Create a dedicated cold-plunge space without installing a permanent acrylic or metal tub. The Absolute Zero Inflatable Barrel Tub uses rigid drop-stitch construction to provide a stable, deep plunge while retaining the ability to deflate for storage or transport.
Deep Immersion in a Compact Barrel Footprint
The upright barrel shape minimizes floor space while providing a deep 43-inch interior profile for seated immersion. Three-inch drop-stitch walls help the tub hold its shape when inflated, while the triple-layer PVC bottom adds durability at the highest-contact surface.
Built-in 3/4-inch camlock connections make the tub easier to integrate with a compatible chiller and circulation system. When the tub is not needed, it can be deflated and stored in the included backpack, making it more flexible than a rigid plunge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the tub include a chiller?
No. The tub can be used with manually added ice or connected to compatible cooling equipment purchased separately.
How much space does it require?
The tub is approximately 39 inches in diameter and 43 inches tall. Leave additional clearance for safe entry, hoses, the chiller, drainage, and service access.
Can it remain outdoors?
The tub is marketed for flexible indoor or outdoor setups, but sun, freezing temperatures, sharp surfaces, weather, and water maintenance can affect lifespan. Follow the care and storage directions.
How much water does it hold?
The technical section lists 160 gallons. Another marketing section on the manufacturer site references 175 gallons, so use the technical figure unless Absolute Zero confirms otherwise.
Cold-water immersion can create significant cardiovascular and breathing stress. Never plunge alone, avoid alcohol or impairment, enter gradually, and consult a qualified healthcare professional before use when appropriate.
