Designed for both the ice bath enthusiast and the professional athlete, the LUMI Recovery PRO™ Ice Barrel, with it's spacious interior, maximises the benefits of cold water therapy.
Constructed with high-quality materials, it features a durable, thick rubber wall and air-gap insulation. To keep the water pristine and protected from external elements, when not in use, a specially designed thermal lid helps maintain a steady temperature and prevents contamination from rainwater, bugs, leaves, and other contaminants, ensuring a consistent, invigorating plunge every time.
The Recovery PRO™ Ice Barrel has also been meticulously designed for seamless integration with the LUMI Thermo CT2™ chiller unit, a state-of-the-art system ensuring pristine chilled water quality through its High-Density particle water filter and internal Ozone water treatment unit.
Dive into a pristine, refreshingly chilled environment with the LUMI Recovery PRO™ Ice Barrel, the ideal solution for your recovery and rejuvenation needs. Its design and functionality set a new standard in cold therapy, offering both enthusiasts and professionals a tool for enhanced physical well-being.
The Recovery PRO™ barrel can be inflated in less than 5 minutes, ensuring a hassle-free and swift setup process. Its unique air valves, located on both the body and lid, are engineered for effortless pump attachment and seamless deflation.
The body and lid feature a robust Rubber Wall and Air Gap Insulated Construction. This design ensures the external climate has minimal impact on the water's temperature inside, maintaining consistent conditions regardless of the weather outside.
The premium insulated lid serves as a thermal barrier from the elements, effectively separating the water from external conditions to maintain a stable water temperature.
The Recovery PRO™ barrel is engineered to seamlessly work with our LUMI chiller units*, keeping the water impeccably clear and consistently chilled to a crisp 3°C (37°F), ensuring an icy and stable water temperature.
The Thermo CT2™ chiller unit can be connected to your WiFi and controlled by the Tuya Smart & Smart Life mobile apps.
Please see the user manual on how to connect the Thermo CT2™, and how to control the unit.
Please note: Both mobile apps are 3rd party apps, and LUMI accepts no responsibility for incompatibility or issues when using this with your LUMI Thermo CT2™ unit.
Yes, it does!
The Recovery PRO Barrel includes an inflatable Thermo Lid.
Yes, its fine to add Epsom Salt to your ice bath, there are some really good reasons why you would want to!
Espom salts are safe to use, and may have health benefits by supplementing your magnesium levels, but chloride salts (e.g., table salt, road salt) are not safe to use.
Always keep the lid on when not in use, to help prevent any debris falling in!
We recommend changing the water once per week without any additives.
When you drain the water from your ice bath, to extend the life of your next fill, we recommend washing the inside surfaces with warm soapy water.
Yes you can!
If you'd like the water to last longer, using Bromine tablets or powder should extend the usable time up to 1 month.
Bromine is more skin-friendly and lasts longer than Chlorine in cold water and you'll need very little to be effective.
We've designed our bath to fit all sizes up to 2.1m tall (6' 7"), whilst minimising water and cooling requirements.
Super easy! Simply use a hose-pipe, a bucket or container, and add room temperature water. Once filled to approximately 70% full, you'll be ready for your first dip!
Later, we recommend adding ice or ice packs to reduce the temperature further. Our ice baths are insulated top, bottom and sides, so will maintain the water temperature for longer than you'd expect!
Both the body of the PRO barrel, and lid are insulated, all of which helps to keep the outside weather from affecting the internal water temperature.
We recommend deploying your PRO barrel outside, under shade, to maximise the passive overnight cooling effect, and then adding ice or ice blocks as needed.
ALWAYS consult your doctor before using an ice bath if you have any health issues!
DO NOT USE if you are: - pregnant, have heart disease or high blood pressure, have diabetes, complications such as neuropathy or retinal damage, you wear a pacemaker, history of frostbite, have an open wound, had recent surgery, epilepsy or any other health concerns or risks.
Using an ice bath can dramatically decreases your body core temperature. The immersion in cold water constricts blood vessels and slows the flow of blood around the body, which combined with health complications, can cause your blood pressure to rise and give you a higher chance of cardiac arrest or stroke.
Side effects
The most noticeable side effect of an ice bath is feeling intense cold, but other side effects of staying in an ice bath for too long are: - hypothermia, frostbite, tachycardia (fast heart beat), arrhythmias (abnormal heart beat), allergic and anaphylactic shock.
Our recommendation
Despite the potential side effects and warnings, using an ice bath correctly actually has many health benefits! We will always recommend you begin by spending no more than a few minutes in the ice bath, and slowly working you way up to the recommended time, never push your body beyond its limits.
