Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take long to set up?

The pod can be set up in as little as 5 minutes, with easy to follow steps provided in your user manual, or following the instructions below.

Do I need to add Ice?

No! you don't need to waste money adding ice to your pod. Studies have shown that water below 15 degrees Celsius (tap water temperature) elicits similar results. Just stay in for a little longer!

What is the best time to use it?

You should use the pod in the morning to boost your dopamine throughout the day, or following an endurance bout where it helps reduce inflammation.

You should avoid using the pod in the evening, as it spikes your adrenaline, keeping you awake. Additionally, avoid using the pod right after strength training as it can limit muscle hypertrophy.

How often should I use it?

Exposing yourself to cold water therapy (CWT) for an accumulative 12 minutes per week has been shown to elicit significant mental health benefits

For performance, 10-20 minutes of CWT following an exercise bout is optimal for recovery.

How often should I replace the water?

This depends on how frequently you use your pod and if you use any water treatments; however, we recommend that you replace the water at least weekly.

Do I need to clean my pod?

Yes, your pod will need regular maintenance. We recommend periodically cleaning the pod to keep it hygienic.

You can treat your water with cleansers such as chlorine or bromine (ensure an appropriate amount is added for safe usage) to keep your water clean for longer. Additionally, make sure replace the waterproof cover in between use to prevent any unwanted dirt or debris gathering in the pod.
