How much ice is needed if I buy at the store?
Consider the following:
- Size of the cold plunge
- Starting water temperature
- Desired water temperature
Assumptions based on the following*
- Starting water temperature of 70°F
- Desired water temperature of 55°F
- 70 gallon pod
How much ice to purchase:
- 16lb ice bag x 5 bags = 80lbs of ice
- $4.19 per ice bag x 5 bags = $21 per session
*Any variation in the assumptions will alter the volume and cost of ice needed.

Cold Plunge and the Benefits of Cold Therapy
Boost mood: Cold plunging triggers the release of endorphins, helping to improve your mood and reduce feelings of anxiety or depression.
Relieves stress: The shock of cold water activates the body’s stress-reducing mechanisms, helping you feel more relaxed and focused afterward.
Strengthens mental resilience: Regular exposure to cold temperatures trains your mind to stay calm and composed under pressure, boosting overall mental toughness.
Improves circulation: Cold water causes blood vessels to constrict, which improves blood flow and helps deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
Enhances recovery: By reducing muscle soreness and inflammation, cold plunging helps speed up recovery after intense workouts.
Reduces inflammation: Cold exposure constricts blood vessels, which helps decrease inflammation and swelling in the body.
Improves skin health: Cold water can tighten pores, promote blood flow to the skin, and enhance appearance by helping clear out toxins.
Better sleep at night: Cold plunging helps regulate body temperature, triggering a natural drop in core temperature, leading to better sleep.
