Frequently Asked Questions

We want your Rituals to come easy. Here, we answer all of your questions about our ice bath tubs. If we don’t answer them here, simply get in touch.

Product Use

All of our cold plunge tubs are extremely simple to set up.
The Warrior and Original Dual features an automated chiller unit that can be WIFI controlled via the Tuya Smart App which is available to download for free on IOS and Android. Pair your unique plunge tub to the app and control your temperature remotely with your phone for cold or hot plunge on demand.
Our Portable and Easy Plunge options take minutes to inflate and can be packed down into the carry bag included.
It is important to ensure your space has adequate drainage and air flow and are only set up in water safe spaces where condensation and water spillage to do present an issue.
The chillers are designed to run 24/7, with a powerful 0.8, 1 or 2HP chiller units depending on your tub of choice. For optimal running efficiency, the tub should be covered when not in use and the filter cleaned on a regular basis. You can also set automated timing schedules via the Tuya App to have the unit power ON/OFF at times suited to your daily routine.
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.
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.
Ice baths and saunas both offer benefits for exercise recovery.
In general, an ice bath is an ideal form of recovery following endurance based, cardio style exercise. Ice baths are not ideal following strength training.
Contrast therapy, using periods of cold plunge followed by sauna is also an effect form of recovery for athletes.
For the optimal running of your Plunge Tub we recommend changing out water every month or sooner if you are using a chiller and once a week or sooner if you are using without a chiller.
While water quality remains the responsibility of the end user, you can extend the life of your water by practicing good pre plunge hygiene by washing the body and feet off well, and always skimming the water with a spa net post plunge.
It is recommended to change out your filter every 3-4 weeks, based on a daily use by a single person.
To extend the life of your filter, we recommend showering before every plunge and minimising the dirt and particles that enter the ice bath by using the top cover after every use.
We provide five (5) paper filter replacements with each order, and more can be purchased on our website.
All of our plunge tubs with chiller units are freestanding and do not require any plumbing installation.
Both the Roman, Original Dual and Warrior tub feature a drain valve that allows a standard 12 or 18mm garden hose to be attached to direct the water to a floor waste, drain or garden for drainage. The Portable tub varieties feature a drainage valve to empty the water.
You must have a licensed electrician install a suitable weather-proof power source close to where you you will use the tub, and for maximum safety avoid using extension cords.
We recommend at least overhead protection from the elements as direct sunlight exposure will significantly affect cooling performance. Our chillers are IPX4 rated, meaning they are able to withstand rain splash.
All of our tubs are suitable for users up to 6’ 5”. For tall humans, we highly recommend our largest and most formidable tub - The Warrior - which suits those up to 6’7” and has the largest tub capacity of all our tubs.
Although our Chiller units are automated, it is important to maintain a regular maintenance protocol to keep things running smoothly and avoid damage to mechanical components. This includes:
- Monitoring flow rate which should remain between 17-20L/min
- Regularly checking and cleaning (weekly or sooner) internal metal particulate filter which catches hair, floating debris and fluff.
- Regularly checking the replaceable paper filter for soiling
- Keeping the internal tub surfaces clean and regularly skimming the water for floating debris
- Monitoring water quality and changing water as required, we recommend water change every 4 weeks at a minimum

Ritual Specifications

The lowest temperature that the Ritual Dual Plunge Tub can reach is 3 degrees Celsius or 37.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
The maximum temperature of our chillers can reach is 42 degrees Celsius or 107 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Ritual Plunge Tub chiller unit has the ability to chill the water down to the minimum and heat to the maximum temperatures in approximately 6-8 hours from room temperature (or 4-5 hours for the 2HP model)
To take the water from its minimum to maximum temperature (or visa versa) takes approximately 12-14 hours.
Note that exposure to the elements will dramatically affect cooling/heating performance.
The amount of energy or electricity that the Ritual Ice Bath Tub uses varies largely on the ambient or outside temperature that the ice bath is being used in. If the ice bath is positioned in an area that receives a lot of direct sunlight, it would consume more energy to cool the water.
The energy consumption of the ice bath also depends on how frequently the chiller unit is changed from cooling to heating which uses more energy to change the temperature of the water.
In general, energy consumption for the unit is about $2/day based on a once daily use of the ice bath at its minimum temperature.
