Questions we get asked

If yours isn't here, send it over and we'll answer it directly.

How long will delivery take?

We dispatch within 1–2 business days, and delivery takes a further 3–5 business days. Shipping is free on every order with no minimum. We ship within the United Kingdom only.

Which model fits me?

Every tub states a maximum user height, and the Barrel models state a load limit too. The Pod range is rated to 2.00 m, Barrel 400 and Barrel Chill to 2.20 m and 170 kg, and Barrel Rigid to 2.30 m and 150 kg.

Buy above your measurements rather than at them. A rigid Barrel also gives more usable depth than an inflatable wall of the same stated height.

What's the difference between a Pod and a Barrel?

Pods are inflatable. They use insulated or drop-stitch walls, inflate with the included hand pump, and deflate and fold into a storage bag. Four models, from £120.

Barrels have a rigid aluminium or high-pressure drop-stitch structure that stays standing. More usable depth and higher load ratings. Three models, from £139.

Do I need a chiller, or is ice enough?

An insulated tub with ice costs less upfront but has a cost every session. A chiller costs more upfront and then runs on electricity alone, holding the water at 3°C on a thermostat with no preparation before you get in.

Two models ship with a chiller: Pod Chill at £300 and Barrel Chill at £500. Barrel Rigid carries dual chiller ports if you'd rather add a unit later.

What's included in the box?

Contents vary by model and the full list is on every product page. The Pod, for example, ships with the tub, a ThermoDome thermal lid, an all-weather protective cover, hand pump, support poles, drain hose and connector, seat cushion, thermometer, storage bag and a repair kit.

Can I use it indoors?

Yes, on any firm and level surface. The thing to check first is load. A filled tub plus occupant can exceed 400 kg, so confirm what your floor, decking or balcony is rated to carry before you fill it.

How do I empty and store it?

Every model includes a drain hose and connector, so you can run the water to a drain, shower tray or the garden. Inflatable Pods then deflate, fold and go back into the storage bag. Barrels stay assembled or collapse down depending on the model.

Is cold water immersion safe for everyone?

No. It carries a risk of cold shock and cardiac events. Don't use one alone, keep sessions short, and get out immediately if you feel unwell, dizzy or short of breath.

It isn't suitable during pregnancy, or for people with heart conditions, high blood pressure or circulatory disorders, without speaking to a doctor first. Keep children and non-swimmers under direct supervision whenever a tub holds water, and empty it or fit the cover when it isn't in use.

What if I change my mind?

You can cancel within 24 hours of ordering if it hasn't shipped, and return within 30 days otherwise. Refunds are processed within 3 business days of the return reaching us.
