It is very easy. Simply use a hose-pipe, bucket, or container to add room temperature water until the bath is approximately 70% full. Later, you can add ice or freezer ice bricks to reduce the temperature further. The Core Ice Bath is insulated on all sides to maintain the water temperature longer, including a thermal lid & cover.

The Core Ice Bath is built with 6 thermal insulated layers, a thermal lid, and a dust/leaves/rain cover to lengthen the time at a given temperature. If using outside - using the ice bath outside under shade maximises the passive overnight cooling effect if located in a cold area, and ensures sunlight doesn't heat the bath directly. Add ice or ice blocks as needed. Use the included digital thermometer to measure temperature.

The Core Ice Bath packs down into a carry bag with an included carry handle, making it easy to transport. As a portable ice bath, a key advantage of our Ice Bath is that you can travel with it for competitions, events, sports training, business trips, holidays and more. Bring the PeakMe Core ice bath experience with you - wherever you're headed.

The water will remain cold for 1-3 days after ice is added, depending on the ambient temperature of the area & whether the bath is exposed to direct sunlight during the day.

We recommend starting at a temperature around 10-15 degrees Celsius.

We recommend the PeakMe Core Ice Bath. It is portable, quick to setup, lightweight and versatile. The Core Ice Bath is suitable for group events and individuals alike, cost effective and comes with a digital thermometer/timer for session tracking and an absorbent towel for drying, for the complete ice bath experience.

One of the most common questions we get is, "How much ice do I need for my ice bath?" The answer depends on the volume of water and the desired temperature.

To make this easy, PeakMe has developed an Ice Bath Temperature Calculator. This handy tool helps you determine the exact amount of ice needed to achieve your optimal ice bath temperature. Simply input the current water temperature, the volume of your ice bath, and your target temperature, and the calculator will do the rest. It's the perfect way to ensure you get the most effective and refreshing ice bath every time.

To clean the ice bath, first drain all the water. Then, rinse the bottom and sides with a hose. Use mild soap or diluted vinegar to clean without damaging the tub. Don't use harsh cleaning chemicals. Ensure to prevent dirt, leaves, oils, sunscreens and other contaminants from entering the ice bath.

Always cover the ice bath with its lid when not in use to prevent debris from entering. If not adding any chemicals or using an suitable filter/sterilisation device, change the water weekly. After draining, wash the inside surfaces with warm soapy water to keep it clean. Installing a high-quality water filtration system can also help keep the water clean (use filters with plain clean water only, unless specified by the manufacturer).

If you use the ice bath daily, it's advisable to change the water at least once every two weeks. For optimal cleanliness, weekly water changes are recommended.

With proper maintenance, such as covering the bath and using recommended additives like bromine (others listed below), the water can be kept clean for 3-5 days or longer. Some users manage to keep it for up to two weeks with diligent upkeep. This can be extended for a practically unlimited period when using a UV sterilisation & water filter setup, however the walls of the ice bath may require cleaning occasionally, sometimes requiring the bath to be drained.

Yes, installing a water filtration system is highly recommended. These systems can remove impurities such as minerals, sediments, and bacteria, ensuring clean and safe water for your ice bath. Some high-end ice bath chillers feature built-in filtration, including options with UV sterilisation. Ensure regular maintenance of the filtration system for optimal performance.

Yes, ultraviolet (UV) light sterilises water by killing or inactivating harmful microorganisms. Use a UV steriliser to treat the water in your ice bath, especially effective in maintaining hygiene without chemicals. Warning: Ensure proper installation and regular maintenance to keep the UV system functioning correctly. Do not look at a UV lamp during operation.

Yes, adding Epsom salts to your ice bath is usually safe and can provide additional health benefits by supplementing magnesium levels. However, avoid using chloride salts such as table salt or road salt, as they are not safe.

Yes, bromine tablets or powder can be used to keep the water clean for up to a month. Bromine is usually gentle on the skin and lasts longer in cold water compared to chlorine. Use small quantities appropriate for the smaller volume of the ice bath.

Yes, chlorine is effective for water disinfection, killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Use chlorine tablets, granules, or liquid chlorine bleach to maintain appropriate chlorine levels in the ice bath water. Warning: Overuse can cause skin and eye irritation. Always follow manufacturer instructions for proper dosing - this is very important to get right. Chlorine is often less safe than other chemicals.

Yes, hydrogen peroxide can be used to sanitise the ice bath water. It destroys harmful pathogens and is less harsh than chlorine, leaving no strong odours. Add hydrogen peroxide according to the recommended dosage. Warning: Ensure correct concentration to avoid skin irritation. Always follow safety guidelines.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Yes, ozone is a powerful oxidiser that can kill bacteria and viruses. An ozone generator introduces ozone into the ice bath water, providing continuous disinfection. Warning: Ozone generators require professional installation and regular maintenance to ensure safety and effectiveness. Follow instructions carefully - ozone devices must not be used indoors or in enclosed spaces, as ozone if inhaled can be extremely dangerous.

Keeping an ice bath clean when used by multiple people requires stringent hygiene practices. Ensure that everyone showers or wipes down their feet before entering the bath to minimise the introduction of dirt and bacteria. Use a cover to protect the bath when not in use and regularly replace the water after each heavy use.

