Convert your household bath into an ice bath with the revolutionary CryoHome chiller. The chiller kit comes with digitally controlled temperature, hoses, carry handles and transport wheels. No more shopping for ice – just drop the chiller hoses into your bath and relax while the water is pre-chilled to your desired temperature.
If you prefer a complete professional ice bath choose one of the indoor or outdoor CryoHome Spas:
This is a polyethylene ice bath with lots of hydrostatic pressure due to it’s depth. It is favoured by professional and amateur athletes alike. It comes complete with skim filtration (a requirement for commercial use), steps, floating cover and UV sanitisation.
This ice bath has a polyethylene interior and is clad in wonderful red cedar. The chiller can be supplied as is or in a matching red cedar cabinet for indoor or outdoor use. This model is favoured in the home and wellness sectors and by Wim Hof enthusiasts. It comes complete with slim filtration, matching wooden lid and UV sanitisation.
This is an all wood ice bath – Thermowood for greatest longevity – and comes complete with matching steps, wooden lid and internal seat. This model is favoured by Eco enthusiasts and those on a budget. It is supplied with inline filter as standard or with skim filtration as an optional extra.

The therapeutic effect is a factor of temperature and time. The colder it is, and the more penetrating that cold, then less time is required to cool the tissue to a therapeutic level.
Traditional ice baths consisted of adding ice to water and depending on the amount of ice versus the amount of water these ice baths could be as high as 10 or 12C [50 – 55F]. In these circumstances, the recommended dosage varied from 10 to 15 or even 20 minutes.
With modern digitally controlled ice baths, or CryoSpas, which chill by conduction and convection [i.e. the jets are creating a ‘wind chill’ effect], the average treatment time is typically 3 to 6 minutes.
The primary purpose of an ice bath is to aid recovery and reduce the level of DOMS [delayed onset muscle soreness].
The mechanisms include aiding normalisation of body temperature, flushing out muscles due to constriction of blood vessels & compression through hydrostatic temperature, a decrease in metabolic activity, balancing of the sympathetic & parasympathetic systems and a reduction in muscle damage.
Athletes report feeling more energised at the following training session and report reduced muscle soreness enabling them to train more effectively.
The other commonly reported consequence is that fatigue is reduced and fatigue is the main precursor of injury [Gregory Dupont et al]. Therefore, using an ice bath reduces fatigue and lowers the risk of injury.
