FAQ

We know that purchasing a cold plunge, sauna, or red light therapy device is a big decision, and you probably have some questions before making your investment. Below, we’ve answered the most common ones to help guide your decision.

 


1. What are the health benefits of cold plunges, saunas, and red light therapy?

Each of these recovery tools offers unique and scientifically backed benefits:

  • Cold Plunges: Reduce inflammation, enhance muscle recovery, improve circulation, boost energy, and support mental resilience.
  • Saunas: Help with detoxification, improve blood flow, relax muscles, promote better sleep, and support cardiovascular health.
  • Red Light Therapy: Speeds up muscle and tissue recovery, reduces joint pain, enhances skin health, and promotes overall cellular repair.

Many of our customers use these products for athletic recovery, stress relief, and overall wellness.


2. How do I choose the right product for my needs?

The right product depends on your personal goals, space, and budget. Here are a few key considerations:

  • For cold plunges: Decide if you want a portable or built-in model and whether you need an ice-cooled, chiller-cooled, or standard tub setup.
  • For saunas: Choose between infrared (low heat, deep penetration) or traditional (high heat, full-body sweating) depending on your preferences.
  • For red light therapy: Consider the wavelengths, intensity, and coverage area—a larger panel is better for full-body use.

If you're unsure, reach out to us, and we’ll help you find the perfect fit!


3. What are the installation requirements?

  • Cold Plunges: Some require only a water source, while others need electrical connections for built-in chillers.
  • Saunas: Traditional saunas require a dedicated electrical circuit, while infrared saunas typically plug into a standard outlet.
  • Red Light Therapy: Most units are plug-and-play with minimal setup required.

Be sure to check product specifications or ask us for guidance on space, ventilation, and power requirements.


4. What’s the difference between infrared and traditional saunas?

  • Traditional Saunas: Use heated rocks to warm the air, creating a high-temperature, steam-producing environment (180°F–200°F). Great for deep sweating and detoxification.
  • Infrared Saunas: Use infrared light to directly heat your body without drastically heating the surrounding air (120°F–150°F). Ideal for deep tissue relaxation and improved circulation.

Both offer amazing health benefits, so the choice depends on your preference for heat intensity, sweating levels, and relaxation style.


5. What maintenance is required?

  • Cold Plunges: Require regular water changes, proper filtration, and occasional cleaning with mild disinfectants. Some models use ozone or UV filtration to keep the water fresh longer.
  • Saunas: Need occasional wiping down of wood surfaces, benches, and heaters to prevent buildup.
  • Red Light Therapy: Simply requires dusting and keeping panels clean for optimal performance.

We provide specific care instructions for each product to ensure long-term use and effectiveness.


6. What are the costs beyond the initial purchase?

While our products are designed for efficiency and durability, here are a few factors to consider:

  • Cold plunges: Electricity costs for chilled models, water filtration costs, and any occasional part replacements.
  • Saunas: Energy consumption varies based on size and frequency of use, with infrared saunas typically being more energy-efficient.
  • Red Light Therapy: Extremely low operating costs—just the electricity to power the unit.

We provide detailed energy usage information on each product page to help you estimate ongoing costs.


7. What type of payment method do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, PayPal, Google Pay, Shop Pay, and Apple Pay.
