IB 900 – 1 Person Stainless Steel Ice Bath | Tub Only

Cold-water immersion creates an immediate sensory shift for both body and mind.

As cool water surrounds the body, it delivers an enveloping cooling experience while naturally drawing attention away from outside distractions. The result is a distinct moment to recover physically, regain mental clarity and reconnect with yourself.

When practised consistently, cold-water immersion can become a valuable part of a broader wellness routine.

01 · Post-Workout Recovery & Perceived Muscle Soreness

Cold-water immersion is widely used following demanding physical activity to support short-term recovery.

Research has found that post-exercise immersion can help reduce perceived muscle soreness and support a stronger sense of recovery during the hours and days following intense exercise.

This can be particularly valuable after running, cycling, field sports, endurance training, gym sessions or physically demanding days.

The experience creates a clear transition from physical effort into rest, helping you feel ready for what comes next.

02 · An Enveloping Cooling Experience

Water maintains close and continuous contact with the immersed areas of the body, creating a more complete cooling experience than cold air alone.

This makes immersion an effective way to ease the sensation of accumulated heat following exercise, outdoor activity or time spent in warm conditions.

Remaining in a stable and comfortable position allows the cooling sensation to surround the immersed areas evenly throughout the session.

03 · Alertness, Focus & Mental Reset

The initial sensation of cold naturally captures attention and brings awareness back to the body.

Research into short-term cold-water immersion has associated the experience with increased alertness, attentiveness and positive feelings immediately afterwards.

By creating a deliberate break from external distractions, a cold plunge can provide a powerful sense of clarity before returning to the rest of the day.

04 · Mental Resilience & Composure

Cold water creates a challenge that is immediate, deliberate and rewarding.

Entering the water, settling the breath and remaining present offers an opportunity to practise staying calm while the body adjusts to an intense but controlled experience.

Each completed session can reinforce confidence, self-discipline and the ability to remain composed outside the usual comfort zone.

Returning to the experience consistently can help develop a stronger sense of mental resilience that extends beyond the water.

05 · Consistency & Everyday Wellbeing

The greatest value of a wellness practice comes from making it part of everyday life.

Setting aside time for cold-water immersion creates a dedicated moment for personal wellbeing, separate from the pace and distractions of the day.

As the practice becomes familiar, it can develop into a meaningful ritual associated with consistency, personal progress and a stronger connection between body and mind.

Built Around the Freedom to Begin Your Way

IB 900 Tub Only begins with the same purpose-designed personal immersion Tub used in the Complete System.

It gives customers the freedom to begin with ice, connect an existing compatible Chiller or add a complete temperature-controlled system later.

That flexibility shaped every decision that followed.

01 · Why We Made the Tub Available Separately

Not every customer wants to begin in the same way.

Some already own a compatible Chiller. Some prefer the simplicity of using ice, while others want to select their cooling system separately or add one later.

Used with ice, IB 900 Tub Only provides a dedicated cold-water immersion experience. When paired with a compatible Chiller, it can add automatic cooling, circulation and filtration, with heating available on selected models.

The Tub itself requires no electrical connection, giving customers the freedom to begin with the setup that suits their space, routine and budget.

Flexibility was built into the Tub Only option from the beginning.

02 · Why the Circular Form Follows the Experience

A one-person immersion Tub should feel personal without feeling confined.

The circular form creates a balanced space around the body, allowing the water to surround the immersed areas naturally while keeping everything comfortably within reach.

An integrated seat positioned at 300 mm provides a stable place to settle into an upright position without requiring a separate internal seat.

With a diameter of 890 mm and an approximate Tub footprint of 0.62 m², IB 900 creates a substantial immersion experience within a space suited to gardens, courtyards and indoor wellness areas.

The circle was not chosen only for its appearance. It was selected to shape the complete experience of entering the water, finding a comfortable position and becoming still.

03 · Why It Had to Feel Natural in the Home

An ice bath is visible within its surroundings for far longer than each individual immersion session lasts.

The sculptural circular form gives the Tub a balanced presence when viewed from different directions, while heat-treated, knot-free walnut brings natural warmth and a furniture-like finish.

Precisely finished wood-joint detailing reinforces the craftsmanship of the exterior.

Inside, the smooth 1.5 mm stainless-steel Tub creates a substantial immersion area, while double-layer insulation helps limit unnecessary temperature changes.

The contrast between the stainless-steel interior and warm walnut exterior reflects our design approach: performance where it matters and natural warmth where the product meets the home.

04 · Why Simplicity Had to Continue Between Sessions

The ownership experience continues after you step out of the water.

The complimentary insulated Tub lid helps shield the water surface from debris and limit unnecessary temperature changes between sessions.

Heavy-duty fittings support compatible water connections, while the purpose-designed drainage adaptor connects the Tub outlet to a standard Australian garden hose.

This makes it easier to direct used water towards a suitable drainage or reuse location and brings greater control to the complete routine.

Preparation, immersion and drainage were all considered as parts of the same experience.

IB 900 Tub Only gives you the same purpose-designed personal immersion Tub, with the freedom to decide how your recovery experience begins.

Prefer Everything Ready from the Beginning?

The IB 900 Complete System brings together the Tub, your selected Chiller and a matching ventilated Step in one integrated setup.

Automatic temperature control, circulation and filtration prepare and maintain the water around your schedule, while the Step provides easier access and discreetly conceals the technical equipment within a coordinated walnut design.
