Garvee 186-Gallon Inflatable Ice Bath Tub, Cold Plunge Tub for Athletes with Insulated Lid Military-Grade PVC, Portable Cold Water Therapy Ice Pod for Home Gym Recovery, Black

I did something I normally would not do and purchased this Ice Bath Tub without any reviews and I am glad I did. I was recently introduced to cold plunging and purchased a starter kit and chiller. The ice bath the kit came with was 29" x 29". I barely fit as a 5'11" male at 240 lbs. I did a ton of research on the ice baths and was settled on the inflatable versions to put in my garage. During my research I kept coming back to this one. So I took a chance and ordered it. It arrived several days early. It was easy to inflate and it was much bigger than I hoped. The inflatable walls insulate much better. The chiller works less and keeps a cooler temperature. The 1/2 inch chiller connections were solid with no leaks. The inflatable lid makes a big difference as well. It is very sturdy. At my weight, I'm pretty sure I could sit on it without issues. The only downside I could see with it is the air pump. It comes with an air pressure gauge, but it did not work. So I had to estimate the recommended 8 to 10 psi. It is tall. I used a small step stool to get into the ice bath. And I fit pretty comfortably once inside, nevermind the water temp. All said and done, I am very happy with this purchase. Attached is a size comparison from a 29.5 inch ice bath to the GARVEE 36 inch ice bath.

This inflatable cold plunge tub has been an excellent addition to our recovery routine. Its generous 186-gallon capacity comfortably accommodates full-body immersion, and the insulated lid helps maintain the desired temperature for extended periods. The tub's compatibility with water chillers enhances its versatility, making it suitable for various recovery needs.

Ice baths are getting more popular for at home recovery. This is a tub that needs to be inflated. It holds a lot of water and you are going to bend your knees to get your body fully in the water. It a bit more roomy so you are not completely cramped up inside. The extra room gives you a bit more comfort. The tub comes with a lid so you do not have to keep taking it apart and you can store it somewhere if you have the space. The installation in the tub and lid is really good. It will keep the temperature chilled or hot depending on what you want. The down side is that you are going to have to deflate it every time if you do not have space to store it. and the good part is that you can buy a pump to keep the water clean and put the lid on it. The price is a little expensive, but the quality is good and it comes with a storing bag.

Great size and easy enough to inflate. The lid straps on well and easy to tighten. My only complaint is that the pump supplied, the pressure gauge did not work. It would say the pressure was much lower then obviously was and you will get one very good work out trying to use this pump. We sang pump up the Jams while inflating this. As for deflating, the valve supplied just opens it up. I had to roll all over it pushing the air out while trying to hold it open with the valve and part of the tube from the pump coming out of it.
