If you’ve been wondering whether you need to subscribe to a maintenance plan for your ice bath — here’s the good news: you don’t.
Unlike hot tubs or swimming pools, ice baths require minimal upkeep and can stay fresh and ready to use with just a few simple cleaning habits.
🧊 Ice Baths Don’t Need Regular Maintenance
Most home and gym users don’t need any form of subscription service or professional cleaning for their ice bath. Whether you’re using a Crocpad Ice Bath Pro, Ice Pod, or Large Pro Ice Bath, the setup is designed to be low-maintenance, durable, and hygienic.
Quick Tips to Keep Your Ice Bath Clean:
-
Use a water treatment solution – A small amount of pool-safe sanitizer or natural spa cleaner helps keep water clear and bacteria-free.
-
Change water every 1–2 weeks – Depending on usage frequency and outdoor conditions.
-
Rinse after each session – Use mild soap and fresh water to remove sweat and debris.
-
Keep it covered – Always close the lid or cover when not in use to prevent dust, leaves, and insects.
-
Dry it completely before storage – Prevents mold buildup and prolongs material life.
With these steps, you can keep your Crocpad ice bath spotless without spending extra on a subscription service.
⚙️ What About the Chiller?
If you’re using a Crocpad Boreon 300 PRO or Boreon 1000 PRO chiller, maintenance becomes slightly more important — especially with daily or commercial use.
While you still don’t need a subscription plan, it’s wise to inspect and clean your chiller regularly to maintain efficiency and cooling performance.
Basic Chiller Maintenance Steps:
-
Clean the air filter every 1–2 months to prevent overheating.
-
Flush the water line occasionally to remove sediment or mineral build-up.
-
Check hoses and fittings for leaks or blockages.
-
Avoid direct sunlight or enclosed spaces to ensure optimal airflow.
-
Run it periodically even if not in use to keep internal components lubricated.
For heavy commercial users — such as gyms, wellness centres, or recovery clinics running chillers all day — a subscription or service plan might make sense for convenience and warranty protection.
💡 The Takeaway
For most home and personal users, no subscription service is needed.
Your ice bath and chiller are designed to be plug-and-play, self-maintained, and long-lasting.
With simple cleaning habits and occasional chiller care, you can enjoy your recovery routine hassle-free — no hidden fees or service visits required.
