Frequently Asked Questions

How cold can the water get?

The chiller can cool water down to 3°C (37°F), depending on ambient temperature. In Thailand’s climate, expect temperatures of 5-10°C to be comfortably warm. Keeping the ice bath in shade or indoors will improve cooling performance.

Do I need to add ice?

No. The chiller maintains your set temperature automatically, so you never need to buy or handle ice. This saves money and hassle compared to traditional ice baths.

How long does it take to cool the water?

Initial cooling from tap temperature to your target typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on ambient conditions. Once cooled, the chiller maintains the temperature with minimal energy use.

How often do I need to change the water?

With the built-in filtration system, water stays clean for 3-4 weeks of regular use. We recommend showering before each plunge to extend the water life.

Can I use it outdoors in Thailand?

Yes, the Mi Phang is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. For best cooling performance in Thailand’s heat, position the ice bath and chiller in a shaded area. The chiller unit should be protected from direct rain.

Is it really portable?

Yes. When deflated, the tub packs into the included carry bag. The chiller unit is compact and lightweight. You can set up the complete system in a new location in about 15-20 minutes.

What is drop stitch construction?

Drop stitch is a manufacturing technique that connects the top and bottom layers of the tub with thousands of threads. When inflated, this creates rigid, hard walls that hold their shape – similar to inflatable paddle boards. It’s much sturdier than regular inflatable products.

How much does it cost to run?

The chiller is energy-efficient, typically costing around 20-40 baht per day depending on ambient temperature and how often you plunge. Much cheaper than buying ice daily.

What maintenance is required?

Minimal maintenance. Clean or replace the filter as needed (typically every 2-4 weeks), change the water monthly, and wipe down the tub occasionally. The system is designed to be low-maintenance.

How long does delivery take?

The standard delivery timeframe is 3-6 weeks from order confirmation for most locations in Thailand. We’ll confirm your specific delivery schedule during the ordering process.

What warranty is included?

The Mi Phang Ice Bath with Chiller comes with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
