Features
Ice bath for home - designed in Australia
The Roman™ timber ice bath is a beautifully finished red cedar exterior plunge tub with a hard wearing stainless steel interior tub padded with insulation for cooling efficiency.
This premium timber ice bath is suited to your high-end home recovery sanctuary. The design allows for easily installation and setup, with dimension that fit through standard doorway width and streamlined connection points and drainage/fill points that suit a standard garden hose adapter.
Ice Bath or Warm Plunge - You Choose
The Roman™ ice bath is complete with automated Standard 1HP or Pro 2HP Hot and Cold capable chiller (while competitors use weaker 0.8HP chillers for the tub size) and the option to add the matching red cedar timber step and chiller housing that provides a fully integrated look with multiple step configuration options. With safety in mind, each Roman comes standard with an insulated, key lockable lid which keeps your energy consumption low and child safety high.
Advanced filtration and ozone sanitation
Ritual Recovery ice baths provide an automated and no-fuss plunge ritual with the advanced filtration and sanitation system. This innovative technology offers the most simple and hygienic way to take your daily ice bath, ensuring constant pristine water in your ice bath with push button ice bath chiller control.
The continuous water circulation, combined with the three layers of filtration - including 20 micron paper filter, metal particulate filter and ozone sanitation - neutralises bacteria and removes floating particles like dust, lint, hair and other debris to keep your water fresh. The washable paper filtration provides a simple solution to capture impurities, while the ozone function breaks down potential nasties to keep your water quality at safe levels.
Effortless ice bath temperature control
Experience the convenience and simplicity of never having to buy ice for your ice bath or using temperature monitoring with an analog thermometer. With the dedicated App, you can connect your ice bath chiller to your device and have your ice bath controls at your fingertips, allowing you to control ON/OFF timings suited to your schedule, temperature settings, sanitation, child lock and more. Personalise your ice bath experience and even control multiple chillers from your phone or device for your gym, home or wellness space.
Ultra low running costs
The Roman Ice Bath offers ultra-low running costs thanks to its complete insulated wrapping, which keeps the water cold longer and reduces energy use. At less than $1/day to run, Its chiller features a smart power-saving mode that automatically switches off the compressor once the set temperature is reached and only turns back on when needed, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimal electricity costs.
What’s underneath matters too.
The Roman Ice Bath isn’t just beautiful on the outside - beneath the surface lies a precision-engineered stainless steel support frame, built to last. Developed through years of hands-on testing and product refinement and development, this structure ensures rock-solid stability, smart drainage, and lasting performance. It’s what you don’t see that makes the difference.
Potential Benefits of Ice Baths

Cold water reduces inflammation, swelling, and micro-tears in muscle tissue, helping to relieve soreness and speed up post-workout recovery.
-
Vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation enhances blood flow and supports vascular health, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients where your body needs them most.
-
Cold therapy numbs nerve endings and helps decrease chronic inflammation, making it a powerful tool for managing pain, joint discomfort, or overuse injuries.

Your Roman comes with a Digital Manual with setup details, maintenance steps and troubleshooting details.

The Chiller features a 20 micron washable and replaceable paper filter that we recommend changing out once per month based on a single daily plunge. You can adjust this based on your usage - it’s important to wash off before each plunge to extend the life of your filters.
The water should be changed out once per month based on a single daily use, however water quality remains the responsibility of the end user. To keep your water fresher for longer, always skim the water with a skimming net after each use or use a portable Spa Vacuum regularly
The metal filter should be cleaned service the filter once every month or sooner (weekly or sooner in high traffic spaces). When your flow rate drops consistently below 14L/min consistently, this is a good indicator to change paper filter or wash your metal filter out.
To maintain the cedar timber, we recommend wiping with a cloth and re-staining or oiling every 12 months to keep looking fresh.

Our Roman can be purchased with our Standard 1HP Chiller or the Pro 2HP Chiller. Other brands use weak chillers without sufficient power for the volume of water, which results in poor cooling performance.
While both of our Roman chillers offer the same temperature range (3C-40C), the difference is in the speed at which the chiller can cool or heat the volume of water in the Roman.
We recommend the Standard 1HP option for the average user, while we suggest the Pro 2HP Chiller for high traffic spaces that require rapid cooling ability to keep up with frequent use throughout the day.
Below are the specifications of each option:
Input power - 1150W (standard) or 1950W (pro chiller)
Compressor Power - 900W (standard) or 1760W (pro chiller)
Cooling Capacity - 2900W (standard) or 5750W (pro chiller)
Cooling Time (23°C-5°C) - 500L ≤ 6.9H (standard) or 500L ≤ 4.6H (pro chiller)
-
Yes, the Roman is designed to fit easily through standard width doorways to easily move your Roman ice bath to the desired space without requiring dismantling.
-

Yes, the Roman is an indoor or outdoor ice bath featuring a stainless steel inner tub and red cedar external panelling. The Chiller is also suited for indoor or outdoor use, but for optimal cooling and energy efficiency we recommend shaded overhead cover for your ice bath.
-
Yes, if you have limited space the chiller can also be positioned in front of the tub, but it’s still important to note that the chiller fan should not be pointed directly at the tub and should instead be pointed away from any hard surface to allow for adequate airflow and ventilation.
-
We use clear grade red cedar in our Roman ice bath, while others use low grade timber with lots of knots and timber variations to save costs. Red cedar is the perfect timber for ice baths due to its natural resistance to moisture, rot and decay. Its built-in oils and resins protect against the humid environment while providing excellent insulation properties that help maintain cold temperatures efficiently. Cedar also offers unmatched aesthetic appeal with its rich, warm colouring and distinctive grain pattern that enhances any wellness space. This combination of durability, natural insulation and luxurious appearance makes cedar the superior timber choice for premium ice baths.
