The duration for staying in an ice bath can vary based on your experience and goals. When beginning a cold plunge practice, we recommend you go “cold enough to gasp & long enough to shiver", which typically means around 2-4 minutes. While the ideal cold dose will vary from person to person , you can estimate your unique cold dose from this equation. You can achieve ultimate health benefits at 2 minutes, but you will notice it is time to get out by your shiver response. We advise keeping your plunges under ten minutes until you are well versed in your own practice. As you become more acclimated to the cold, you may find that shorter durations can still provide psychological benefits without the need to shiver.

While the metabolic benefits of the ice bath can be realized at temperatures as high as 50F, we recommended setting your ice bath to a temperature that is low enough to scare you, as this is the point at which the psychological benefits really kick in.

Adding 4lb-6lb of pure magnesium sulfate to your Morozko ice bath will soften your ice and may provide your body with transdermal absorption that supplements your magnesium levels. However, you should never add chlorine, chlorine bleach, or chloride salts of any type to your ice bath. For more information, click here.

Three dangers associated with ice baths and cold plunging are: drowning, hypothermia, & heart attack. To minimize these risks, follow these ice bath safety protocols: avoid contraindications, plunge sober supervise children enter the water feet first, don’t forget to breathe, and allow time to rewarm Never combine hyperventilation with cold water swimming. Do not attempt breath holds while in the water. To avoid risk of electric shock, leave your ice bath plugged in, as it is equipped with GFCI protection to ensure that you won't experience stray electrical currents escaping from the Forge electrical system -- even if you spill a little water. The number one contraindication of ice baths is hypertension (high blood pressure). Other common contraindications are cardia arrhythmia, pulmonary edema, anorexia, cold urticaria & anti-depressants. You should consult with your doctor before beginning any cold therapy practice. For more important information on ice bath safety, click here.

Once the temperature controller has been set to a desired temperature, the system will cycle on and off to maintain that temperature. The filtration/disinfection system will be preset to “automatic” unless manually activated.

Morozko ice baths use about 650W, which is less than a small hair dryer (800W). It runs on a standard three-pronged 110v power cord, so there is no need for additional wiring or dedicated circuit. Morozko is designed to operate 110v 15a Circuit in the United States & 220V 50Hz in the European Union & Middle East. Like your home refrigerator, most of the power goes to run the compressor that pumps the refrigerant. Some power runs the fans that cool the hot side coils, & on filtered models, a small amount goes to run the filter pump & generate ozone.

For a one time service cleaning, the technician will drain the ice bath, clean the steel, change the filter, wipe down filter housing, purge the plumbing lines & give a full diagnostic of the ice bath. This service has a $399 fee. For monthly service cleaning, the technician will do the same service monthly for 12 months, and this service is $350 per month. A bi-monthly service plan will provide the same ice bath maintenance, but at the rate of $375 every 2 months. Morozko also offers a one year service cleaning plan for 12 months, where the technician will service the ice bath every month for an overall fee of $3,500. See our Service page for more information.

Ozone is a chemical rearrangement of O2, the usual form of oxygen in the atmosphere, into a less stable, more powerful combination of three oxygen atoms, O3. The third oxygen atom is what makes ozone such a strong oxidizing agent. In fact, ozone is the most powerful and safe disinfecting agent available for water treatment systems. It is more powerful than chlorine and bromine, and safer because it consists only of pure oxygen. Ozone is able to destroy pollutants, pathogenic bacteria and viruses, and cleans the water by attacking other organic compounds like algae, and old skin cells. In short, ozone is terrific for cleaning water, which is why it is used in the most advanced drinking water treatment plants in the world. The arc discharge ozone generator in the Morozko ice bath has been tested using both an oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) meter in the water (for efficacy), and an ozone gas sensor above the water (for safety). You can read more about Ozone here.

