Here is a detailed comparison of water disinfection systems for our ice baths. Whether you're using an ice bath for recovery, therapy, or performance enhancement, maintaining clean and safe water is essential. Here, you’ll find an in-depth look at UV (Ultraviolet Radiation), Ozone (O₃), and the combination of both, helping you choose the best system for eliminating bacteria, viruses, organic contaminants (like sweat and oils), and unpleasant odors. Our goal is to ensure your ice bath remains hygienic, refreshing, and irritation-free, so you can focus on recovery without worrying about water quality.
