Thanks for the video. Cheers
Thanks for watching and hope it helped 🙏🏻🥶 did it help you setup your ice bath or are you considering one?
@@OwenJackson just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing anything stupid when setting up. First dip wasn’t too bad for a quick 30s. Can’t wait to build up to few minutes.
Great video, just about to order mine 👍🏻
It’s been a good investment for easily accessible cold whilst being outside, rather than using my bath. And easier to get in than my recycling bin 😆 all the best with your cold journey 🙏🏻 💙
@@OwenJackson Great to hear! 30-40 day delivery time, looking forward to it with warmer weather 👍
Bring on cold dips and warm days 🙌🏻 💙 🌞 you’ll be in your element 😊 let me know when it lands 📦
This appears to just be an over sized inflatable paddling pool.
Where's the ice coming from?
Looks awesome man
It’s been a great at home solution. Is it something you’d be interested in utilising for a home setup? 🥶
@@OwenJackson I don't think so. I do have a bathtub, but I mostly just shower tbh. I'm not as into cold exposure as you are! At least not yet 😜
You’re on the path brother ✊🏻 keep doing your thing. Happy Easter 🐣
@@OwenJackson Happy easter to you as well!
Great video. Looking into these. My main concern is how long they keep the temperature down for ?
Hey Matt thanks for watching. regarding your concerns around temperature, a lot of the reported benefits of cold happen from 15°C and below so contrary to popular belief, the water doesn’t have to be frozen to gain benefits. It’s all exists on a spectrum obviously can depend on ambient temperature, and where about you are based in the world.
Additional ice can be added to bring the temperature down, but that obviously brings with it it’s own admin and preparation
If I can help any further, please let me know ✌🏻 happy dipping
use freezer blocks you can re-freeze again and again
and how long does it take to fill up the bath? if it is like now 15-22 degrees celsius in the air and you set off about 10 degrees celsius in the bath which I think is what I can maximum tolerate as a beginner, for how long would you estimate that the water keep about that temperature until is past the 15 degrees celsius, past the desired effect of 15 so the desired effect is not at work anymore? @@OwenJackson
A great option, I’ve also utilised this method. Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻🧊
I have a question what do you do with the ice after the ice bath
Sorry can you tell me how often you change the water and there are some advice to have te watwr always clean?
during winter months in the UK, between one and two weeks. Good etiquette like washing feet before getting in can certainly help postpone the need for regular water changes.
After watching your boots reviews I segwayed into the ice bath stuff .
I’m an ultra runner ( barefoot ) and have always started the day with a protocol of an early start , a cold shower and a ten mile + run to or cycle to work on an empty stomach .
I have always been aware of the importance and benefits of the cold shower aspect on the sort of hyperactive intensity of energy it gives me . Friends I know in the running scene own them but generally use them for recovery and to help inflammation post run and race .
What are your thoughts on the biggest benefits , is it the energy lift side or the recovery potential ? I appreciate both are a good thing but curious what you would say is the overarching benefit ?
Ordered one this week and it’s arrived and I will set it up over the weekend .
Absolutely, your routine sounds incredibly invigorating! The cold showers can truly offer a jolt of energy like no other, boosting that intensity you mentioned. While many use cold immersion primarily for recovery and inflammation post-exercise, the biggest benefit can vary based on personal drivers.
For me, it's that dopamine surge and heightened energy, the physical and mental resilience-almost a spiritual connection between mind and body. That journey led me into exploring breathwork and its incredible effects.
Traditionally, the recovery aspects are heavily documented, but your experience might evolve. What initially drove you may not be what keeps you going, and that's perfectly fine. It's all about discovering what works best for you. Enjoy setting up your new addition this weekend 🙏🥶
How often do you need to change the water? Do you put chlorine?
Personally I don’t use chlorine. I give the tub a good clean with non toxic chemicals during water changes. During winter I change the water about every 7-10days. Sometimes as many as 14 if it’s still clear. I’d advise more regularly in warmer weather. Where are you based? Do you have a tub or looking to purchase one?
Through the UK winter can it get too cold to use when left out?
In my experience the water hasn't become too cold. It did freeze over the first two weeks of December which was obviously challenging but perfect to build resilience. The pod has lasted well. It wasn't left out all winter, just utilised for periods of time when I needed good access to a cold source
what is the plug for at the bottom of the bath?
