Product Benefits

The SaunaLife Model S2BC Package is a 2-person cold plunge tub with a chiller included: the 200-gallon Model S2B Black Thermo-Pine immersion tub paired with the AP-1 chiller and heater, holding water anywhere from 37°F to 107°F. A cold plunge with a chiller is a cold water immersion tub with a refrigeration unit that cools and filters continuously, so it holds a set temperature instead of warming up like an ice bath. One tub covers both sides of contrast therapy. The AP-1 runs on a standard 110 to 120V GFCI-protected circuit, uses an ozone generator and external filter, and can be controlled through an LCD touchscreen, a Wi-Fi app, or an LED remote.

The tub is rectangular at 74.4 by 46 inches, seats two adults facing each other, and arrives fully assembled with a gray contoured fiberglass insert, foundation beams, and stairs. Session length depends on experience, water temperature, and individual health. Begin with short exposures and increase gradually. People who are pregnant or who have cardiovascular, circulation, or other relevant medical conditions should consult a qualified healthcare professional before cold immersion.

What does delivery involve?

Freight in two crates, curbside by appointment. The tub ships on a pallet at 396 lbs and 81.5 x 48 x 47.4 inches, the chiller separately at 125 lbs. The driver lowers the crates to ground level and stops there, so indoor placement needs your own help or a paid add-on. Freight is quoted separately, lead time is confirmed with SaunaLife before you order, and white glove delivery options are available at additional cost. If a crate arrives damaged, photograph it, note it on the paperwork before signing, and call us. We file the freight claim and coordinate the replacement.

Model S2BC Package questions

How cold does it get, and how long does it take?

Down to 37°F, held at whatever you set rather than drifting warmer the way ice does. Chill-down time depends on starting water and surrounding air temperature, so SaunaLife publishes cooling capacity rather than a fixed figure. After the initial cool-down the unit cycles to hold your set temperature. Refilling the tub, or restarting it after an extended shutdown, means another cool-down period. If you need water closer to freezing, the 1-person S1NC Package reaches 32.5°F.

Can it go in a garage or outdoors?

Yes, within limits. The tub is built for outdoor use. The AP-1 has a rated ambient operating range of 32°F to 113°F, so a garage or protected patio can suit it. Check what your space actually drops to in winter. The chiller also needs shelter from direct rain, snow, and prolonged sun while keeping its ventilation clearance, so a covered position rather than an enclosure.

Why not just build a DIY chest freezer plunge?

A chest-freezer conversion can cost less, but household freezers are not designed or certified for bathing. Sealing one for water and wiring a controller raises safety, sanitation, and warranty questions that fall on you. The S2BC is purpose-bu
