Same Water Every Session
Repeatable sessions matter for cold therapy, so the chiller locks in your chosen setting between 2°C and 42°C (air temperature permitting).
Cold Therapy That Stays Cold Through Australian Summers
Make cold therapy consistent in Australia's heat with IceFusion plunges and Wi-Fi chillers that hold your water at the temperature you choose. In summer, tap water can run lukewarm and bags of ice melt quickly, so DIY sessions rarely feel the same twice. A chiller-controlled plunge with built-in filtration removes the guesswork, giving you repeatable cold-water sessions from the first hot week of spring to the last warm days of autumn.
- Holds a set temperature from 2°C, whatever the weather
- No ice to buy, haul or watch melt
- Schedule sessions from the iOS or Android app

Consistency Is the Whole Point
What Controlled Cold Therapy Gives You Over DIY Ice Baths
A wheelie bin of ice water is a fair way to try cold therapy, but in warm weather it is hard to repeat. A plunge with its own chiller gives you the same conditions every time, without the shopping trips and guesswork.
Forget the Servo Ice Run
No more buying bags of ice, carrying them home and watching them melt before you are ready to get in.
Ready Before You Are
Use the app to pre-schedule cooling, so the water is at temperature when you finish work or training.
Cleaner Water for Longer
UV, ozone and two filters clean the water, so a refill every 2 to 4 weeks is usually enough.
Built for Outdoor Spots
IPX4 outdoor rating means the system is designed for all-weather performance on a patio, deck or backyard.
Warm Soaks Too
Heating is standard, so the same plunge can switch to a warm soak when the weather turns cool.

Cold Therapy Equipment With Australian Support
Why Choose IceFusion for Your Cold Therapy?
Australia's climate makes do-it-yourself cold therapy surprisingly hard to get right. Through long, hot summers, water from the tap or the garden hose can be closer to lukewarm than cold, and a bag of ice disappears quickly in an outdoor tub. Two sessions in the same week can feel completely different, which makes it difficult to build a routine you trust.
IceFusion solves that with plunges built around a dedicated chiller. You choose the temperature, the chiller holds it and four-stage filtration keeps the water clean, so the conditions stay steady whether it is a mild morning or a heatwave afternoon. Our Australian team helps you size the tub and chiller to your space and climate.
Plunge Formats for Every Space
Begin simply with the Entry Recovery Tub, go upright with the Premium Pod, recline in the 140 cm Classic or 160 cm XL Classic, or share the Sporting Plunge Tub. Each suits a different body, space and routine.
Cooling Power You Can Compare
Chillers are offered at 1/2 HP or 1 HP and are set by app anywhere from 2°C to 42°C. If your tub is big or sits in the sun, the 1 HP gives you extra cooling headroom.
Guidance From Order to First Plunge
Tell us where the plunge will sit, how much direct sun it gets and how often you plan to use it. We keep local stock, usually dispatch within 24 to 48 hours and back every chiller with a 12-month warranty.
Your First Week of Cold Therapy
Five Steps to a Cold Therapy Routine You Can Repeat
Consistent cold therapy starts with consistent water. Follow these steps to set up a plunge that holds its temperature and is easy to keep clean.
-
Step 01
Find a Shaded, Level Spot
Choose a level surface with drainage and access to a suitable power point, ideally out of direct afternoon sun.
-
Step 02
Match the Chiller to Your Climate
Bigger tubs, colder goals and warmer spots lean towards 1 HP; otherwise 1/2 HP usually does the job.
-
Step 03
Connect and Fill
Blow up the tub, connect the hoses from the box and fill it; expect roughly 5 to 10 minutes all up.
-
Step 04
Choose Your Temperature
Set a starting temperature in the app, then adjust gradually as you get used to your routine.
-
Step 05
Look After the Water
Keep the lid on between cold therapy sessions, refresh the water every 2 to 4 weeks and swap the filter monthly.
Cold Water, Every Session
Customers on Keeping Their Plunge Cold Around the Clock
Really great
Absolutely loving the ice bath. I've used it both hot and cold and it works great either way (I got the 1/2 hp unit, and I find it's enough to keep my bath shockingly cold 24/7). Scott was really communicative during the delivery and set up process. … Highly recommend.
Experience
Great product and great customer service. Order processed very quick and arrived before I knew it. Scott was great, very prompt on any enquiries that I had. Nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend this product and company.
Classic tub + chiller
I recently purchased an ice bath and chiller from Ice Fusion, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! Scott, the owner, made the entire process so easy and seamless. … Highly recommend Scott and Ice Fusion if you're looking for top-quality products and excellent customer service!

