SOLSTICE Inflatable Cold Plunge Ice Bath Tub, Chiller-Ready 100 Gal

I looked everywhere to try and find a cheaper inflatable option with the chiller valves built into it and I couldn’t find any. I was worried it wouldn’t be that great but so far this thing is awesome. Really sturdy and roomy. I’m 6,4. 225 pounds. I can fit in it comfortably. But no one is getting in it with me. Unless they wanna be really friendly. lol. I paired this up with a Plunge 1HP Pro chiller I got from Plunge on a Father’s Day sale. I live in Phoenix Arizona where it’s 120 in the summer on average. The tub is outside. It is under a cover though. Where it never gets direct sun or direct rain. So far it’s still getting down to temperature and I haven’t actually gotten in it yet. But it is 115 outside right now and it’s down to 42 so far. Still dropping slowly. The tub isn’t sweating or anything. If you touch it, it isn’t cold or hot on the outside. So that tells me it’s pretty darn insulated. And I sat on the lid of this thing, it held me no problem. You will need a step stool if you’re shorter than 6 feet though. Will return with how I feel about it after a few weeks of use.

This thing sucks as it doesn't hold air for more than a day before it starts collapsing on itself

Very impressed with this product. I love how sturdy it is, how they provided a pump to inflate it, and how easy it was to set up- literally less than 5min! The size is great! My husband is 6’2” and said he fits in there no problem and that there could even by room for 2! Lol The insulation is great keeping the ice blocks in there and staying cool for days! No leakage, and I love that the lid has buckles to keep it shut tight also with a combo code lock for additional safety from little ones. Definitely worth the investment in my opinion. The only thing that I didn’t love was the smell when first opened- it was such a strong chemical odor I immediately told my husband to take it outside, but it’s been a few days outside and the odor has subsided.

This item could be a great option for a cold plunge pool but it leaks out of the box. Unfortunately the seams are all glued instead of welded. This is an option typical of cheaper inflatables. Solstice does not have a customer service phone number and the warranty return link on their website does not function. Update: Solstice contacted me directly and took care of the issue. They quickly provided a replacement tub, which works perfectly. Solstice was extremely helpful and addressed the bug with their website return link. They even followed up to make sure that my new tub was working perfectly. The solstice tub is considerably deeper and larger than other inflatable tubs and is perfect for complete submersion or if you are a larger athlete. I still think welded seems are superior but obviously come with an increased cost. Will update with how this functions long-term.

I will admit to being skeptical about purchasing an affordable cold plunge. This one is great! My husband is 6'5 and can submerge his body. It blows up easy and the lid is great. No complaints! Great for tall people!
