where can my Ice bath go?
-
Our Chiller Units are IPX4 rated, which means they're protected against splashing water from any direction. This makes them well suited to both indoor and outdoor use, while still being sensible about ongoing exposure to the weather.
The IPX4 water rating means your chiller can handle splashes and everyday moisture from any direction, but it isn't designed to sit fully exposed to the elements indefinitely. If your chiller will be positioned outdoors in direct weather, we recommend our optional protective chiller box for extra peace of mind, especially over Perth's wetter winter months.
What IPX4 protection means for you:
Protected against splashing water from any direction, which covers typical outdoor exposure and everyday Perth conditions.
If your chiller sits in direct weather with no cover, eave, or shelter, we recommend the optional protective chiller box to keep it protected long term.
Keep the plug and connection point dry, and avoid running the chiller through a damaged or coiled extension lead.
If you have any questions about the best position for your chiller at your specific location, get in touch with our team and we're happy to help.

To ensure your ice bath installation adheres to these regulations, we strongly recommend contacting your local council. Each state and territory in Australia has specific requirements regarding pool fencing, and local councils can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information. They can guide you on the necessary fencing height, gate requirements, and other safety measures specific to your area.
By consulting your local council, you can ensure that your ice bath is safe, legal, and compliant with all relevant legislation, providing peace of mind and protecting the well-being of all users.

Set up of these takes approximately 15 minutes and you can take your plunge anywhere with you.
Step 1: Inflate and Prepare the Tub
Inflate the tub using the pump provided.
Wipe it clean to ensure it's free from dirt and debris.
Ensure there is adequate space to fit the hoses without any obstructions from walls or other objects.
Step 2: Connect Hoses and Filter
Connect the hoses and the external filter to both the chiller and the tub. Green to Green and Red to Red.
External filter connects to the chiller inlet.
Ensure all connections are tight to avoid leaks.
Step 3: Fill the Tub
Fill the tub with water. Given the water quality in Perth, using filtered water is suggested.
Any water filtration system, such as a portable caravan filter, can be used, but it is not necessary.
Once the water level is above the outlet hose, you can turn the chiller on.
Fill the tub to below
the “max” depth to avoid over flow.
Step 4: Turn on the Chiller
Step 5: Set Up the Smart App
Use the instructions provided to connect to the Tuya smart app.
Set your preferences for turning on/off and adjusting the temperature.
If you are new to cold water immersion, it is recommended to start with a temperature below 15 degrees Celsius, but to avoid shock far from the 2 degree minimum.
Step 6: Chill and Enjoy
Wait for the water to reach your desired temperature.
Enjoy your cold plunge!

For our more permanent options, we suggest finding a suitable and solid surface such as concrete, pavers or compacted gravel. This will avoid damage to your tub, surrounding area and also ensure stability over the long term.
