Can I use ice in my Cold Plunge?

Yes, you can use ice in your Cold Plunge to help lower the water temperature quickly. Adding ice can be especially beneficial when you first fill the tub or if the ambient temperature is warmer than usual. However, it's essential to be cautious about how much ice you add.

While ice helps cool the water effectively, too much can lead to extreme cold temperatures that may not be safe for prolonged exposure. Typically, a few bags of ice can substantially chill the water without making it dangerously cold.

For instance, if you're preparing for a post-workout recovery, start with ice and monitor how your body responds. Many users find that a temperature of 50°F to 60°F is effective for recovery without causing shock.

A pro tip is to experiment with the amount of ice to find your ideal temperature preference, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.

However, if you find yourself needing to use large amounts of ice frequently, it might indicate that the chiller unit isn't functioning efficiently and may need to be inspected.
