Advantages of Plunge Cold Water Tub：

1. Environmentally friendly and high-quality materials: The Plunge Cold Water Tub is made of environmentally friendly PVC, pearl cotton and nylon cloth. The thickness of environmentally friendly PVC is 0.3mm, which strictly complies with the relevant national environmental protection standards. After professional testing, the content of heavy metals such as lead and mercury is far below the limit standard. For example, the lead content is less than 0.01mg/kg and the mercury content is less than 0.005mg/kg, ensuring that it will not cause harm to human health during use. The thickness of pearl cotton is 2mm, which has good thermal insulation performance and can effectively slow down the speed of water temperature drop. According to the test of professional institutions, when the initial water temperature is 10℃, after 1 hour, the water temperature only rises by 2-3℃. This is due to the low thermal conductivity of pearl cotton, which can effectively prevent the rapid loss of heat. The thickness of nylon cloth is 0.35mm, which enhances the overall strength and durability of the bathtub. Through the tensile strength test, its tensile strength reaches more than 500N/5cm, which can withstand a certain amount of tension and friction, and is not easy to break, providing users with a safe and stable use environment. This combination of high-quality materials ensures that the bathtub has good performance and durability while ensuring environmental safety.

   
   

2. Fast inflation and deflation: The bathtub is equipped with efficient inflation and deflation devices. Using the matching air pump, it only takes 3-5 minutes to fill the entire bathtub, which greatly saves the user's preparation time. In laboratory tests, it takes an average of 4 minutes to inflate an 85cm*75cm bathtub. The deflation process is also fast. After opening the deflation valve, the air in the bathtub can be basically emptied within 2-3 minutes. This fast inflation and deflation function makes the use of the bathtub more convenient. Users can unfold or store the bathtub at any time as needed, which improves the efficiency of use, especially suitable for fast-paced modern life. Whether it is temporary use at home or quick construction and storage during outdoor activities, it can be easily handled.

   
   

3. Good thermal insulation performance (relative cold water maintenance): Although it is called a cold water immersion bathtub, the presence of the pearl cotton layer also helps to relatively maintain the cold water temperature to a certain extent. In a low temperature environment, the bathtub can better maintain the temperature of the injected cold water than ordinary containers. In an ambient temperature of 15℃, water at 10℃ is injected. After 1 hour, the water temperature rise is 30% - 50% lower than that of ordinary plastic containers. This is because the pearl cotton forms an insulating layer, which reduces the conduction of external heat into the barrel. This relatively good thermal insulation performance allows users to maintain a suitable cold water immersion temperature for a long time, enhances the user experience, and avoids the trouble of frequently changing cold water. It is especially suitable for scenes that require long-term immersion.

   
   

4. High load-bearing capacity: Although the bathtub adopts a foldable and lightweight design, its load-bearing capacity is excellent. After rigorous load-bearing tests, the bathtub can withstand a weight of more than 150 kilograms. During the test, objects of simulated different weights were placed in the bathtub, and the bottom and side wall support structures of the bathtub were able to evenly disperse the pressure without deformation or damage. This means that even adults with a fatter body can use it safely and comfortably. The bathtub has a reasonable structural design, fully considering the principles of mechanics, ensuring that it will not be damaged due to excessive local pressure when carrying heavy objects, providing users with reliable use guarantees and meeting the use needs of users of different body shapes.

   
   

5. Customizable personalized logo: Supports customized logo to meet the personalized needs of users. Enterprises or groups can print their own brand logo or specific pattern on the bathtub as a means of publicity or exclusive logo. The customized logo adopts advanced printing technology and has high adhesion and wear resistance. After friction test, under normal use, the logo is not easy to fade or fall off after rubbing it 1000 times with a soft brush at a certain force, and it can remain clear and beautiful for a long time. This personalized customization service makes the bathtub not only a practical tool, but also a carrier for corporate publicity or group logo, which increases the added value and uniqueness of the product.

   
   

6. Diverse size selection: Provide 85cm75cm, 85cm70cm, 75cm75cm and other sizes to meet the needs of different users. For taller users, the size of 85cm75cm can provide more spacious space, ensuring that there is enough space to stretch the body when using it. After actual measurement, the internal space of this size of bathtub can accommodate users under 190cm in height for comfortable soaking. For users with limited space, the 75cm*75cm size is relatively compact, easy to store and place, and takes up less space when not in use. This variety of size options improves the applicability of the bathtub, allowing more users to find a bathtub that suits their usage scenarios and physical conditions.

