The Clearlight Plunge is a self-contained cold therapy tub designed for cold water immersion and contrast therapy. It adjusts from 36°F to 104°F, so it handles both cold plunging and warm soaking. Built from brushed stainless steel (SS304) and Canadian Cedar, it arrives fully assembled, requires no plumbing, and plugs into a standard 120V household outlet. Fill with water, plug in, set your temperature, and plunge.

36°F to 104°F (2°C to 40°C). The integrated digital control panel lets you set any temperature within this range. The advanced cooling system uses a compressor with approximately 3,000 watts of cooling capacity to reach and maintain cold temperatures, while the heating system brings water up to warm therapy temperatures. You can switch between cold and warm at any time.

The Clearlight Plunge maintains your exact set temperature automatically — no buying ice, no temperature fluctuations, no draining and refilling. The integrated ozone generator and dual filtration system keep the water clean without manual chemical dosing. The ergonomic stainless steel tub eliminates buoyancy issues with a natural seated position. And it looks like a premium piece of furniture, not a farm supply purchase.

No. The Clearlight Plunge is a self-contained plug-and-plunge system. Fill it with a garden hose, plug it into a dedicated 120V outlet, and it's ready to use. It includes both fill and drain valves compatible with standard hose sizes (1", ¾", and ½"). A licensed plumber can optionally install a permanent water connection if preferred.

A standard 120V / 15A household outlet. The Plunge draws a maximum of 10.5 amps (1,150 watts). Plug it into a dedicated wall receptacle — do not use an extension cord or power strip. The unit includes a built-in 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD) for electrical safety. Clearlight also recommends external RCD protection and a thermal breaker on the circuit.

From ambient fill temperature to your target cold temperature, cooling time depends on your starting water temperature and target setting. The compressor delivers approximately 3,000 watts of cooling capacity. In typical conditions, expect the water to drop several degrees per hour. Once at your set temperature, the system maintains it automatically. Using the insulated lid when not in use significantly reduces cooling time and energy consumption.

The Clearlight Plunge operates at under 60 decibels — roughly the volume of a normal conversation. The compressor is the primary sound source and runs intermittently to maintain temperature. When the water reaches your set temperature, the compressor cycles off and the unit is very quiet.

Yes. The Clearlight Plunge is rated IPX4 for both indoor and outdoor use. For outdoor placement, position it in a shaded or covered area away from direct sunlight and rain. Maintain at least 19.7" (500mm) of clearance around ventilation areas for proper airflow. If you live in a region with freezing temperatures, follow the winterization procedures in the owner's manual to prevent damage — the unit has an antifreeze mode that activates automatically when ambient temperature drops below 32°F.

Yes. The Clearlight Plunge is designed to fit through standard doorways at 29.5 inches wide. The unit comes with heavy-duty self-locking and leveling wheels for easy repositioning when empty.

The Clearlight Plunge weighs approximately 474 pounds empty and 1,357 pounds when filled with water. It holds approximately 105.7 US gallons. Make sure your floor or surface can support approximately 1,765 lbs (800 kg) including the user. The crated shipping dimensions are 81.5" L x 32.7" W x 46.5" H at 617 lbs.

Exterior dimensions: 78" L x 29.5" W x 40.4" H. Interior tub dimensions: 47.2" L x 25.6" W x 33.3" H. The tub provides a natural seated position with enough depth for full shoulder immersion.

Yes. The Clearlight Plunge arrives fully assembled. Unbox it, position it, fill with water, plug in, and set your temperature. No tools, no assembly, no plumber required. The unit includes reinforced base points for lifting with a forklift or pallet jack if needed for placement.

The Clearlight Plunge uses a dual-stage cleaning system: an ozone generator for chemical-free disinfection and a dual filtration system consisting of a 10" x 2.5" 20-micron pleated sediment filter plus a reusable stainless steel mesh filter. This combination keeps the water clean with minimal manual maintenance. Do not use chlorine or bromine — the ozone system provides natural sanitization. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can optionally be used at 30–50 ppm for additional clarity.

Every 1–3 months depending on usage frequency. Replace sooner if the water becomes cloudy, foamy, or develops an odor. Rinse the sediment filter every 2 weeks, soak it monthly in diluted hydrogen peroxide, and replace it every 1–3 months. The stainless steel mesh filter is reusable — simply rinse with clean water as needed. Rinse your body before each session to reduce contamination and extend water clarity.

Yes, in moderation. Do not exceed 1–2 kg per full fill. Magnesium and Epsom salts are compatible with the ozone system but may contribute to mineral buildup in pumps, pipes, and filters. If using salts, rinse the filter weekly instead of biweekly, replace water more frequently, wipe down the stainless steel tub after draining to avoid salt residue, and flush the system periodically with fresh water to prevent scaling. Do not exceed 3 kg per fill.

Yes. The SmartLife app (iOS and Android) is included — no additional cost or subscription. It connects to the Plunge via your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and gives you full remote control of power, temperature, and timer scheduling. You can set daily or weekly schedules so the Plunge reaches your target temperature before you're ready to use it. The app syncs in real time with the physical control panel on the unit.

Beginners should start with 1–2 minutes and gradually increase to 3–5 minutes once per day as your body adjusts. If you plan to exceed this duration or frequency, consult a physician. If you feel faint, dizzy, or experience any unusual sensations, exit the plunge immediately. Listen to your body — cold immersion affects everyone differently.

Absolutely. Contrast therapy — alternating between cold immersion and heat exposure — is one of the most popular uses for the Clearlight Plunge. Pair it with any Clearlight infrared sauna for a complete contrast therapy setup. A common protocol is 15–20 minutes in the sauna followed by 2–3 minutes in the cold plunge, repeated 2–3 rounds. The Plunge's wide temperature range (36°F–104°F) supports both the cold and warm sides of contrast therapy.

The tub interior is brushed SS304 stainless steel — marine-grade, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean. The exterior is handcrafted Canadian Cedar for natural beauty and durability. The structural frame uses galvanized steel. The insulated lid features a water-resistant finish with a practical handle and foldable design for easy storage.

Wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth or soft brush. Optionally re-stain or seal every 6–12 months using polyurethane varnish (lightly sand beforehand). Limit direct sunlight and moisture exposure to reduce cracking or warping. Natural color variation and wear in cedar is normal and not covered under warranty.

The Clearlight Plunge ships with: the fully assembled plunge tub, insulated lid, tie-down fastener straps with lockable buckles, cedar step with built-in storage compartment, digital control panel, power cord with built-in RCD, stainless steel mesh filter, pleated sediment filter, and owner's manual. Optional accessories sold separately include an outdoor cover (charcoal color) and a 3-pack of replacement water filters.

The Clearlight Plunge carries a 2-year limited residential warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. The warranty extends only to the original purchaser and is non-transferable without Clearlight's written consent. It does not cover commercial use, consumable components (filters, seals, gaskets under normal wear), damage from improper water quality, unauthorized modifications, or failure to follow the owner's manual. No product registration is required — keep your proof of purchase.

The Clearlight Plunge is not a medical device. Consult a qualified healthcare provider before use if you have any underlying health conditions, including heart disease, high or low blood pressure, circulatory problems, Raynaud's disease, or any condition that may be affected by cold exposure. Do not use if you are unable to sense or respond to temperature changes. Children should not use the device without adult supervision.

Cold plunge tubs may be eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement with a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your healthcare provider. Eligibility depends on your specific plan and the medical justification. Contact your HSA/FSA administrator to confirm coverage before purchasing.
