THE BENEFITS OF ICE BATHS

Cold water immersion is hands down one of the best things you can do for your mental and physical health.

Performance / Recovery

Soothe muscle soreness and inflammation in order for you to recover much faster.

Better Sleep

Enhances sleep quality by calming the nervous system and reducing stress.

Elevated Energy

Increases energy levels by activating the body's natural recovery processes.

Boost Mood

Ice baths raises your baseline dopamine levels, so you're likely to experience elevated mood in your day to day.

Weight Loss

Supports metabolism, aiding in fat burning and weight management due to increased calorie burn.

Immune Support

Strengthens immune response, helping to fight off illnesses.

Stress / Anxiety Relief

Cold water therapy has been shown to decrease the stress hormone cortisol. This study found that regular ice baths helped massively reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.

Recovery / Performance

Cold plunge benefits extend beyond the mental and chemical aspects of your body. Sports medicine has utilized cold water therapy for years to help with the active recovery of your muscles.

Elevated Energy

If you're looking to kickstart your morning or need an afternoon pick-me-up, cold plunging is an incredible way to boost your daily energy. Not only is the icy water rejuvenating, but it also triggers the release of healthy stress hormones that promote alertness. A 2 minute ice bath feels like drinking 5 cups of coffee (just without the jitters).

Better Sleep
  • When you dip into an ice bath, your body triggers the autonomic nervous system - the system that controls your response to stress.
  • When you begin to control your response to stress, you'll likely find that you begin to control your relaxation and sleep.
  • In short it improves sleep by lowering body temperature, reducing stress hormones, boosting mood-enhancing neurotransmitters, and activating the relaxation-focused parasympathetic nervous system.
Boosted Mood
  • Researchers have known for a while that plunging connects to our daily energy. In particular, there is lots of evidence that hormone imbalance can contribute to depression, meaning that a cold plunge might help to reduce depression and improve overall mood.
  • The release of dopamine in the brain during ice baths also further gives you that "happy" feeling which lasts for hours. Additionally, ice baths raises your baseline dopamine levels, so you're likely to experience elevated mood in your day to day.
Stress Relief

Cold water therapy has been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for stress relief by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. This study found that regular cold showers and ice baths helped reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.

Weight Loss

Cold water immersion also activates brown fat — tissue that helps keep the body warm and helps it control blood sugar and insulin levels. It also helps the body burn calories, which has lead to studies showing significant evidence that cold water immersion is an effective way to lose weight and burn calories.

Pain Relief

Consistent ice baths have been shown to increase the baseline amount of hormones and neurotransmitters found in the body and brain alleviating stress by up to 5 times. This neurotransmitter can dramatically reduce inflammation and help with chronic pain.

frequently asked questions

How much ice do I need to add?
  • If you don't opt for the chiller right away, We recommend adding 15-30lbs (7-14kg) of ice to your ice bath per session depending on the initial water temperature. The amount of ice needed highly depends on your tap water temperature, the climate you live in, and how cold you desire it to be. If you live in colder climates, adding ice may not even be needed.
  • We also offer our XXL Ice Bricks which makes huge 3lb. ice bricks in your home freezer that will last significantly longer than regular cubed ice, and melt much slower.
Is the LongPod/IcePod chiller compatible?
  • Yes! Both Pods comes with 2 valves to connect a water chiller.
  • Our Pod Chiller is by far the most affordable ice bath chiller on the market, starting at just $850!
  • No more ice, no more hassle! The ultimate solution for your ice bath routine, that doesn't break the bank, like most other chillers on the market. It brings your water down to a refreshing 39°F (3°C), is equipped with 24/7 water flow & 20 micron filtration for crystal clear water. For indoor & outdoor use, extremely energy efficient & calmingly quiet.
  • Financing available from just $89/month
How do I keep the water clean?
  • To keep the water clean for long periods of time, we recommend getting our Water Maintenance Pack
  • This Pack includes 2 months supply of our custom formulated disinfectant & cleanser you need to have perfect clean and clear water. Using these products, you'll likely not have to change your water for weeks to months.
  • If you don't use sanitizer in your ice bath, we recommend changing the water once per week or every 3-5 sessions.
Does it include a Cover / Lid?
  • Yes! All our ice baths comes with a cover lid to keep debris out of it.
  • We also offer an Insulated Lid for both of the Pods that will keep the water cold for longer.
Can it be set up outdoor?

Yes!

  • We engineered all our Pods to be weather and UV resistant, so you can set it up Inside or outside, even in temperatures below freezing. The insulation layer makes the water turn to ice a lot slower, but we still recommend to stir the water at least once a day to keep the water from freezing completely solid.
  • Our Pod chiller is also rated for both indoor and outdoor use, and covered by warranty, so you can set up your ice bath anywhere without worries.

