AQUAMAXX ICE-013

Sports and performance facilities are the most common setting for dedicated chilled immersion equipment, typically installed alongside warm water provision that the organisation already operates. A single-function tub suits that pattern, since the cooling plant is not being asked to serve competing demand. Medigear.uk supplies the ICE-013 as equipment and makes no claim about physiological outcomes from cold water immersion; where a facility offers it within a wider programme, the protocols, screening and supervision arrangements remain that organisation's responsibility, informed by appropriately qualified advice.

Recovery studios and commercial gyms judge equipment of this type on throughput rather than headline temperature. How quickly the tub returns to its set point between users determines how many people can be scheduled, and that depends on chiller capacity relative to water volume rather than on the minimum figure quoted in isolation. Medigear.uk obtains cool-down time, recovery rate, and the conditions under which each was measured before quotation, rather than after installation.

Facilities operating in supervised or regulated settings should treat manufacturer operating limits as documentation to be obtained rather than detail to be assumed. The minimum safe temperature, maximum immersion duration, contraindications, and any supervision requirements are requested from the factory and supplied intact. Where a manufacturer declines to commit those limits to writing, that absence is itself material to a procurement decision and Medigear.uk reports it plainly.

Private and residential installations account for a growing share of enquiries. Medigear.uk supports individual buyers through site assessment, ventilation clearance, electrical and floor-loading requirements, and installation documentation, and recommends that anyone considering cold water immersion seek advice from a qualified medical practitioner beforehand, particularly where a cardiovascular or respiratory condition exists.

Cooling Plant Dedicated to One Tub

Where a chiller serves a single body of water, its stated capacity translates directly into performance for that tub. Nothing else is drawing on the same refrigeration circuit, so recovery between users is not competing with demand elsewhere in the unit. For a facility judging equipment on throughput, that relationship matters more than the headline temperature. Medigear.uk confirms chiller capacity against water volume before order.

Single-Function Simplicity

A unit built for one purpose carries fewer plant items, fewer control modes and fewer things to service. Commissioning is correspondingly simpler, and fault-finding is narrower when something does go wrong. For an operator adding chilled provision to an existing facility rather than building one from scratch, that simplicity has real operational value. Medigear.uk confirms the plant list in writing at quotation.

Suits Facilities That Already Have Warm Provision

Many organisations considering chilled immersion already operate heated water and need only the cold side. Buying a combined unit in that situation means paying for capabilities that duplicate those already installed. A dedicated tub fits the actual gap. Medigear.uk can discuss which configuration matches an existing facility before order.

Recovery Rate Treated as the Operative Specification

Minimum temperature is the figure most readily quoted, but it describes what the tub can eventually reach rather than how it performs across a session. Recovery time between users is what governs scheduling. Medigear.uk asks for both figures together with their measurement conditions, so a buyer can plan capacity rather than infer it.

Ventilation Requirement Established Before Siting

A refrigeration plant rejects heat to its surroundings and will underperform in an enclosed alcove or when hard against a wall. This is a siting constraint heated equipment does not impose, and it is routinely missed when planning from footprint alone. Medigear.uk obtains the manufacturer's ventilation clearance and operating noise figures in writing before installation is planned.

Provenance Established Before Quotation

This model does not appear in the AQUAMAXX catalogue or installation records, and its designation breaks from that range's naming convention. Company credentials applying elsewhere in the range cannot be assumed to carry across. Medigear.uk first establishes which manufacturer supplies the unit and what certification it holds. Buyers therefore know exactly whose product and whose warranty they are buying.

Equipment Described, Outcomes Not Promised

Cold water immersion is marketed across this category with extensive claims about recovery, inflammation, immunity and metabolism. Medigear.uk describes what the equipment is and does, supplies the manufacturer's documentation in full, and makes no claim about physiological results. For professional and institutional buyers who must justify a purchase internally, verifiable specifications carry more weight than unsupported benefit claims.

Safety Limits Obtained as Documentation

Minimum safe temperature, maximum immersion duration, contraindications and supervision requirements are requested from the manufacturer as written documentation and passed to the buyer intact rather than summarised. A retailer restating clinical cautions is not a reliable source for them. Where the manufacturer will not provide them, Medigear.uk says so.

Single-Tub Configuration

Product imagery shows one chilled tub rather than a multi-vessel arrangement. This is the model's defining configuration and determines both the plant list and the siting requirement. Medigear.uk confirms the configuration with the factory before order.

