Comparison chill tub ice pools

A professional chill tub ice pool differs significantly from conventional bathtubs or improvised ice pool setups. The chill tub basins have precise temperature control . The temperature can be adjusted precisely and as soon as it is reached, only the filter pump . As a result, the water remains constant at the desired temperature. At the chill tub, two different time zones can also be set. This can avoid, for example, that the pelvis is cooled during the day, since you usually want to rise to the ice pool during the day. With the Chill Tub Pro, it is even possible to control the ice pool precisely from a distance and cool, for example, while you are still on the move. The water is constantly cleaned by a particle filter and ozonator . Most tubs and tubs have no or if, then only very rudimentary insulation. As a result, a lot of energy is lost, especially in summer and the pool has to be completely cooled down again for every ice pool. The chill tub ice cream trucks are well insulated to keep the cold efficiently and minimize energy consumption. In addition, there is also a cover that also holds the cold back. Depending on the chill tub variant, different materials are used that are robust and durable.

There are three cooling pool variants from the chill tub: Chill Tub Lite, Chill Tub Original and Chill Tub Pro. You can find an overview of all chill tubs here:

Chill Tub Lite

The chill tub lite consists of a black plastic shape in which the chiller is firmly installed. The special advantage is that the shape is very light and therefore the chill tub with a chiller weighs only around 85 kg of dry weight. In addition, the Chill Tub Lite has a modern design, it is not just a rectangular ice cream tray. The water volume is 400 liters.

Hygiene and water pollution

The hygiene and cleaning of the water is of course an essential part of every cold plunge . The chill tubs come with two filter systems:

Ozonator

An ozonator usually works by taking oxygen (O₂) out of the air or an oxygen tank and converting it into ozone (o₃) by an electrical discharge process. The generated ozone is then introduced into the water, where it has its disinfectant and cleaning effect. The main functions and advantages of an ozonator for water pollution are:

  1. Disinfection : Ozone is very effective when killing bacteria, viruses, protozoa and other microorganisms. It destroys the cell walls of microorganisms and thus prevents their reproduction.
  2. Oxidation : Ozone can oxidize organic and inorganic contamination in the water, which convert them into more harmless substances. This also includes the removal of smells and flavors caused by organic compounds.
  3. Distance from chemicals : ozone can dismantle various chemicals and pollutants in the water, including pesticides, herbicides and other organic pollutants.
  4. No residual product : Ozone disintegrates to oxygen relatively quickly, which means that it does not leave any harmful residues in the water. This is an advantage over other disinfectants such as chlorine that can leave residue.
  5. Efficiency : Ozone works very quickly and needs shorter contact times compared to other disinfection methods.

An ozonator an effective and environmentally friendly device for water pollution, which is used for both disinfection and to remove contamination.

Pump filter

The cartridge filter should be replaced every 3 months. The filter is located near the cooling device and can be replaced very easily and quickly.

Chill tubs' energy consumption

The energy consumption always depends on several variables and is therefore not really easy to determine. On the one hand, it depends on the amount of water, on the set temperature (the warmer the lower), from the cooling duration (the cooling device runs permanently or only in advance for the Cold Plunge ) and extremely important on the outside temperature.

The manufacturer states that the chill tubs consume electricity around 3-5 kWh per day.

Commissioning

The installation and commissioning of the chill tubs ice basin is very simple. Immediately after delivery, the device must be set up flat and not put into operation for 24 hours. This can set the gas. After that, the connection is very light as in the 4 steps below. The pool is filled by a normal garden hose and can be cooled down immediately.

Chill tubs instructions installation

The installation location should be chosen so that a distance of 50 cm around the cooler is guaranteed. This can optimally circulate the air. The socket should be 1-2 meters from the chill tub for safety reasons. The cooling process should start within 6-12 hours (depending on the ambient temperature) in front of the first ice bath.