Before You Choose Your Equipment
What to Check When Comparing Cold Therapy Setups
Not every route to cold therapy delivers the same experience. Before you choose, compare how each option handles temperature, water care, space and the conditions where you live.
DIY Ice Tubs Versus Chiller Plunges
A tub filled with tap water and ice is cheap to start, but the temperature depends on the weather, the water supply and how much ice you bought. A chiller plunge holds a set temperature and removes the ice run altogether.
Upright or Reclined Immersion
The upright Premium Pod uses less floor space, while the Classic and XL Classic let you lie back with your legs extended. The Sporting Plunge Tub is designed for several people at once.
Chiller Capacity for Warm Locations
A 1/2 HP chiller suits many home setups, while the 1 HP model adds cooling power for larger tubs, sunny positions and hotter regions. Shade and a cover help either chiller work efficiently.
Filtration and Water Changes
Four-stage filtration with UV and ozone keeps water clearer for longer. Budget a little time for upkeep: fresh water every 2 to 4 weeks and a new filter roughly monthly.
Placement, Power and Weather
Choose a level surface with drainage, chiller ventilation and a suitable power point. IceFusion systems are IPX4 outdoor rated, but a covered spot protects the equipment and the water temperature.
Delivery and Warranty
Metro delivery is free, regional deliveries attract a charge and orders usually leave within 24 to 48 hours. Chillers carry a 12-month warranty.
Chiller, Tub and Filtration
What Your Cold Therapy Plunge Can Include
Reliable cold therapy comes from equipment that controls the water for you. Whether you are comparing plunges, ice baths or chiller upgrades, these are the components that keep conditions consistent.
- Dedicated water chiller: 1/2 HP or 1 HP, holding your cold therapy setting anywhere from 2°C to 42°C as conditions allow.
- Wi-Fi app control: adjust and pre-schedule the temperature from iOS or Android.
- Four-stage filtration: UV and ozone plus an inlet filter and a 20 micron outlet filter.
- Purpose-built tub: durable drop-stitch construction in pod, oval, extended and sporting formats.
- Starter maintenance kit: four replacement filters plus all hoses and a clear manual.
- Outdoor-ready rating: IPX4 protection for all-weather performance.
Add cold plunge toe socks or non-chlorine water treatment to round out your setup.
Beating the Australian Heat
Why Australia's Hot Climate Makes DIY Cold Water Unreliable
Cold therapy at home sounds simple until you try it in an Australian summer. Tap water and bagged ice can both let you down when the weather heats up, even if your setup worked perfectly in winter.
Lukewarm Tap Water
Pipes, rooftop tanks and garden hoses all sit in the sun, so the water that comes out in January is often warmer than you expect. Starting each session from a different temperature makes progress hard to judge.
Ice That Melts Before You Get In
In hot weather, bagged ice can disappear fast in an outdoor tub, and topping it up means another trip to the shops. Costs and effort climb just as the weather makes cold water most appealing, and a half-melted tub is rarely as cold as you planned.
Humid Nights and Heatwaves
From tropical Queensland to inland heatwaves, even evening sessions can start warm. A chiller set to your target temperature takes the climate out of the equation, so every plunge feels familiar.
Cold Therapy Budget Guide

New to cold therapy and still curious? Ring 03 9970 5253 or drop us a line.
What is cold therapy at home?
Cold therapy at home usually means sitting in cold water in a purpose-built plunge or ice bath. Instead of relying on ice, an IceFusion setup uses a dedicated chiller to hold the water at the temperature you choose.
The chiller also circulates and filters the water, so it is ready for your next session.
Why is tap water and ice unreliable for cold therapy in summer?
In hot weather, tap and hose water can come out warm, and bagged ice melts quickly in an outdoor tub. That makes it hard to start each session at the same temperature.
A chiller holds a set temperature regardless of the starting water, ambient temperature permitting.
Can a chiller keep water cold during a heatwave?
The setting range is 2°C to 42°C, subject to the surrounding air. Very high outdoor temperatures make the chiller work harder, so shade, a cover and good ventilation help.
For hot locations or larger tubs, the 1 HP chiller adds cooling capacity.
What temperature should I set for cold therapy?
There is no single right setting. Many people begin with milder water and lower the temperature gradually as they get used to it.
Follow the supplied guidance and seek advice from your health professional if you have any medical concerns.
Which plunge is best for a first cold therapy setup?
The Premium Pod suits smaller spaces and upright sitting, while the Classic Tub gives you a reclined position. The $85 Entry Recovery Tub is a simple way to try cold therapy using your own water and ice.
Our team can help you choose based on your space and climate.
Is the chiller easy to use day to day?
The chiller is managed through an iOS and Android app, where you can set the temperature and pre-schedule sessions.
Installation is plug-and-play with no plumbing, and all hoses are supplied.
How often should I change the water and filters?
Most people refill every 2 to 4 weeks and replace the filter about monthly. Four replacement filters come with the chiller.
Non-chlorine water treatment can support water care between changes.
Can I use the same plunge for warm water?
Yes. Heating and cooling are standard, with a range from 2°C to 42°C.
That makes the plunge useful year-round, including cooler months when a warm soak may suit you better.
How much does cold therapy equipment cost?
Cold therapy equipment from IceFusion starts at $85 for the Entry Recovery Tub. A full cold therapy set-up with chiller is $1,295 to $2,495; the red cedar ice bath is $5,495.
Chiller size and tub format are the main price drivers.
Do you deliver cold therapy equipment Australia-wide?
Yes. Metro delivery costs nothing, regional addresses pay a delivery fee, and most orders are on their way within 24 to 48 hours.
