Icetubs will officially launch in the United States on April 23, 2026, bringing its Dutch-designed hot and cold immersion systems to US buyers.

The manufacturer says its lineup is built for both home and commercial use, with products already deployed across gyms, recovery studios, and hospitality settings in more than 30 countries. The US launch includes multiple tub formats, accessories, and water-care components intended to support full contrast-therapy routines.

What is launching in the US

  • IceBarrel
  • IceBarrel XL
  • IceBath
  • Tub accessories, including phone holder and drip tray options
  • Water-care products, including treatment and filtration items

According to Icetubs, users can configure water temperature down to 37°F for cold immersion or up to 100°F for heat exposure, so one tub can do both.

Thermally treated wood outside, stainless steel inside

Icetubs markets the range on European industrial design and cites Red Dot and Dutch Design Award recognition. Product construction details include thermally treated wood exteriors and insulated stainless steel interiors designed for repeated high-moisture, high-use operation.

Temperature settings can be adjusted on the unit itself or remotely through the Icetubs mobile app.

US Launch Date: April 23, 2026
Manufacturer: Icetubs (Netherlands)
Use Case: Hot and cold immersion for residential and commercial recovery environments

Professional formats are next

Icetubs has also said it plans to expand into more advanced professional-grade immersion formats with integrated filtration, high-capacity cooling, and overflow management systems intended for higher-throughput use cases.

For US sauna and recovery buyers, the April 23 launch adds a European option in the contrast-therapy category.
