Ultimate Guide: Setting Up and Maintaining Your Tundra Tub™

Welcome to the Tundra Tribe! If you’ve just purchased a Tundra Tub™, you’re on your way to experiencing the numerous benefits of cold water therapy. This guide will walk you through the setup process and provide essential maintenance tips to ensure your Tundra Tub™ remains in top condition.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

• Indoors or Outdoors: Select a location that can handle water spillage and is close to a water source. Outdoor setups should be on a flat, stable surface.
• Access to Power: If your tub includes features like a pump or chiller, ensure there’s a nearby power outlet.

• Check Components: Ensure all parts, such as the tub, pump, hoses, and any additional accessories, are included and undamaged.
• Read the Manual: Familiarize yourself with the assembly instructions provided in the manual.

• Inflate (if applicable): Use an air pump to inflate the tub to the recommended pressure.
• Attach Hoses and Accessories: Connect the hoses to the tub and attach any necessary accessories like the water filter or chiller unit.

• Use a Hose: Attach a garden hose to your water source and fill the tub. Depending on your preference and local water temperature, you may add ice to achieve the desired cold plunge temperature.

• Initial Fill: Add 15 to 40 pounds (7-18 kg) of ice to achieve the desired temperature.
• Maintain Temperature: Adjust the amount of ice as needed to maintain the ideal cold plunge temperature.

• Ensure Stability: Check that the tub is stable and all connections are secure.
• Test the Water Temperature: Use a thermometer to ensure the water is at your preferred temperature.

Maintenance Tips

Regular Cleaning

• Weekly Clean: Drain the tub and clean the interior with a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
• Deep Clean: Once a month, perform a deep clean by using a vinegar solution to disinfect the tub. Ensure it is thoroughly rinsed before refilling.

• Use Salt: Add about 1 pound (0.4 kg) of salt to help keep the water clean and prevent bacterial growth.
• Change Water Regularly: Depending on usage, change the water every 2-4 weeks or after 10-15 sessions.

• Check for Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect hoses, filters, and other components for any signs of wear and tear. Replace as necessary.
• Ensure Proper Functioning: Make sure the pump and chiller unit (if applicable) are functioning correctly.

• Drain Completely: When storing the tub for an extended period, ensure it is completely drained and dry to prevent mold and mildew.
• Deflate and Pack: For inflatable models, deflate and pack the tub neatly in its storage bag. Store in a cool, dry place.