To clean your ice bath filter, first make sure the filtration system is disengaged. Then, locate the two black bulkhead plugs that came with your bath. Use these two plugs to plug the tub by inserting them into the outlet and inlet port located at the bottom of the tub. These are the two ports where water enters and exits the bath, and this will prevent water from leaking out of the system during cleaning. Next, twist off the filter housing top, and rinse the Filter with a garden hose until it returns to its original white color. Return the filter to the Filter housing and screw the top back on. We will then remove the two black bulkheads from the inlet and outlet port. Next, we will want to twist the gray star located at the top of the filter. We will leave this valve open until we see water break the top of the filter. Once we see the water collect on the top of the filters, we will then tighten the star. Engage filtration to make sure you see the carbonated bubbles come from the outlet port.

We recommend cleaning the filter every two to three months. If you find the water getting dirty before two months have passed, adjust to more frequent filter cleanings. Our new models have a built-in timer which is set to engage the filtration once a day for 4 hours. This timer is usually set between 12 am and 4am. Running the filtration manually is up to the customer’s discretion.

If your water is becoming cloudy, more times than not, contaminants like lotion, body oils, butters, or even soap has entered the tub. The ozone filtration is designed for disinfection, not mass reduction. These substances can turn a sparkling clean bath into a murky, cloudy one with just a single plunge. (This issue is very common in commercial settings. The most effective solutions include clear signage mandating clients be free of oils and lotions, providing body wipes, and sending reminders when making appointments.)

Yes, Epsom salt is the only outside additive that has been approved for use in our ice baths. We typically start with about 8lbs of salt on the first addition. We recommend limiting it to 10lbs, but there are no adverse effects for higher volumes, other than salt crystals forming in the ice bath. However, we do advise against adding other chemicals to the water.

We recommend changing your water every 6 months to a year. Keeping your filter clean will limit how often you will have to change your water. If your water becomes cloudy, discolored, or has a smell, it is time to clean your filter and swap the water out.

The New Morozko Forge holds 80 gallons of water, the Arktika holds 88 gallons, the XL Ice Plunge holds 118 gallons, the Short Ice Barrel holds 125 gallons, the Tall Ice Barrel holds 225 gallons, the PRO holds 97 gallons, the Ice Plunge holds 110 gallons, and the Morozko Ice Bath holds 97 gallons.

All of our ice baths come with a detachable hose that can be used as a vacuum, or as a discharge hose, depending on the port to which you plug it in. The hose attaches right into your regular garden hose, so you can use the Forge pump to discharge to a household drain, or outdoors. In our Studio, we typically use a shop vac to get the last inch of remaining water out. We recommend draining & changing your water out every 6 months to a year.

Morozko is built for hard water, including high calcium and high iron water sources, like those typical of wells in the Western United States. The usual additional maintenance concerns around hard water, such as scaling of calcium carbonate deposits near the water line in the tub, still apply. There are zero concerns about fouling or scaling of a chiller units, because Morozko does not use chiller technology. We use our own proprietary freezer technology instead, and our water filtration/disinfection system is constructed to operate under hard water conditions.

All Morozko products utilize a hand built copper refrigeration system to cool the water. Like luxury refrigerators or freezers, the Morozko cooling system is designed to maintain the water temperature efficiently, but it does not run non-stop. It operates as needed to keep the water at the desired temperature, cycling on and off to conserve energy while ensuring optimal conditions for cold plunge therapy. This design helps maintain the longevity of the chiller and the overall system. The Morozko cooling system is not patented.

It will vary based on your location & the temperature of your tap water. If you want it to get cold immediately, you can jump start it with 100-200 lbs of ice. Otherwise, it will take approximately 24- 48 hours to start cooling. Morozko makes ice at temperature settings as high as about 38F. The lower the temperature setting, the more ice it will create.

Every Morozko comes with a heating coil wrapped around the water filter to add warmth to the water when the outside air drops below 40°F. This makes Morozko ice baths functional down to -10°F (-22°C).

Tung oil, also known as China wood oil, is a vegetable drying oil derived from the nuts of the tung tree. It's known for its water resistance, chemical resistance, and fast drying time. Tung oil hardens when exposed to air, creating a transparent, wet-looking coating. It's often used in paints, dyes, inks, and specialty products. Unlike linseed oil, tung oil provides a food-safe finish, making it advantageous for many applications. Morozko likes to use tung oil specifically due to its natural finish, as it doesn't contain any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is relatively easy to maintain and reapply.

