Polar Recovery Tub/Portable Ice Bath for Cold Water Therapy Training/Cold Plunge tub for Athletes - Adult Spa for Ice Baths and Soaking

This cold plunge has been a fantastic addition to my wellness routine! I'm impressed with its design; it looks very professional once assembled and fits nicely on my patio and in my garden without being intrusive. The price point is excellent – so good, in fact, that I'm tempted to buy a second one to share the experience with others! It's also very easy to maintain. Performance-wise, it held ice for about an hour in direct sun on a hot day, and overnight, the ground temperature effectively cooled the water. For upkeep, I highly recommend chlorinating the water (about a tablespoon of chlorine) and using a litmus test to monitor the chlorine PPM. With proper research and care, this cold plunge seems like it's built to last a lifetime!

We purchased the Polar Recovery Tub Portable Ice Bath for our son, who plays both high school football and baseball, and it's been a game-changer for his recovery routine. The setup was straightforward, and the tub is spacious enough for him to fully submerge comfortably. After intense practices and games, he uses it to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation, and he’s noticed a significant improvement in his recovery times. The tub holds the cold temperature well, and the sturdy design ensures durability. It's become an essential part of his post-game routine. Highly recommend for athletes looking to enhance their recovery process.

There are cheaper tubs on Amazon that do the same exact thing. This tub does not add any extra benefit vs another “polar tub”. We paid just under $90 for this one, and I found another with similar reviews at $45 and they’re made of the same material with the same functions. One adult used this daily for 3 weeks before the blow up top ring burst. The top ring no longer holds air and the hole is too large to patch. The description stated it was suitable for outdoor use, and that’s where it has been, it received regular cleaning and maintenance. We took great care of it. We talked our neighbors into buying the same tub, and their ring burst after the first clean/refill. they kept their tub indoors. I’m not sure environment was a factor, but the tub is not worth the money with cheaper options out there. My kids have blow up pool toys that have weathered the elements longer and are more durable. You’ll have better luck spending either less money for similar quality. Or more money on something more durable.Editing to add:The company reached out very quickly after my original disappointed review, which was unexpected but welcomed. They emailed us offering a refund or a new tub! We chose the new tub as we enjoy the product and functionality. We’re hopeful it’ll hold up. Regardless of the outcome, with customer service like this, the price becomes well worth it! I edited my star rating from 2 stars to 4 stars.another Edit to add:it has been roughly 7 or 8 months since my initial review, the replacement tub has held up wonderfully. The company stated after my initial review that we may have received a faulty product and that they stand by their quality. after receiving the replacement tub, I also agree and stand by their quality. changing my review to 5 stars. with the quick and amazing customer service, the quality of the product, and the price, it was all worth it.

This Ice Bath Tub is excellent for cold water therapy. I got it as my son insisted I get one as he thinks its good for you.... I tried it and couldn't sit in more than 30 secs, but I'm sure I'll get better doing it more often. It’s large enough to comfortably fit adults, and the big capacity is perfect for a full-body plunge. Easy to set up and use outdoors, it’s great for athletes looking to improve recovery. Durable and well-designed, it’s a great investment for those into ice baths and soaking.

This is a great looking pod for cold plunging. It sets up quickly, and has everything you need to get started.Our whole family uses our plunge, so it’s a variety of sizes. I’m around 6 feet tall and 220. My son in the photo is 6’1” and 167. The water level is where it is, in order to not overflow when I plunge. I can not plunge any deeper than he is in the photo, he could probably fully immerse, if the water level were higher. We keep our plunge on the lanai, and I don’t want water flooding out each time.We are using the Vevor 1/4 HP chiller. It got the water down to 61 degrees the first night. It started at 88 degrees. It’s very hot here in south FL. The second night it got down to 56 degrees. I think for this to be a cost effective option, and to reach colder temps, it’ll require additional insulation. The layers of material do seem to provide some insulation, but not nearly enough. The pod sweats a lot all day long.We really like the concept of this plunge, but I think we need a larger one. Mostly because of my size. If only one person is using it, or if it doesn’t matter if it spills over, the size won’t matter. It’s really not completely important to us. But I really want the option to fully immerse, and not spill water over.It’s a good tub, and a fine option, as long as the few compromises to adversely impact your situation.

My husband has thoroughly enjoyed his plunge tub! However, it only lasted 5 months due to a broken valve. Sadly, the release valve broke off when he was cleaning it/ refilling it, so it is now leaking and cannot hold water. I'm very disappointed in the life span of this product as it says it can be outside (and this was outside from June-Nov. so not winter temps even). The tub itself seemed durable but the valve was quite brittle. This was a great tub for the five months and was used regularly; nearly daily. He's 6'1" and 200 lb. and it worked very well for his size and needs. Frustrated it couldn't last longer...now in the market for another one.Update: after my review, I was contacted by their customer service and offered a free refund. Very pleased with their great customer service and fast response! Bravo!
