Cold Plunge VEVOR

VEVOR Ice Bath Tub, 90 Gal Inflatable Folding Bathtub with Cover

An upright folding tub with an insulated lid, sized to pair with a small chiller.

Best for a basement or garage cold plungepairing with a small retrofit chillerspaces that sometimes need the floor back

A basement tub has two jobs: hold the cold and stay out of the way. This VEVOR is an upright barrel 31.5 in (80 cm) across and 29.5 in (75 cm) high with a listed capacity of 90 gal (341 L). It stands on support tubes with an inflatable ring around the top, and the listing describes a foam layer in both the wall and the lid. When the floor is needed for something else, it drains through a side pipe or a bottom plug and folds into its carry bag.

What the listing does not describe is a pair of ports for a chiller, so a chiller’s hoses go over the rim and the lid sits on top of them. There is no filter either. Mind the weight when you choose the spot: a full tub is about 750 lb (341 kg) of water before anyone gets in.

Tip: Sweep the floor before you unfold it and fill it only about two-thirds – your body takes up the rest, and grit under a full tub is how punctures start.

✓Two ways to empty it – a bottom drain and a side drain pipe
✓Folds into a nylon carry bag
✓Water-filled seat cushion and repair patches included

Keep in mind

!No chiller ports are described – hoses have to run over the rim, and the lid then rests on them
!No filter, so the water needs regular changing
!The maker says this size suits medium and smaller frames best
!The inflatable top ring is a headrest, not a handhold, and the 29.5 in (75 cm) wall is a real climb
