Questions people ask before buying this one
How cold does it get?
As cold as your tap water, about 8 to 15°C in a UK winter and warmer in summer, unless you add ice.
Do I need to buy ice?
Only if you want it colder than the tap. Chiller or ice?
Where can it go?
It holds 470 litres, so it weighs about 470 kg full, plus you. Put it on a patio, a garage floor or decking rated for the weight.
Is it safe?
If you have a heart or blood-pressure condition, or are pregnant, ask your GP before cold plunging. Never plunge alone, and keep the lid on around children.

No , so no running cost: you pay for ice, or use tap-cold water. We assume the chiller runs 3 hours a day once the water is cold (our estimate).