The drain pipe drains most of the water. Like 90%. Because the drain pipe is located in the side wall and slightly elevated, there’s still a small puddle of water in the bottom of the pod. So pop open the bottom plug and it will get the last bit out without having to tip up the pod all the way. Hope that make sense. Are you thinking of getting a pod?
Thanks for vid. Genuine question, but what is the benefit of this over just filling your bath with cold water and maybe shoving some ice in? Is the idea you leave it with cold water in for say weeks, and the insulation keeps it cool? How would that work in summer? Thanks
Good question Fionn, and you absolutely nailed it. It is definitely an option to utilise your bath for cold therapy. With or without the addition of ice. As a side note, the studies to do with cold exposure found benefits can be experienced from 15°C and below. So an easy and accessible way of doing it without necessarily needing ice.
Over the winter I was able to leave the tub outside in the UK and it maintained a decent level of chill without the need for additional ice. Changing the water every couple of weeks to keep it relatively fresh. Here is footage of my recycling bin, I used prior to the tubs. It demonstrates just how icy it can get in temperatures around zero and below th-cam.com/users/shortsnaed9TuE8l8?feature=share

Thanks for your curiosity and question. if I can help any further please let me know. More cold content to come 💙
Hi, I was just wondering if there was any mould built up from leaving the way in it and outside for a long period?
Stay on top of your water hygiene and try to be as clean as possible when getting in, and you should get a decent amount of time between refills and cleans 🧼
@@OwenJackson cool, what's your water routine changing duration?
A lot depends on the ambient temperature and what the water looks like Over winter I was able to go 10 days - 2 weeks between changes when the ice was freezing
If it doenst need to be plugged it, how long can it keep the water cool? In my country its very hot here, so will it still stay cool?
Can i also use ice and water for it?
Asking for a friend, thanks
Hey Faris 👋🏻 I guess it depends on numerous factors. How hot are we talking 🥵🌡️❓
keeping the tub in the shade I’m sure it will help. The tub is also insulated so will help, but you’ll need to add additional ice rather than just rely on the ambient temperature.
Purchasing bags of ice is one way to do it. I’ve also found by using reusable chiller blocks, that I keep in my freezer, it reduces the amount of ice needed 🧊
@@OwenJackson About 30-45 Celcius, will it be fine? i will try to put ice all the time
For sure you’ll need additional ice or chiller blocks for a colder temperature 🧊 let me know how you get on 👍
How do you let the air out to put it back down?
Hey Anna. This stumped me for a while. Check out the chapter / time stamp 1:32
Hope it helps and let me know if I can help further ✌🏻
Hi, what if you keep water in overnight and temperature drop below 0° Celsius? Is that a problem for the structure?
Mine survived last winter and being repeatedly frozen 🥶 no troubles and will continue to use it this year ✌🏻
@@OwenJackson thank you a lot, another thing after how much do you need to change water?
A lot depends on the ambient temperature. During close to freezing temperatures about 2 weeks
How do you get the water cold?
Hey Ricardo. There is no additional cooling unit. It is reliant on the ambient temperature and the insulation of the pod. You can add additional ice or chiller packs from the freezer to lower the temp.
The bath is making the water colder? I am living in a hot place there is no cold water only room temprature water
Hi 👋🏻 the bath is insulated so helps to maintain a temperature. But doesn’t provide additional cooling. For a hot climate I’d recommend adding additional ice 🧊
Is it well insulated? I want to get one but I don't want to refill everyday because it's going to be at least 40° outside in summer
My experience so far is late winter and early spring in the UK so nowhere near as warm as 40° 😅
I found it kept the water cold without the need for extra ice, however your experience may differ
Where abouts are you based? Maybe keeping the tub in the shade will help with regulating the temperature
How does it make the water ice cold?
Hi James. The pod just keeps the water cold, it doesn’t provide any additional cooling through making ice. If you require ice cold water, ice would need to be purchased separately or adding resizable freezer blocks from the freezer. Or leave it outside during freezing temperatures in winter.
The science suggests ‘cold exposure’ is from 15°C and below, so doesn’t have to be freezing to receive benefits. However, if you prefer a colder experience that’s fine, and means you don’t have to be in as long.
