Cold water therapy: Oval bath by Emperor

Oval bath by Emperor

Emperor offers a completely bespoke, handmade timber ice bath with a durable inner mould. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, it can be purchased with a choice of built-in underwater LED lights, plus added extras such as a mobile phone shelf and towel storage drawer.

The temperature is generated by the Emperor Cool Cube, which has a compact design, touchscreen LCD controls and wi-fi capability. An app can be used to control the Cube, which can be dropped and retained as low as 2˚C without adding ice.

Equipped with chlorine-free ozone filtration, spa operators can choose the finish and colour of the exterior timber as well as the inner mould. A one-size-fits-all bath, the unit can be transported through standard UK door frames and comes with a steel-mesh reusable filter.

“Our wi-fi enabled cooler means operators can schedule the ice bath temperature from a phone or tablet, making remote management easier,” says Daniel Watson, founder and director of Emperor. “Installation is a simple plug and go, making it ideal for retrofitting into existing thermal suites.”