Additionally, consider installing a water filtration system designed for ice baths to help remove impurities. Cleaning the bath with a suitable disinfectant like diluted vinegar or mild detergents after each session is crucial to maintain hygiene. Regularly monitor and adjust the water’s pH and sanitiser levels using appropriate chemicals. Some water chiller devices include both water filtration and UV capabilities.

When operating ice baths for business use, consider consulting water filtration professionals to meet your business's requirements & ensure participant safety.

For high-frequency use in gyms or events, it is essential to maintain a rigorous cleaning schedule. Implement a protocol where users must clean themselves before using the bath. Install a robust filtration system capable of handling high loads, which may include UV sterilisation or ozone treatment.

In such environments, it is practical to empty the ice bath at the end of each day to avoid frequent filter changes and potential equipment breakdowns from excessive load. Using commercial ice machines to refill the bath can be effective to easily maintain the desired ice bath temperature. Use appropriate chemicals like chlorine or bromine, amongst others, to disinfect the water, and ensure the proper pH balance is maintained to maximise the effectiveness of these sanitisers. Regular inspections for cracks, leaks, and other issues should be conducted to prevent contamination.

No, sun exposure will not usually damage the ice bath when the cover is used. Please note that cleaning chemicals can sometimes reduce the life of plastics and make them more susceptible to sunlight/UV damage. We recommend keeping your ice bath in the shade, or in a suitable location indoors, to minimise temperature gain from direct sunlight.

Ice baths enhance recovery by changing how blood and other fluids flow through the body. When exposed to cold water, blood vessels constrict and then expand upon exiting the bath, flushing out metabolic waste from post-workout muscles.

Ice baths are beneficial for everyone, not just athletes. They help boost metabolism, support the immune system, and aid in overall recovery and stress relief. Suffer from fatigue? Experience the rush of using an ice bath every morning and be ready to conquer every day.

Ice baths cause blood vessels to constrict and then expand upon exiting, facilitating a rapid temperature change that helps flush out metabolic waste and promotes recovery.

Always consult your doctor before using an ice bath if you have any health issues. Do not use if you are pregnant, have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, complications such as neuropathy or retinal damage, wear a pacemaker, have a history of frostbite, have an open wound, had recent surgery, have epilepsy, or any other health concerns.

The most noticeable side effect is feeling intense cold. Other side effects of staying in an ice bath too long include hypothermia, frostbite, tachycardia (fast heart rate), arrhythmias (abnormal heart rate), and allergic or anaphylactic shock.

Research shows that to enhance recovery, you should aim to accumulate 11 minutes per week in the Ice Bath. This can be done all at once or in shorter durations, such as 2 x 5 minutes with 2 minutes out of the bath in between.

Enhanced Cardiovascular Function: When you're in a sauna, your body's temperature rises. In response, blood vessels near the skin dilate, increasing blood flow. This process, known as vasodilation, can improve cardiovascular health over time. Regular sauna use has been linked to lower blood pressure, reduced risk of heart disease, and improved arterial compliance, making your heart's job easier and more efficient.

Detoxification Through Sweating: Sweating is one of the body’s natural ways to eliminate toxins. The intense heat in a sauna accelerates this process. As you sweat, your body sheds various toxins, including heavy metals like lead and mercury, and chemicals like BPA. This detoxification aids in overall health and can improve skin condition.

Immune System Boost: Regular exposure to the heat of a sauna can stimulate the production of white blood cells. These cells play a critical role in your immune system, helping to fight off illness and infection. This immune response is part of the reason sauna users often report fewer colds and flu.

Stress Reduction and Mental Health: Heat therapy has a significant impact on the body's stress response. The warmth of a sauna can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, leading to a reduction in stress levels. Additionally, the heat can lower levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress. This relaxation effect is not just immediate; it can have long-term benefits for mental health, including reduced anxiety and depression symptoms.

Muscle Recovery and Pain Relief: The heat from a sauna can penetrate deep into muscle tissue, helping to relax muscles and relieve tension. This is particularly beneficial after exercise, as it can reduce muscle soreness and speed up recovery. Heat therapy is also used to alleviate chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis and fibromyalgia, due to its natural analgesic properties.

Improved Sleep Patterns: The relaxation effect of a sauna session extends to your sleep. The drop in body temperature after leaving the sauna can signal your body that it's time to sleep, helping in establishing a healthy sleep routine. Many sauna users report improved sleep quality, which is essential for overall health and well-being.

Unfold and assemble the sauna, and position it on a flat surface. Attach the steam generator and ensure it's connected to a power source. The water level shouldn’t exceed 2L. Use the remote or buttons to start pre-heating, which usually takes around 10-15 minutes.

Yes, you can adjust the temperature settings at any time during your session using the remote control. The sauna offers 9 heat levels, with a maximum temperature of approximately 55°C.

The sauna is safe for most home settings. Place it on a stable, moisture-resistant surface and keep both the sauna and the generator away from heat and water sources.

We recommend sessions lasting between 20-60 minutes, based on your comfort and tolerance levels. It's important to listen to your body and exit the sauna if you experience discomfort.

Opt for a bathing suit, towel, or light sauna attire. Avoid heavy clothing.

Wipe with a damp, slightly soapy cloth post-use. Dry thoroughly. Regularly inspect for wear or damage.

Check connections and power source. If issues persist, contact customer support.
