When talking about cold water immersion, different terms are often used to indicate the same type of product. It is a structure designed to keep water at low, controlled temperatures, between 0 and +12°C.
The term cold tub is the most widespread generic name used in both residential and professional settings to identify this category. The expression reaction tub, on the other hand, belongs to medical-sports and hydrotherapy terminology, as it refers to the vascular and physiological reaction of the body upon contact with cold. In the world of fitness and athletic training, the English term cold plunge has become the established name.
A cold plunge tub operates through fully automated management of water temperature and quality. The heart of the system is an integrated smart cooling unit that lowers the temperature quickly and keeps it constant thanks to an adjustable electronic thermostat. This mechanism removes impurities without the need for harsh chemical agents and reduces the need for frequent water changes. In addition, the tub is equipped with rapid fill and drain systems and is designed for immediate start-up and effectiveness from the very first moment of activation. Thanks to a smart cooling system, the tub reaches the desired temperature in a short time with reduced energy consumption.
Regular use of the cold plunge tub generates a controlled thermal shock that positively stimulates the body on multiple levels:
