Rising Dragon HLIB-049 Black Oval Cold Plunge Tub – 140-Gallon Portable Ice Bath
$259.99
$179.99
Make cold-water immersion easier to include in your routine with the Rising Dragon HLIB-049 Black Oval Cold Plunge Tub. Its horizontal design provides more room to sit and reposition than a compact upright tub, making it a practical choice for home recovery areas, garages, gyms, training facilities, and wellness spaces.
The insulated walls help slow unwanted temperature changes, while the included fitted cover helps protect the water between uses. Integrated connections make filling and draining more manageable and provide options for incorporating compatible external circulation or cooling equipment.
You can cool the water manually with ice, so a chiller is not required. If you prefer a more consistent setup, the tub may also be paired with an appropriately sized compatible external water chiller. Always verify the chiller’s capacity, plumbing connections, and flow requirements before purchasing.
With its black exterior, subtle textured finish, and generous 140-gallon capacity, the HLIB-049 creates a clean, dedicated cold-plunge area without requiring a permanent pool or built-in installation.
