help Ice Barrel FAQ

How much water and ice does the Ice Barrel hold?

The standard Ice Barrel has a 105-gallon capacity, though it is typically recommended to fill it with around 80 gallons of water. You will usually need to add about 40 to 60 pounds of ice to reach the optimal cold therapy temperature of 50°F or below.

Do I need to plug the Ice Barrel into a power source?

No, the Ice Barrel is a completely passive, non-electric cold water immersion tub, meaning there is no built-in chiller to regulate temperature. You must manually add ice to the water to lower the temperature before each session.

How do you drain the Ice Barrel?

The Ice Barrel comes equipped with a built-in drain plug located near the bottom of the unit. You can easily attach a standard garden hose to the plug to direct the wastewater away from your home or into a drain.

Can you install the Ice Barrel outside in the winter?

Yes, the Ice Barrel is constructed from highly durable, lightweight LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) plastic designed to withstand outdoor elements. However, if you live in a freezing climate, you must ensure the water does not freeze completely solid inside the barrel, as expanding ice could cause damage.
