When will I see the benefits?

You will feel some of them straight away, such as mental sharpness, increased blood- flow and alertness.

Do I need to add ice?

That is down to your preference; some still feel the benefits from simply submerging in the cold water. The aim is to get the temperature below 15 degrees Celsius to achieve all the benefits. Most of the time, it will be below without having to use ice. Using ice will reduce the temperature between 3-7 degrees.

Where can I use my Pod?

It’s designed to be a simple and portable way to enjoy the full cold water immersion experience. It is easy to set up and dismantle, so just follow our user guide or video on the website. You can use it at home in your garden, patio, or even a balcony. It folds away neatly into a travel bag so you can take it anywhere. If you have a place to drain the pod, then it’s suitable for inside use. Just fill it 3/4 full as the water rises once you submerge. The ice bath is weather and UV protected to help keep it in great condition.

What temperature do you recommend?

For beginners, starting with the ice bath temperature at around 59°F (15°C) is suggested. Just lower the temperature at your own pace. You will reap some benefits from the outset.

How does it keep the water cold?

The Elixir Pod is integrated with triple thermal insulated layers, a thermo Lid, and rain cover to assist in keeping the water temperature lower.

We recommend leaving the pod outside overnight to reduce the temperature, preferably in a shaded area.

Does it include a cover?

Yes, the Elixir Pod comes with a waterproof cover to help preserve water cleanliness.

How long should each ice bath session be?

We recommend three to eight minutes. Start by finding your comfort zone. Increase the time. Listen to your body and learn your limits.

How do I drain the Ice Pod?

The Elixir Pod is equipped with a fixed tap for draining. You can connect a standard garden hose or open the tap, depending on the pod's setup location.

How often should I clean/empty The Elixir Pod?

We recommend changing the water in your Elixir Pod once per week. You can extend this by adding sea salt. Clean the pod by first draining it in a safe area, then wash the inside with warm soapy water, rinse out, and it’s ready to be used straight away.
