Chiller Compatible Design

With chillers becoming more frequently used, efficient cooling is essential - not just for performance but for reducing electricity costs. The HydroBarrel 350 has improved chiller capability including - two lower 25mm brass outlets and one 25mm upper inlet, supporting chillers with hoses up to 25mm internal diameter, giving you maximum flexibility.

Included with the HydroBarrel is 1 x Tap with quick-release hose pipe connector, 2 x plugs and 1.5m of hose and quick-release connector. Use the HydroBarrel with or without a chiller, depending on your preference.

Thanks to its smart design, the HydroBarrel also uses less water compared to traditional ice bath setups, making it a more sustainable choice for daily use.

Material & Warranty

Crafted from UV-resistant LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene), the HydroBarrel is built to last. This non-toxic, BPA-free, medical-grade material has a proven lifespan of over 25 years, which is why we confidently back every HydroBarrel with a 5-year warranty.

LLDPE also features high resistance to chlorine and has a non-porous surface that resists the absorption of oils, toxins, and contaminants - making it the ideal material for cold plunging.

Upgrade with the HydroBarrel Step

Improve accessibility with a matching wood-effect step (sold separately):

  • Full Moon: Height 28cm | Diameter 58cm
  • Half Moon: Height 22cm | Width 62cm | Depth 27cm

He is able to get in and out of the HydroBarrel 240 without using a step, which works well for an inside leg measurement of approxmately 80cm. If your inside leg measurement is less than 80cm, you may want to consider using a step.

When in the HydroBarrel 240 he is in a squat position, and his shoulders are fully submerged below the rim.

    Everything I wanted

    Posted by Heather G on 18th Apr 2025

    I needed a replacement for my inflatable cold pod and was looking for something more substantial. I wasn’t keen on a wooden barrel so I kept looking and stumbled across the Hydrobarrel. I’m so glad I did. I debated it for a couple of weeks as it’s not cheap, but I decided it would be worth the money. I bought the 240 size which is plenty big enough for me. It arrived quickly, dispatch and delivery communication was very good. I got the full moon step too. On unpacking the boxes, I was immediately impressed by the quality of the barrel and the step. It’s actually a smaller footprint than my previous pod which works better for the space it occupies in the garden. My first dip was amazing- the step makes it very easy to get in, I don’t need a step inside (and I’m only 5ft3). It’s so comfortable to sit in and rest against the side. No faffing, just lid off and get in. Emptying and cleaning is simple- I’ve bought a longer hose so I can empty straight down a drain. I connected it up and left it to drain, literally couldn’t be easier. I don’t normally write reviews (although I always read them before I buy) but I am so impressed with my Hydrobarrel. It’s built to last and worth every penny. I have already recommended it to a friend who is also looking to upgrade her cold dip.

    Amazing cold plunge

    Posted by Neil C on 2nd Apr 2025

    Bought around September time had an inflatable tub originally to see if I could actually do a cold plunge and after getting on OK with that I couldn't wait to upgrade. Originally was looking at an old whiskey barrel but after reading how difficult it was to keep water clean I opted for the medium hydrobarrel being only 5'5. Its absolutely perfect and a real bargain when you look at the price of the inlatable tubs. Customer service from Dan was spot on. Can't rate highly enough

    Hydro barrel

    Posted by Rebecca on 7th Mar 2025

    Superb ice bath barrel. Lid stays securely in place no debris or critters invading it. I bought the smaller barrel I’m 5ft 8” and fit comfortably in it, water covers shoulders at 3/4 full. Also looks lovely in the garden Highly recommend great product and helpful service.