Overall Dimensions and Footprint

External dimensions determine whether the unit fits the intended space and whether it can reach that position along the delivery route. No dimensional figures are published for this model. Medigear.uk obtains them in writing before quotation.

Water Capacity

Water volume governs cooling demand, recovery rate, and filled weight together, making it the single most useful figure for planning. It is not published for this model. The confirmed capacity is obtained from the factory.

Occupancy

Whether the tub is specified for one user or more affects both scheduling and the cooling load imposed per session. Product imagery suggests a single reclined position. The manufacturer's stated occupancy is confirmed before order.

Contoured Interior with Integral Headrest

Product imagery shows a contoured interior with an integral headrest supporting a reclined position. Interior shaping affects both comfort during immersion and the required water volume. Medigear.uk confirms the internal profile with the factory.

Chiller Capacity

Chiller capacity is the most consequential specification for any chilled unit, governing both minimum temperature and recovery rate. It is not published for this model. Medigear.uk requests the rating alongside the water volume it serves.

Minimum Water Temperature: The achievable minimum temperature depends on chiller capacity,i nsulation, and ambient conditions. A figure quoted without those conditions has limited planning value. Medigear.uk obtains the manufacturer's stated minimum with its measurement conditions.

Cool-Down and Recovery Time

Time to reach temperature from ambient, and recovery time between users, determine throughput in any commercial setting. Neither figure is published. Both are requested in writing at quotation stage.

Compressor Ventilation and Operating Noise

The refrigeration plant requires clearance to reject heat and produces audible output during operation. Both affect where the unit can practically sit, particularly indoors. Medigear.uk obtains the manufacturer's ventilation requirements and noise figures before installation planning.

Circulation, Filtration and Sanitation

Water held near freezing behaves differently from heated water, and treatment designed for spa temperatures may not perform equivalently when chilled. Pump sizing, filtration type and sanitation method are each confirmed in writing so the maintenance routine can be assessed.

Shell Material and Supporting Structure

Shell material and frame determine the service life of the component that holds treated water continuously, with thermal cycling being an additional consideration for chilled equipment. Material specifications are not published for this model and are verified before supply.

Insulation Specification

On a chilled unit, insulation works against heat gain rather than heat loss, and insulation quality directly affects running cost by determining how hard the compressor must work. Specification is obtained from the factory in writing.

Control System

The control system type governs how temperature is set and held, as well as whether session timing is supported. Spare parts availability throughout the equipment's life also follows from the control system's provenance. Both are confirmed before quotation.

Total Electrical Load and Supply

On chilled units, the compressor is frequently the largest single load so that the supply requirement may exceed that of a standard domestic circuit, even for a single tub. This is the parameter most likely to affect installation cost. Medigear.uk establishes the confirmed figure before quotation.

Filled Weight and Floor Loading

Filled weight determines the structural assessment for any deck, terrace, or suspended floor, and it matters as much on a compact tub as on a large one because the load is concentrated. Medigear.uk confirms the figure in writing before order.

Safety Documentation and Operating Limits

Manufacturer-stated minimum safe temperature, maximum immersion duration, contraindications and any supervision requirement are requested as written documentation. Medigear.uk supplies these intact rather than summarised and plainly reports where a manufacturer declines to provide them.

Model Provenance and Certification

The ICE-013 does not appear in the AQUAMAXX catalogue or installation records, so the manufacturer and applicable certification are established before anything else. Company credentials from elsewhere in that range cannot be assumed to apply. Medigear.uk confirms both in writing at the enquiry stage.

The ICE-013 Cold Plunge Tub provides dedicated chilled immersion in a single-function unit, with a cooling plant sized for one body of water rather than shared across a multi-temperature installation, suiting sports and performance facilities, recovery studios, and commercial gyms that already operate warm-water provision, and private installations alike. Because no parameter table is published and the model does not appear in the AQUAMAXX catalogue or installation records, this page serves as an enquiry route rather than a datasheet: manufacturer provenance and certification, dimensions, water capacity, chiller capacity and recovery rate, ventilation clearance, filtration and sanitation, filled weight and total electrical load are all obtained from the factory in writing. Medigear.uk supplies this unit as equipment, passes on the manufacturer's safety documentation and operating limits intact, and makes no claim about physiological outcomes from cold water immersion.