All Morozko models have wooden exteriors, besides the New Morozko Forge, which has a 2" insulating foam board construction with a durable shell coating. All Morozko ice baths contain a stainless steel tub.

To maintain the wood on your ice bath, dry off any areas where water sits after use. When cleaning the wood, make sure to use only light soap & water & make sure to dry the wood completely upon completion. Do not use any cleaners with solvents, as these may damage the wood finish.

Several men and women have documented significant increases in total testosterone after adopting a regular practice of cold plunge therapy. In men, this is especially pronounced when they ice bathe prior to working out, a practice known as “pre-cooling.” This can be attributed to the mechanism of steroidogenisis performed by mitochondria, which is the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone (the steroidal precursor necessary to synthesize testosterone). For more information on testosterone and pre-cooling, click here.

While the use of ice baths for athletic recovery is well-established, there remains some question as to its impact on anabolic gains. While ice-bathing after a workout has recently been shown to lower serum testosterone levels, the practice of ice bathing before a workout — a practice known as “pre-cooling” — is increasingly showing the opposite effect. In addition, ice bathing has been shown to increase the size of the midcingulate cortex, the area of will power & resilience in the brain, as well as protect against brain injury & improve memory. For more information on how ice baths can benefit athletic performance, click here.

Cold therapy has been shown to be safe for women who are expecting. Women who cold plunge during pregnancy have reported positive outcomes, including better mood, reduced inflammation, and more energy. For more information on how ice baths can impact pregnancy, click here.

Metabolic disorders are the most common reason for fertility. Cold water therapy can recruit & activate brown fat for correcting metabolic disorders & modulating aberrant testosterone levels, resulting in improved fertility & reproductive health.

Morozko ice baths provide grounding therapy while you cold plunge through our stainless steel tubs & copper refrigeration coils. We designed the Morozko with a metal tub so that we could connect you to ground. The water in your Morozko is in constant electrical contact with the metal in the tub, which is in constant electrical contact with the copper refrigeration coils, and the coils are in constant electrical contact with the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) that goes straight to the ground circuit in the electrical wiring of your home. What that means is that when you plunge in your Morozko, you are bathing in the same unlimited pool of electrons that is available to you as when you swim in the ocean or a mountain stream. Through copper wire, the Morozko brings the earth's electrons to you while you plunge.

Without regular exposure to cold, the human body will lose all detectable brown fat. Metabolic dysfunction, and diseases typically associated with old age can result, including: heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's obesity, erectile dysfunction, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and cancer. Each of these disease states is associated with defective mitochondria & characterized by insulin resistance. However, cold plunge therapy can stimulate the production of new mitochondria that restore brown fat in human adults. Resolution or reversal of these diseases can result, along with improvements in metabolic & mitochondrial health.

For those populations living at extreme latitudes, cold exposure during the seasonal low of blood serum Vitamin D might compensate by stimulating mitochondrial production of ultraviolet light inside the cell, thus activating Vitamin D production inside brown fat and other cells. Thus, biophoton Vitamin D from cold exposure could supply sufficient levels for health & immune function, despite a deficiency in blood serum concentrations of Vitamin D.

Case studies in cold plunge therapy support its use for treatment of brain injury, mental health disorders, metabolic & cardiovascular disorders, multiple sclerosis, and chronic inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Shivering in the ice bath, especially when first starting out, can be beneficial for adapting to thermogenesis. The shiver reflex signals that your sympathetic nervous system has been activated, and over time, your body will begin shifting from thermogenesis to non-shivering thermogenesis dominance. This means that your body has begun the process of beiging white fat & recruiting brown fat. Once you have been acclimated to the cold, which usually takes about two weeks, you're then less likely feel the urge to shiver. Resisting this shiver reflex may also help improve heart rate variability (HRV) & build psychological resilience. In some cases, shivering can also reset your central nervous system, allowing for stress release while in the ice bath.
