-
Ozone or UV filtration: Keeps water clean and safe between users
-
High-capacity design: Suitable for multiple users or larger body types
-
Digital controls: Allow staff to monitor and adjust temperature precisely

Installation Tips for Commercial Environments
-
Electrical: Most commercial chillers require a dedicated 110V or 220V GFCI outlet. Confirm power requirements before installation.
-
Drainage: Ensure proper drainage near the unit for water changes or overflow. A floor drain or gravity drain system is ideal.
-
Ventilation: For indoor units, allow airflow around the chiller to prevent overheating.
-
Accessibility: Make sure the area allows safe step-in and exit, with a non-slip surface and grab rails if needed.
Filtration Systems: Why They Matter in Commercial Use
With frequent use and multiple users per day, water quality can degrade quickly. That’s why every commercial cold plunge should include:
-
Ozone or UV sanitation: Reduces bacteria and organic buildup without harsh chemicals
-
Multi-stage filtration: Captures hair, oils, and debris to keep water clear and odor-free
-
Daily auto-clean cycles (optional): For hands-off maintenance in high-use settings
Cold Plunge as a Revenue Generator
For spas and boutique gyms, a cold plunge isn’t just a wellness feature—it’s a premium upsell. Many wellness centers now offer contrast therapy sessions (cold plunge + sauna) as a package or membership tier.
Consider pairing a plunge with one of our DIY Sauna Kits or ready-made saunas to build out a full thermal therapy experience in your facility.
