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

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

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 is Podcompany so affordable VS competitors?

We hear this question often, and the answer is simple. At The Pod Company, our mission is to make health and wellness accessible - not a luxury reserved for the few. 

To give a clear example, our Pod chiller priced below many competitors because it has been engineered from the ground up, utilizing proven components adapted from chest freezers. We secure favorable pricing by purchasing materials and components in large volumes, streamline our production to minimize labor costs, and prioritize essential functionality over unnecessary add-ons. 

The result is a reliable, high-quality ice bath chiller that delivers outstanding performance for ice baths, comparable with chillers retailing for 2-5x the price of ours, without the excessive markups typically seen in this industry.

How do I keep the water clean & sanitary?

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.

Is the Ice Pod Pro / Long Pod easy to set up with the Chiller?
  • Yes! Both Pods comes with 2 valves to connect to our Pod Chiller, and will take about 10 minutes to set up.
  • Our Pod Chiller is by far the most affordable ice bath chiller on the market, It normally retails at $1197, but you get it as a part of this bundle at almost 50% off due to our clearance sale.
  • The Pod Chiller means no more ice, no more hassle! It is 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 41°F (4°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 $75/month
Can it be set up outdoors?

Yes!

  • We engineered all our Pods to be weather and UV resistant, so you can set it up Inside or outside, even in high heat or 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 can also be used both indoors and outdoors so you can set up your ice bath anywhere without worries. Do be cautious in freezing conditions, and follow the recommendations in the manual that comes with your Chiller.
How much ice would be needed without a chiller?

If you don't have a chiller, we recommend adding 15-40lbs (7-18kg) of ice to the Ice Pod 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.

As you can see, it quickly becomes a huge hassle and expensive doing ice baths this way, which is why we highly recommend getting this warehouse clearance bundle which comes with a chiller.

We also offer our Ice Bricks which makes huge 3lb. ice blocks in your home freezer that will last significantly longer than regular ice cubes, and melt a lot slower. This is the best chiller alternative if your budget is limited.

What are the benefits & best ice bath practices?

What are the benefits of cold therapy?

Ice baths help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation, speeding up recovery and enhancing physical performance. By calming the nervous system, cold immersion improves sleep quality and lowers stress levels, while also boosting baseline dopamine for a more positive mood throughout the day. Regular use has been shown to increase energy, strengthen the immune system, and even lower cortisol levels, reducing anxiety and promoting mental clarity. For anyone looking to feel stronger, recover faster, and improve overall wellbeing, ice baths are a quick & simple yet powerful practice.

How long should you stay in an ice bath?

You should aim to stay submerged in cold water for between 5- 10 minutes. We recommend building up to this if you're new to ice baths and cold plunging. Try 2 mins in, 2 mins out to begin with and build up to 10 minutes over time.

What temperature is recommended for ice baths?

An ice bath should typically be between 4C to 10°C (40°F to 50°F). This temperature range is cold enough to provide all the health benefits associated with cold plunging. We recommend making the water "uncomfortably cold", you should gradually reduce the temperature over time as your tolerance improves.

How do i drain the Pod?

The Ice Pod comes with a tap at the bottom for draining. To drain it, connect a standard garden hose or simply open the tap depending on where the pod is set up.

For draining it indoors or over longer distances, we recommend getting our 9ft IcePod Drain Hose

How much $ will I save on ice with the chiller?

Each ice bath session typically requires 15–40 lbs of ice. At an average cost of $3 per 10 lbs, five sessions per week quickly add up - meaning the Pod Chiller pays for itself in just 3–4 months. For regular users, it’s a practical investment that saves both money and time while eliminating the hassle of buying ice. The simplest, most efficient way to enjoy cold water immersion.

Is the Chiller gonna run up my electricity bill?

No, the Power usage is only 280-500 watt, which is comparable to the freezer 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 1.4-2 kWh per day (every 24 hours). With todays average kWh in the USA costing $0.35, that is just around $0.5 at per day in electricity cost to run the Pod Chiller 24/7. (These are estimates and can vary depending on the climate and temperatures where you live).

How often should I clean the water filter?

The Pod chiller has a 20-micron filter, this keeps your water sparkling clear and clean at all times. We recommend cleaning the pod filter every 1-2 weeks. Simply take it out and rinse it with a brush and tap water. The fil

Replace the filter monthly to prevent restricted water flow and protect the chiller from damage.

You can order chiller replacement filters here

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.

What is the decibel level of the Chiller?

The water chiller is very quiet, see the readings below. 

Standard chiller measures ∼44db noise level (comparable to a fridge)

Pro chiller measures ∼55 decibel noise level (comparable to a dishwasher)

Is the chiller compatible other ice tubs

Yes. The Chiller can easily be used if you already own a tub, it is universally compatible. To purchase the Pod chiller separately, check out the Universal Chiller product page. The Universal chiller is the same chiller, but comes with the neccesary adaptors and fittings for a seamless 5-minute connection to ANY ice bath tub!

If you already own a Pod from us, but want to get the chiller for your setup, you can buy the Pod Chiller separately here

If you have any questions or need help, please email hello@podcompany.com

How cold can it make my water?

Our chiller can cool the water in your ice bath down to 39°F (5°C).

It can keep it at that temperature with minimal power consumption as it works on thermostat, which only turns on once every hour, to sustain the selected water temperature, resulting is minimal power consumption.

What temperature do you recommend to set the Chiller at?

We recommend starting out at around 59°F (15°C) if it's your first time, and then slowly lowering the temperature and duration for each session. That way your body will get acclimated to the cold.

We recommend setting the chiller temperature to 46°F (8°C) or above, as this will ease the power consumption & load on the chiller.

The recommended temperature from clinical studies has shown that the benefits from ice baths and cold therapy are achieved at any temperatures lower than 59°F (15°C)

Upgraded from another companies cheaper pod and immediately noticed a different in both quality and lay out.  The new one is bigger and I absolutely love the chiller, that is a game changer and worth every penny

Ken P.

VERIFIED CUSTOMER

I got the ice bath, chiller, and cover set. They are all incredible! Water is consistently at 50F (give or take 1F) and it's quiet, clean, and was easy to set up. Fit perfectly in my outdoor gym, and have used it every day so far. Really glad I got it; so far completely worth it!

Jack L.

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.
