Cold plunges by brand
Dundalk LeisureCraft handcrafts the Baltic, Polar and Flow cold plunges in Ontario from Canadian cedar. The Baltic can be bought bare and cooled with ice, or with a Coldture Water Chiller Pro or a Penguin Cold Therapy Chiller added; the Polar is sold with or without either chiller, and the Flow with or without a Penguin chiller for the compartment built into its shell.
Icetubs builds the upright IceBarrel and the reclining IceBath with a stainless steel tub inside Thermowood and the larger IceBarrel XL with a fiberglass tub inside Thermowood, and ships each with its own cooling engine.
SaunaLife builds the S1N and the S2NC with a contoured fiberglass lining and ships each with a separate combination chiller and heater.
Finnmark Designs sets the SoulCold's 304 stainless steel tub in a cabinet of Canadian cedar slats with the chiller built in, and Kohler makes the Kohler x Remedy Place Ice Bath, an 85-gallon tub with its temperature control, UV light and filtration built in. Dundalk LeisureCraft, Kohler and SaunaLife also make outdoor saunas, so a sauna and a cold plunge can come from the same maker.
Cold plunges compared: cooling, shape and price
The 10 cold plunges at Topture by cooling, shape and price. Sizes and temperatures are each maker's own figures (manuals, drawings and specification tables); prices are each tub's lowest current price, so the Dundalk tubs are shown without a chiller.

How much does a cold plunge cost?
A cold plunge at Topture costs from $2,554 for the Dundalk Baltic as a bare cedar tub you cool with ice, up to $17,425 for the Kohler x Remedy Place Ice Bath with its temperature control built in.
What a cold plunge price includes depends on how the tub is cooled. On the Dundalk Baltic, Polar and Flow the chiller is an option chosen on the product page, so the price rises when a Coldture or Penguin chiller is added. The Icetubs, SaunaLife, Finnmark and Kohler prices already include the chiller. The SaunaLife, Finnmark and Kohler tubs can also heat the water, while Icetubs' US manual lists heating as an option for its cooling engine.
Cold plunge chillers, power and water care
A cold plunge cooled only with ice needs no power and has no built-in filtration, so its water is kept clean by draining and refilling. A tub with a chiller holds the water at the temperature you set and circulates it through a filter between sessions.
On a cold plunge, only the chiller or the tub's built-in cooling unit needs power. The chillers offered with the Dundalk tubs and supplied with the SaunaLife S1N and S2NC and the Finnmark SoulCold are listed for a 110–120 V supply, and Kohler lists 120 V for its Ice Bath. For the Icetubs cooling engine, ask Topture's team for the supply it needs before you plan the outlet. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the chiller and your local code.
Water care on a cold plunge follows its chiller: the Icetubs, Finnmark and SaunaLife chillers add an ozone generator to their filters, the Kohler pairs a 30-micron filter with UV light, and the Coldture and Penguin chillers offered on the Dundalk tubs use replaceable filter cartridges. Icetubs, Finnmark and Kohler set both water-change and filter-change schedules in their manuals, as do the FDC-1A and AP-1 chiller manuals supplied with the SaunaLife S1N and S2NC, and Dundalk LeisureCraft sets both for the Baltic, Polar and Flow on its website.
Cold plunge delivery, placement and winter use
Cold plunges ship by freight and are delivered curbside by appointment. Moving the shipment from the curb to where the tub will stand is the buyer's job, and liftgate service is available on most shipments, so raise site-access questions before you order.
A filled cold plunge is heavy wherever it stands: Icetubs gives about 1,400 lb for a standard IceBath filled with water and one bather, and Bathing Brands, Finnmark's distributor, lists the SoulCold at 1,650 lb filled. The Icetubs, Finnmark and Kohler tubs are listed for indoor or outdoor use, and Kohler's Ice Bath can also be plumbed in indoors, with a water connection, a built-in bath filler and an optional floor drain. Dundalk LeisureCraft says its cold plunge tubs and chillers are designed for outdoor use, and SaunaLife describes the S1N and S2NC as outdoor tubs.
Below freezing, an outdoor cold plunge has limits for both the tub and its chiller. Dundalk LeisureCraft says to follow each chiller's own winter limits: it says to disconnect and drain the Penguin when the air is at or below freezing, and to drain the tub, chiller, hoses and filters completely if the plunge will not be operating as temperatures approach freezing. For the Coldture, ask Topture's team about winter use before you order. Icetubs says its cooling engine must not sit in air below 23°F while it runs, or below 34°F when it is switched off. SaunaLife says to drain the S1N or S2NC after use in freezing weather and leave the drain valve open, and the SoulCold manual and the FDC-1A and AP-1 chiller manuals supplied with the S1N and S2NC say to move the chiller indoors or to an insulated area.
