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?
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).
