General Cold Tub FAQs
How does cold water therapy work?
Cold water therapy, also known as cold plunging or cold immersion, involves immersing the body in cold water for a short period of time. This process can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote overall wellness.
What are the benefits of using a cold tub?
Regular use of a cold tub can help reduce muscle soreness, speed up recovery after workouts, boost
circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve overall mental clarity and focus
Are cold plunge safe for everyone?
Cold plunge can provide numerous benefits, but they are not necessarily safe for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, such as heart issues, high blood pressure, or circulation problems, should consult with a healthcare professional before using a cold plunge. The sudden drop in temperature can stress the cardiovascular system, which might be dangerous for individuals with underlying health concerns.
Pregnant women, individuals with diabetes, or those who have recently undergone surgery should also get medical clearance before using cold therapy. In general, it's always a good idea to ease into a cold tub starting with shorter sessions at moderate temperatures and paying attention to your body's response
How long should l stay in the cold tub?
It's recommended to have cold plunge 11 minutes per week. Starting with shorter sessions, around 1-3 minutes, and gradually work your way up to 3-5 minutes, depending on your tolerance and comfort level. If you feel your body start to shiver, you must exit the water immediately!
What is the ideal water temperature for cold water therapy?
The ideal temperature range for cold water therapy is typically between 36'F and 59'F. This range provides the most benefits while still being manageable for most users... The goal is to get your body to a shiver state within the desired timeframe, so adjust your temperature accordingly!
How often should l use the cold tub?
Frequency can vary based on your goals and recovery needs, but many people use their cold tub 3-5 times per week. For athletes or individuals are looking for faster recovery, daily use is also recommended... or even
multiple times a day!

model's product page, including size and dimensions.
What does the maintenance typically consist of?
Any cold tub on the market requires ongoing maintenance.
We have designed the SISUKKA tubs to be as easy to maintain as possible. On average, you should expect to spend about 10 minutes/month to properly maintain your tub.
Maintenance typically consists of:
-Filter Maintenance: Our micron filtration system catches contaminants down to 20 micron (smaller than the human eye can see). Over time, these contaminants will jam the filter up, if the water flow drop below 15L/min, it's time to change the filter.
-Chiller Maintenance: We recommend cleaning the chiller screens and vents on a monthly basis.
-Water changes: On average, our Residential customers change their water every 6 months or so. This varies based on how you use your tub.
Can l place a SISUKKA tub inside or outdoors?
All of our tubs can be placed indoors or outdoors. lf placed outdoors, we require the tub be placed somewhere that is not subject to flooding, as this could damage the components.
If placing the tub indoors in a basement or 2nd floor, remember that the tubs are quite heavy and may require a professional mover.

We have desianed all of our tubs to drain in a matter of minutes. All of our tubs come with a plumbedhose-bib, so you can attach a garden hose and drain the tub to wherever you would like.
In residential settings, we typically recommend to drain the water at least every 6 months, however, thismay be more frequent depending on how you use your tub.
In commercial settings or high usage environments, you wil need to drain your tub much morefrequently, depending on use.
To extend the time between water changes, we recommend rinsing off prior to entering the cold tub.Contaminants such as dirty, sweat, oil, lotions, etc will quickly contaminant the water and dirty the filter,which will require more frequent maintenance.

We have designed all of our tubs to be very energy efficient. We utilize the highest quality foam insulation and all tubs include a well insulated cover, Please check the specs on our product pages for exact power consumption, but on average, you should expect about $0.60-$0.80/day worth of power consumption.
How fast does the water cool?
Typically 2 hours from room temperature to lowest temperature. For extreme weather, it will take longer.
