Dreampod Inflatable Cold Plunge Barrel FLEX with Chiller

Plunging 2-4 times a week for a few minutes per session can be enough to experience benefits. We recommend starting slowly and to build your tolerance over time. Check out our blog for science-based, detailed protocols.

A general guideline is to start with 1-2 minutes per session and then slowly increase as tolerance improves. It’s important to listen to your body—if you feel excessively uncomfortable, it’s time to get out. Check out our blog for science-based, detailed protocols.

This varies depending on personal preference, but most users find temperatures between 37°F and 55°F to be effective. Start warmer and adjust to find the right temperature for you.

Yes, most cold plunges can be used both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor setups, it's best to keep the unit covered, out of direct sunlight, and avoid exposure to freezing temperatures. Indoor installations should be on waterproof flooring with proper drainage and ventilation. Provide at least 36” of ventilation space when using a chiller and avoid enclosed areas

Ensure the drain is closed and all plugs or hoses are secure. Use a garden hose to fill the tub to 2/3–3/4 full, or until the water inlet is submerged if using a chiller. Avoid overfilling to prevent overflow.

Use the included quick-connect hoses to attach the “INLET” on the chiller to the “OUT” on the tub, and vice versa. No external plumbing is required. Ensure fittings are tight and that all gaskets are properly seated.

Yes, but longer hoses may reduce cooling efficiency and increase condensation. Keep runs as short as possible and manage moisture buildup as needed. Always use insulated hoses if extending the distance.

Place the chiller on a flat, level surface with at least 36 inches of clearance behind it for ventilation. If the chiller was tipped during delivery or moved, let it stand upright for 20 minutes before powering on to avoid internal damage. Keep it level with the plunge tub for proper water flow and never install it in enclosed or unventilated spaces.

The chiller runs on a standard 120V / 15AMP outlet. The manufacturer recommends using a GFCI-protected outlet on a dedicated circuit, especially for outdoor or wet-area installations. When in doubt, consult a licensed electrician to ensure safety and code compliance.

With proper maintenance, water can last up to a month. For home use, we recommend monthly water changes; for commercial or high-traffic use, change sooner if the water becomes cloudy or imbalanced.

The tub has a gravity drain. Open the cap or floor valve to release the water. You can also attach a garden hose to direct the water to a suitable drainage area. Be sure to fully drain the tub before cleaning or storing.

Clean the interior with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes, which may damage the inflatable surface. Gently clean the inlet and outlet ports to prevent buildup.

Yes. For home use, the manufacturer recommends using bromine tablets in a floater. For commercial use, apply 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide daily and test each morning to maintain levels between 50–100 ppm. Always test and balance pH (ideal range: 7.2–7.6) and follow all safety guidelines for chemical use.

For home use, replace the filter once per month. In commercial or outdoor setups, replace it twice per month. Always clean the hairscreen when replacing the filter to maintain strong flow.
