Frequently asked questions

What is an ice bath and how does it work?▾

An ice bath is a container filled with cold water into which you immerse yourself for a short time to deliberately expose the body to a cold stimulus. The water temperature is usually between three and fifteen degrees Celsius. The cold stimulus activates the autonomic nervous system, promotes blood circulation and releases endorphins.

What health benefits does regular ice bathing offer?▾

Regular ice bathing can accelerate recovery after exercise, reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system and improve mental resilience. Many users also report more energy, better sleep and increased stress tolerance in everyday life.

How long should you stay in an ice bath?▾

For beginners, two to five minutes are recommended, while experienced users can spend up to ten or fifteen minutes in the ice bath. What matters most is your own body awareness: the duration should be increased gradually, and you should leave the water immediately if numbness or severe discomfort occurs.

What temperature is ideal for an ice bath?▾

The ideal temperature is typically between three and twelve degrees Celsius. Beginners usually start with milder temperatures around ten to twelve degrees and gradually work their way to colder ranges. Even temperatures below fifteen degrees can achieve positive effects.

Do I need special equipment for ice bathing at home?▾

To get started, an insulated ice bath tub or a special cold plunge container is sufficient. Useful additions include a lid for covering, a water thermometer, a chiller unit for constant temperatures and non-slip mats for safe entry and exit. High-quality models offer integrated filter systems and temperature control.

Who is ice bathing not suitable for?▾

People with cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, Raynaud's syndrome or certain neurological conditions should seek medical advice before ice bathing. Ice baths are also not recommended during pregnancy and in cases of acute infections. If in doubt, a medical consultation before the first cold bath is advisable.

How do I clean and maintain my ice bath container?▾

Regular cleaning with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner keeps the pool hygienic. With standing water, filter systems or occasional water changes help prevent deposits. After use, the container should be covered to protect the water from contamination.

Which type of ice bath suits me – mobile or permanently installed?▾

Mobile ice bath tubs are flexible, space-saving and suitable for beginners as well as for users who want to use the ice bath seasonally or in changing locations. Permanently installed cold plunge systems with chiller units offer consistently low temperatures without ice cubes and are ideal for anyone who wants to ice bathe several times a week all year round.
