Buying an ice bath at Fonteyn
An ice bath, or cold plunge, holds water cooled to roughly 3 to 15°C for cold-water therapy. A short, cold dip can sharpen focus, lift your mood, support circulation and help muscles recover after training. Fonteyn offers models from Passion Ice Baths and its own Fonteyn range, from compact entry models to group baths, every one with active cooling so there is no need to add ice.
An ice bath is something you use day after day, so the cooling, the insulation and the placement need to be right. The surest way to choose is to see them in person. At the UK’s Biggest Outdoor Living Showroom in Leicester, the ice bath range stands on display, so you can compare the designs and cooling systems and talk it through with a Fonteyn specialist, who will advise on placement, temperature and how to start safely.

Three things that make the difference
Active cooling
No ice neededEvery model uses active cooling that holds the water at your chosen temperature automatically, working quietly much like a fridge. The temperature is adjustable from 15°C downwards, so you can start gently and build up.
Contrast therapy
Warm meets coldAlternating warm and cold water intensifies the effect on circulation, a method widely used in sport and recovery. The Elevate combines heating and cooling in one unit, designed for exactly this.
Placement
Compact and flexibleIce baths are compact and light compared with a spa, so most models fit a terrace, balcony or garage and run from a standard socket. The Rock-style models are made for outdoor placement.
What to look out for
Getting started: begin near 15°C and one to two minutes, then lower the temperature and build up gradually. Most people do not need more than a few minutes, as the benefits come early.
Running costs: energy use is similar to a small fridge, and full insulation lets the active cooling work efficiently. The exact figure depends on the room and water temperature you choose.
Delivery and aftercare: Fonteyn arranges delivery and positioning, and spare parts and support are usually available the next working day.

Frequently asked questions
How cold does an ice bath get?
The temperature adjusts from around 3 to 15 degrees. Beginners usually start near 15 degrees and lower it gradually. By 10 degrees the cold stimulus is noticeable and supports circulation and recovery.
How long should I stay in an ice bath?
Start with one to two minutes and build up gradually to three to five. Most people do not need more than ten minutes, as the benefits come in the first few. Listen to your body and never force the duration.
Do I need to add ice myself?
No. Every Fonteyn and Passion ice bath uses active cooling that holds the water at your chosen temperature automatically. It runs quietly and continuously, much like a fridge, so there is no need to add ice.
What is contrast therapy?
Contrast therapy means alternating between warm and cold water, which intensifies the effect on circulation. It is widely used in sport and rehabilitation. The Elevate model combines heating and cooling in one unit, designed for exactly this.
Where can I place an ice bath?
Ice baths are compact and light compared with a spa, so most models fit a terrace, balcony or garage and run from a standard socket. The Rock-style Faith and Explore are designed for outdoor placement with a weather-resistant, natural-stone finish.
How much electricity does an ice bath use?
Energy use is similar to a small fridge. Full insulation lets the active cooling work efficiently. The exact figure depends on the room temperature and the water temperature you choose.
Is an ice bath good for recovery?
Many athletes use cold immersion to support muscle recovery and reduce that heavy-legged feeling after training. It is also valued for the boost in focus and mood. A specialist can advise on a sensible routine.