Please contact us at hello@podcompany.com for more information. 

Is the chiller compatible with my current Ice Bath?

Yes, you can connect the Pod Chiller to any ice bath, bathtub, bucket - you name it. The chiller comes with pump and filter, so you simply put both hoses from the chiller into any body of water to start cooling it. If your tub doesn't have a bottom valve to connect it to, you will need to siphon water into the inlet hose to start the circulation, please refer to youtube on how to siphon - this is necessary as the pump can not start the circulation of water if there are air in the hoses.

Does the Pod Chiller have warranty?

Yes! Every chiller comes with a 1 year warranty, so if you experience any issues or it breaks, we'll simply send you a new one!

The warranty can also be extended for a small fee at checkout, so you are covered up to 2 years.

Is the chiller gonna run up my electricity bill?

No! The Power usage is extremely efficient at just 280watt, which is comparable to the freezer/fridge in your home.

Example of power usage: at 77°F (25°C) room temperature, and chiller temperature set at 46°F (8°C) will consume around 1.4-1.8 kWh per day (every 24 hours). With todays average kWh in the USA that equals to just around $0.8 per day in electricity cost to run the Chiller 24/7. 

(These are estimates and can vary depending on the climate and temperatures where you live).

Does the chiller filter the water to keep it clean?

Yes, our Water Chiller has a 20 micron filter with 24/7 water circulation which filters out hair, skin cells, leaves, sand and other debris. Enjoy a clean and clear ice bath at all times, ready for you when you are.

To maintain clean water for extended periods, we highly recommend getting our Water Maintenance Pack

This will allow you to keep the water in the pod for multiple weeks to months without algae, bacteria, scum and odours developing

Be your own judge of the water condition, and change it when needed. But if you choose not to use sanitizer to disinfect, we recommend changing the water every 3-5 sessions or once per week.

We also recommend cleaning the chiller's water filter once every 1-2 weeks. You simply unscrew the transparent cover, take out the filter, and rinse it with a brush and tap water, or spray it with a garden hose at high pressure. And replace with a brand new filter once a month to not cause damage to the chiller due to restricted water flow.

How much $ will i save on ice with the pod chiller?

Assuming each ice bath session requires around 20lbs of ice on average, and with an average cost of $3 per 10lbs, we have calculated that at 5 ice baths per week, the chiller cost is made back in 2-5 months. Then you can also consider all the hassle saved from buying/making ice and the water filtration system built into the chiller saving you lots of water and time.

Investing in the water chiller is undoubtedly a smart financial & time saving decision if you're a regular ice plunger.

Financing is also available starting at just $89/month

What is the decibel level of the Pod Chiller?

The water chiller is very quiet and the readings that we have made range from 40-45 decibel so around the same noise level as a fridge. 

Why are Pod Company products so affordable?

We get this one a lot, but the answer is surprisingly simple. Our core mission at The Pod Company is to make healthy & wellness accessible to everyone, so you don't have to spend your life savings to be able to afford a good ice bath.

Our water chiller is priced significantly lower than our competitors, because we have developed it from scratch using components from chest freezers. We also negotiate the best prices with our suppliers for materials and components by ordering very large stock quantities, streamline our production process to reduce labor costs, and focus on essential features without adding unnecessary ones.

Our water chiller is a high-quality and affordable option for your ice bath needs, without the huge markup most other brands put on their ice baths, that end up costing $4000+ for essentially the same ice bath and performance.

Yes we operate on lower margins than competitors, but our business works because we bank on customers like you raving about our products to all your friends, and how good of a deal it is - which we know you will after you try it. Our philosophy is that if we always make the best products, and always put the customer first, everything else will follow.

Glad I made this purchase, keeps water at 46 degrees in the 109 degree heat even when the sun is on it. Great product, great price

VERIFIED CUSTOMER

Unfortunately, I fell for one of the poor quality Ice pod knockoffs online. I then purchased this icepod and can confirm it is 10x better quality and way better insulated (stays cold multiple days). Also Mathias from customer support is the best, sent me a new chiller when the one i got broke during shipping. A+ customer care

Kenneth C.

VERIFIED CUSTOMER

Game changer! I've used the ice pod every day since i got it. only need to add ice every 3-4 days as water stays super cold even though it's summer here (got the PRO 2.0 version with extra insulation).

Craig S.

VERIFIED CUSTOMER

We recently switched from the original ice pod to the long pod. The long pod is a bit less cramped and we love the space it provides. it's very comfortable, and with the chiller it's always 40-44F. Happy i found Pod co and didn't spend $6000 on a similar ice bath.
