A cold plunge in the garden is the trend in outdoor wellness. A refreshing ice bath is the perfect way to balance body and mind. The Gardentub is ideal as an outdoor plunge bath, stylish, durable, and designed for year-round use.
In this blog, we answer the most frequently asked questions about plunge baths, so you’ll know exactly what the benefits are, how to use them, and how to maintain your Gardentub.
What are the benefits of a plunge bath?
A plunge bath is more than just a refreshing dip; it has proven positive effects on your body and mental well-being. Cold water helps muscles recover after exercise. Regular use strengthens your immune system. Just a few minutes in cold water helps you relax and refocus. The temperature contrast activates your circulation and gives a natural boost of energy.
With the Gardentub, you can easily create your own spa experience at home, without having to visit a wellness center.
Who should avoid it?
A cold plunge is healthy for most people, but not for everyone. If you have heart or circulation problems, high blood pressure, or poor blood flow, it’s best to consult your doctor first. During pregnancy or when you have a cold, it’s also wise to be cautious. For healthy adults, short sessions are completely safe as long as you build up slowly and listen to your body.
How to start with cold plunging
Start gently. Fill your Gardentub with cold water between 10°C and 15°C and begin with one to two minutes per session. Breathe deeply, stay calm, and focus on your breathing. After a few sessions, you can build up to five minutes.
Two to five minutes is usually enough to experience the effects of cold therapy. Advanced users can extend this up to ten minutes. It’s important that your body adjusts gradually to the temperature. Once you start shivering or your breathing becomes irregular, it’s time to get out.
Make it a ritual, perhaps in the morning to start the day fresh or after a workout for recovery. Afterward, wrap yourself in a towel or bathrobe and enjoy a warm drink.
How often should you change the water?
If you use your Gardentub regularly, it’s recommended to refresh the water every four days. Especially when placed outside, sunlight, leaves, and skin particles can affect the water quality. By changing the water regularly, your outdoor plunge stays fresh, clean, and hygienic. Cover the Gardentub with the special Gardentub cover after each use to keep the water clean longer.
How to clean your Gardentub
The Gardentub is designed to last for many years. Thanks to its durable and weather-resistant material, maintenance is simple and requires little time. Empty the tub through the drain or with a garden hose, rinse with clean water, and clean the inside and outside with a soft sponge and a plastic cleaner such as Zep. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. The smooth polyethylene surface makes cleaning effortless and ensures the tub stays in top condition.
