning in ambient temperatures ranging from as high as 113°F (45°C) to as low as 35°F (2°C). However, it is advised not to operate the chiller in temperatures below 35°F (2°C), as there is a risk of the unit freezing and potentially sustaining significant damage. Please note that our warranty does not cover damage resulting from usage in conditions outside this specified range.
Ultraviolet (UV) and ozone filtration in the water chiller ensure clean, safe water by eliminating harmful microorganisms and impurities. UV light effectively kills bacteria and viruses, while ozone gas acts as a powerful oxidizing agent to break down organic contaminants and odors. Together, these advanced filtration methods maintain crystal-clear, hygienic water, enhancing the overall quality and safety for users.
