IceBarrel by IceTubs

Best For: Serious cold therapy users who value upright immersion, precision control, and premium craftsmanship.

Overview

The IceBarrel by IceTubs offers a distinctive, upright cold immersion experience in a thoughtfully designed, compact form. Unlike standard horizontal tubs, the IceBarrel supports a seated, vertical posture, allowing full-body submersion with minimal space requirements. With built-in chilling (and optional heating), precise temperature control, and high-end materials like thermo-treated wood and stainless steel, this unit is crafted for performance and aesthetics.

This is not just a plunge—it’s a cold therapy system built for those who want both comfort and control.

Key Features

• Upright Design: Perfect for users who prefer a seated, vertical experience. It minimizes footprint while maximizing immersion.
• Full-Body Submersion: Thanks to its cylindrical shape, users can comfortably sink into cold water up to the neck.
• Precise Temperature Control: Adjust temperatures between 3°C and 38°C, making it versatile for both cold plunging and contrast therapy.
• Three-Stage Filtration System: Keeps your water clean with replaceable filters (included).
• High-End Materials:
  • Stainless Steel 304 interior for strength and durability (IceBarrel XL uses fiberglass instead).
  • Thermo Wood Exterior for a rustic look and weather resistance.
• Optional Heater Upgrade: Enables contrast therapy or warm soaks if desired.
• Includes: Thermo cover, steps for safe access, 3 filters, and a 2-year warranty.
