Question 5

Do i need to add ice every time I use the bath?

Accepted Answer

No, all of our products have a cooling unit, we don’t want you to carry ice cubes! You just set your target temperature. However if you want to see ice forming, the Nihilistas Zero is your go, our ice bath which creates its own ice!

Question 6

What is the cold capacity of the AirTub and Nihilistas?

Accepted Answer

Both the AirTub and Nihilistas are designed to reach low temperatures, typically down to 3°C, making them highly effective for cold therapy. Nihilistas Zero can also reach into freezing waters as low as 0°C. They can maintain these temperatures for extended periods due to advanced insulation.

Question 7

How long does the ice bath stay cold?

Accepted Answer

With their advanced insulation systems, both the AirTub and Nihilistas can retain cold, as long as they remain plugged in power. This allows you to maintain your desired temperature indefinitely, ensuring the water stays consistently cold for as long as you need.

Question 8

Are the ice baths resistant to leaks or punctures?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both the AirTub and Nihilistas are designed with durable, puncture-resistant materials to prevent leaks and ensure longevity.

Question 9

Do the ice baths come with a drainage system for easy cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both models are equipped with drainage systems for easy water removal and cleaning.

Question 10

How quickly does the ice bath reach the desired temperature?

Accepted Answer

When first connected, the ice bath needs to cool the water from room temperature to the desired target set by the user. This process can take several hours, depending on environmental factors such as room temperature, whether it’s placed outdoors in the sun, etc. Once the desired temperature is reached, the ice bath will easily maintain that temperature as long as it remains powered on.

Question 11

Can I reuse the water in my ice bath?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can definitely reuse the water in your ice bath! If you're using just a sediment filter, the water may need to be changed after a few weeks, depending on usage, as algae could start to form. If your ice bath has either UV or Ozone disinfection, you can maintain crystal-clear water for several months, making the experience more convenient and enjoyable.

Question 12

Can the ice bath be used for both hot and cold therapy?

Accepted Answer

No, the AirTub and Nihilistas are specifically designed for cold therapy only and are not suitable for hot therapy. They are optimized to reach and maintain low temperatures for effective cold therapy sessions.

Question 13

Should I keep my IceHab powered on all the time or can I turn it off between uses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we recommend keeping your IceHab connected to power continuously to maintain the desired temperature with minimal effort from the cooling system. This approach is much more time and energy efficient than turning it on only when you need it, as it would take several hours to reach the target temperature each time. If you have a weekly ice bath routine, it's best to leave it powered on. However, if for example you use it only once a month, you could power it off between sessions and turn it back on when needed, with the understanding that it will take some time to cool the water again.
