What to buy with it
- The Cold Pod lists no filtration for this tub, so keeping the water clean between changes is down to you. Bio Ouster 3-in-1 weekly cold plunge treatment (£48.86 at Amazon UK, 4.5 stars from 543 ratings)
- A pod standing straight on paving is the usual way a base gets worn through. A foam floor protector underneath prevents it. Lay-Z-Spa 10-piece floor protector (£35.04 at Amazon UK, 4.4 stars from 6,666 ratings)
- With no chiller there is no display, and it matters whether the water is at 8C or 14C. Intex floating pool thermometer (£7.49 at Amazon UK, 4.4 stars from 4,444 ratings)
