2 Person Ice Baths

Choosing a 2-person model is often about more than just space; it is about shared wellbeing. These tubs allow for "partner plunge" sessions, which can increase motivation and mental resilience through shared accountability. Beyond the social aspect, 2-person baths offer a much larger water volume (typically 350 to 600 litres), providing a more stable thermal mass that holds its cold temperature for longer, even with the added body heat of two adults.

While solo pods are compact, a 2-person bath requires a more substantial footprint. Most dual-occupancy tubs measure approximately 150cm to 210cm in length. You must ensure you have a flat, reinforced surface (such as a concrete pad or heavy-duty decking) that can support the filled weight, which can reach 500kg to 750kg when two adults are submerged.

Water displacement is a critical consideration for 2-person setups. To avoid overflowing the tub, you should typically only fill it to 50–60% capacity before entry. The combined volume of two adults will raise the water level to the brim. Most premium 2-person tubs include high-level overflow valves to manage this safely, ensuring you can achieve full-body immersion up to the neck without wasting water.

Yes. Because there is a higher "bather load" and more body heat being introduced into the water, a 2-person bath ideally requires a more robust chiller unit—typically 0.5 HP to 1 HP. A more powerful chiller ensures the water temperature returns to its target (e.g., 3°C) rapidly after a session, which is essential if multiple people are using the tub in quick succession.

Hygiene is paramount when two people are using the same water.

• Filtration: Ensure your tub uses a high-flow filtration pump (at least 1,200 L/h) to remove physical debris.
• Sanitisation: We recommend using a secondary sanitiser like Ozone or UV-C light, which are often integrated into 2-person chiller systems to kill bacteria and viruses without needing excessive chemicals.
• Pre-Plunge Habits: Both users should rinse off in a shower before entering to remove skin oils and lotions, which are the primary causes of cloudy water.

Absolutely. Many individual users choose a 2-person bath because it allows for a "fully reclined" horizontal plunge, similar to a traditional bathtub, rather than the upright seated position of a solo pod. This allows for a more relaxed experience and ensures every part of the body is evenly exposed to the cold water.

Draining 400+ litres of water requires planning. Our 2-person tubs feature rapid-drain taps that are compatible with standard garden hoses. This allows you to direct the wastewater away from your patio or building foundations towards a suitable drain or a large area of lawn. Because the water is cold, it can often be used to water the garden, provided no harsh chemicals have been added.
