• Wash the ice bath with water only before use. The insulated lid (air ring) should not be over-inflated to avoid inflation and damage.
• Do not use the ice bath if you are drunk, sleepy or have taken narcotics. This poses a danger to life.
• Also, do not use any electronic devices during this time.
• Do not fill with hot water over 50 degrees. The water level should not be more than 2/3.
• Not accessible to small children; applies to older people, children or people with special restrictions.
• Hot bathing can cause increased blood pressure, dizziness, vomiting, etc. in different body types.
• People suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure and other illnesses, as well as pregnant women, should consult a doctor before using the ice bath.
• Anyone who has difficulty entering the ice bath should seek assistance.
• Do not use sharp objects, as this may cause damage to the product.
• It is best to drain the water after use; you can also leave it in an ice bath, but in the long term you should change the water every now and then.

How long should I stay in the ice bath?

The recommended time varies depending on experience and body condition, but many experts recommend staying in the ice bath for between 5 and 15 minutes.

To start with, water should not be used below 10°C and for no more than 15 minutes. Generally the magic time is 15 minutes, research has shown that the beneficial properties diminish and diminish after 15 minutes.

How do I prepare the ice bath?

First of all, you should of course fill the ice bath with water (cold water). You should find out the ideal temperature for yourself; the more often you have done the ice bath, you can use even colder water. The body has to get used to it.