Plunge Cold Water Tub Maintenance:

1. Clean the surface regularly: Use mild soapy water to clean the surface of the tub every week to remove stains and dust. For stubborn stains, you can use a soft brush to gently scrub, but avoid using sharp or rough cleaning tools to avoid scratching the surface of the tub. Because the PVC material on the surface of the tub is relatively soft, sharp objects may damage its surface structure, affecting its appearance and service life. After cleaning, rinse it with clean water and wipe it dry with a dry cloth. Avoid using detergents containing chemical solvents or strong acids and alkalis, as these substances may react chemically with the material of the tub and corrode the tub. For example, detergents containing alcohol may make the PVC material hard and brittle. Regular cleaning can keep the appearance of the tub clean and prevent bacteria from growing, providing users with a hygienic and safe environment for use.

   
   

2. Check the inflation and deflation device: Check the inflation and deflation device of the tub every 1-2 months to see if it is working properly. Check whether the connection of the inflation pump is loose and whether the valve can be opened and closed normally. During the inspection, you can simulate the inflation and deflation operation to observe whether there is any leakage or abnormal sound. If the inflation efficiency of the air pump is found to be reduced or the valve is not tightly sealed, it should be repaired or replaced in time. At the same time, during use, be careful to avoid water and debris from entering the air pump to avoid affecting its performance. For example, after outdoor use, dust and moisture on the surface of the air pump should be cleaned in time. Keep the inflation and deflation devices in good condition to ensure that the bathtub can be inflated and deflated normally, and avoid the bathtub from being unable to be used normally due to device failure.

   
   

3. Avoid contact with sharp objects: During daily use and storage, be careful to avoid contact between the bathtub and sharp objects, such as knives, keys, etc. Sharp objects may puncture the PVC material of the bathtub, causing leakage or damage. If it is accidentally scratched by a sharp object, it can be repaired with a special PVC repair glue. When repairing, first clean the damaged part, remove stains and impurities, then apply the repair glue, and after the glue is dry, check whether there is still leakage. When applying the repair glue, make sure to apply it evenly and cover the damaged part and a certain range around it to ensure the repair effect. Preventing contact with sharp objects can effectively extend the service life of the bathtub and reduce the cost of replacing the bathtub due to damage.

   
   

4. Dry and ventilated storage environment: When the bathtub is not in use, it should be stored in a dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture and mold. A humid environment may cause the bathtub material to mold and deteriorate, affecting its performance and appearance. At the same time, avoid exposing the bathtub to the sun for a long time. The ultraviolet rays in the sun may cause the PVC material to age and become brittle, reducing the strength and durability of the bathtub. The bathtub can be folded and placed in a special storage bag, and then placed in a cool and dry cabinet or storage room. During storage, check the condition of the bathtub regularly to ensure that it is not damp or damaged. A good storage environment can maintain the quality of the bathtub and extend its service life.

   
   

5. Regularly check the material condition: Check the material condition of the bathtub thoroughly every 3-6 months. Check whether the PVC material is aging, hardening, cracking, etc., and whether the pearl cotton and nylon cloth are damaged or falling off. When checking the PVC material, you can feel its softness with your hands and observe whether there are cracks on the surface; when checking the pearl cotton and nylon cloth, check whether there is any tearing or separation. If you find that there is a problem with the material, you should contact the manufacturer or professional maintenance personnel in time for repair or replacement. Regularly checking the material condition can timely discover potential problems, avoid malfunctions during the use of the bathtub, ensure the safety of users, and ensure that the bathtub is always in good use.

   
   

6. Avoid carrying heavy objects for a long time: Although the bathtub has a high load-bearing capacity, it is necessary to avoid carrying heavy objects for a long time. Carrying heavy objects for a long time may cause the support structure of the bathtub to deform and affect its service life. When using a bathtub, it should be used within its specified load range and do not exceed the maximum load weight. Especially when multiple people use the bathtub at the same time, pay attention to controlling the total weight to ensure that the bathtub can withstand pressure normally and maintain the stability of its structure. For example, if the maximum load weight of the bathtub is 150 kg, do not let objects exceeding this weight stay in the bathtub for a long time to avoid irreversible damage.
