Dundalk Leisurecraft Baltic Plunge Tub: Cold Therapy, Handcrafted in Canada
The Dundalk Leisurecraft Baltic Plunge Tub brings the ancient practice of cold water immersion home with true Canadian craftsmanship. Built from locally harvested Eastern White Cedar and shipped fully assembled, this barrel-style cold plunge tub is ready to use the moment it arrives — no tools, no assembly, no hassle. Fill it with water, add ice or connect an optional electric chiller, and experience the invigorating benefits of cold therapy on your own schedule.
Built to Last, Crafted from Nature
Eastern White Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, aromatic, and stunning — the same premium wood used across Dundalk Leisurecraft's entire Canadian Timber Collection. The 5/8" thick cedar skirting on the exterior is reinforced with polished stainless steel bands that hold the barrel's shape through years of use, while the interior features a durable 3/4" thick HDPE plastic floor, seat, and top ring with 1/4" thick upright walls for a watertight, low-maintenance shell. The molded-in bench sits 12" off the floor with a 24" wide seat — comfortable for extended cold immersion sessions.
Ice or Chiller — You Choose
Keep things simple by adding bags of ice to bring the water down to your desired temperature, or take the hands-off approach with an optional electric chiller unit that maintains precise temperatures as low as the high 30s°F. The chiller connects through the standard 3/4" NPT openings built into the tub and also filters your water, keeping it clean between sessions. Either way, the 150-gallon capacity provides full single-person immersion for a proper cold plunge experience.
Zero Assembly, Zero Electricity Required
Unlike rectangular plunge tubs that require hours of assembly, the Baltic arrives fully built and ready to fill. The only setup is installing the included drain hardware — an adjustable wrench, pipe wrench, and thread tape are all you need. There are no electrical connections needed for the tub itself — just a flat, level surface and a garden hose for filling and draining. The ball valve drain with garden hose connector makes water changes effortless. It's the simplest path to daily cold therapy.
The Perfect Companion to Your Sauna
Designed to complement Dundalk Leisurecraft's Canadian Timber Collection saunas, the Baltic Plunge Tub creates an authentic contrast therapy experience right in your backyard. Alternate between the heat of your sauna and the cold of the plunge tub to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery. The matching cedar aesthetic ties your entire outdoor wellness space together beautifully.
Customize Your Setup
Start with the base tub and add optional accessories to build your ideal cold plunge station. The three-tier cedar steps make entry and exit easy and safe. Choose between an insulated vinyl cover for heat retention or a solid cedar lid for a natural look. For automated temperature control, pair with the Penguin Cold Therapy Chiller or the Coldture Water Chiller Pro — both available at significant savings when bundled with the tub.
Every Dundalk Leisurecraft product is handcrafted to order in Ontario, Canada, backed by a 5-year parts warranty and our lifetime expert support. Have questions about sizing, accessories, or chiller options? Our specialists are here 7 days a week to help you build the perfect setup.