Hope that helps. Let me know if I can help further ✌🏻
@@OwenJackson Hey, have you measured the temperature of water? How long are you in tube?
how tf did ur bath ring inflate to a perfect circle? mine is like an octagon and wont let me pump any more air into it lol
😆⭕️ I was super keen too and pumped it up to MAXIMUM. If you let some out some air, it seems happier to form a circle. Also try unrolling all the holes Alaric so it has potential to expand. Let me know if that works 😃
Same thing with mine, I couldn't get it round so I tried to deflate it a little, that didn't work so I tried to pump it up to maximum and now the seams have torn and it just deflates after a few minutes. As annoying as it is, probably best to just leave it.

How do I fill up the bath with ice? Does the bath freeze it for me? I live in a tropical climate so no chance of it freezing here in my garden
@@microfarming8583 yeah, tropical climates are ideal for freezing your water,. Such wonders, as indoor ice baths, have yet to be invented by humankind. We live in hope 🤣
@mentalpot I don't want a freezer. I have now bought a superior system that freezes it for me. Enjoybyour basic blow up! 🤣
Where is the ice comes from ????
Thanks for the question. You can add ice by purchasing it, making your own, or using chiller packs which you can leave in the freezer and reused. Or leave the tub outside over winter to freeze itself 😃🧊
Have you noticed increase in performance and recovery after having the lumi bath?
The biggest impact has been the psychological and mental gains. Both from the direct exposure and the capacity to endure stress in other aspects of life. It’s funny how the body craves the cold once you’ve experienced it.
@@OwenJackson I’m interested in ice baths and wanted to see if it would help my recovery after training. Did you see any direct training benefits?
For cardiovascular focused workouts, cold may help or have no negative impact. For hypertrophy focus, wait at least an hour or two after workout.
Personally I corporate the cold as part of my Sunday rest-day protocol and leaves me feeling rejuvenated for the week ahead
@@OwenJacksonthat’s great thanks
What size is this? 😊
80cm diameter.
75cm height.
320 litre capacity.
3.5kg weight empty.
Is it something you’re considering purchasing? How are you embracing the power of the cold? 😊 🥶
Is this the regular one?
Yes I’m looking at purchasing for my husbands birthday. Is there a back log because I’ve seen a few people commenting to say they haven’t received it 🤔
hey @@clairemccormack6650 yes I believe there is a backlog at the moment, but I think some orders have been upgraded to the MAX. Depending on how tall your husband is, that may even be better. I'm around 5'9 and fit easily into the pod if that helps. The MAX holds people up to 6'7!
Does your husband currently enjoy cold dips or just getting into it? All the best and keep me updated with how you and he get on 🙏
Let me know if I can help further
@@OwenJackson he has cold showers every morning but it usually isn’t cold enough for him lol. His friend has a barrel and he goes there sometimes but he’s been moaning at me that he wants his own so I’m sure he’ll like it for his 30th which is the end of May so plenty time! Order places and gone for the regular 😊 he’s exactly 6ft so should be ok. I’ll see if I can convince myself to get into it 😂 thanks!!
You’ll do amazing. Focus on your breath going in. Extend the exhale 😮💨 I like to tuck my hands under my armpits. Or keep them out the water if you find it sensations too intense. You’ll do amazing 🙌🏻 let me know how you both get on
145k.15kg to be precise
⚖️ that is precise
How often do you need to change the water?
Great question. Depending on the outside temperature, about every 10 days / two weeks. When it’s colder during winter I find it needs less maintenance. As it gets warmer it will need more regular changes. I’ve chatted to some people who use a mild disinfectant or tablet cleaner. I’d always give it a wipe with a natural spray and a cloth between fill ups 💦 have you got a tub or just looking into the maintenance? ✌🏻
@@OwenJackson thanks, no, don't have one atm but looking in to it, I live on the coast, started using the sea but that makes it tide dependant and there's an ongoing issue with sewage discharges around here 🤢, this looks to be so much more convenient.
@@richardmarchant3213 which coast you near? I’d love to live by the sea, one day 🤙🏻 I’ve seen the outrageous sewage being washed into the sea. Disgusting. I can imagine your frustration
All the best with an accessible home solution. Previously I’ve used a wheelie bin, might give you an solution. video here:

@OwenJackson what natural spray would you use?
Mine is on the way, just prepping for ideas. Not into mad chemicals.
