Rising Dragon Round Cold Plunge Tub HLIB-051 – 120-Gallon Black Ice Bath
$239.99
$129.99
Create a dedicated place for cold-water immersion without installing a permanent plunge pool. The Rising Dragon HLIB-051 is a 120-gallon round cold plunge tub designed for deeper, upright immersion while requiring less floor space than a horizontal tub.
The compact footprint works well in home gyms, garages, training facilities, athletic recovery areas, and appropriately equipped wellness spaces. Its tall, seated design allows you to settle into the water without needing the additional floor length required by an oval cold plunge.
Insulated construction helps slow unwanted temperature changes, while the fitted cover protects the tub interior between uses. The durable black textured exterior provides a clean, professional appearance and additional structure around the tub walls.
You can cool the water manually with ice, so a water chiller is not required. For a more consistent setup, the HLIB-051 also includes inlet and outlet connections that may be used with an appropriately sized compatible external chiller or circulation system. Always confirm the equipment’s supported water volume, connection sizes, and flow requirements before purchasing.
The inflatable tub can be deflated for transportation or storage. A manual hand pump, carrying bag, repair materials, adapters, and setup accessories are included, giving you the essential components needed to assemble and store your cold plunge.
Important: Water chillers, filtration systems, and powered circulation equipment are not included.
