HomePlunge is a device that converts a bathtub into a cold plunge by circulating and chilling the water, eliminating the need for ice. It works by using a pump to pull water from the tub through a hose, chill it to a set temperature, and then return it to the tub, creating a cold water therapy system that can be controlled via an app. It’s designed to be a space-saving and convenient alternative to traditional ice baths or dedicated cold plunge tubs.
HomePlunge is the first of its kind as a bathtub chiller for cold therapy. It was created to solve the challenges of price and space that come with the traditional form factor of an outdoor water tank with a plumbed in chiller. The leading brands start around $7,000 and go up to $25,000 while HomePlunge is $3,000. The other products also require monthly fees to chemically treat the continued use of water to keep clean, similar to a pool. HomePlunge eliminates monthly fees and gives back your time required for maintenance by simply draining the tub water when needed and refilling. If you have a spare bathtub, the user experience for cold plunging with HomePlunge is second to none.
