Things to know before purchasing an ice bath system
In the recent period, unfortunately several ice bath tub and cooling unit type products of uncontrolled quality appeared on the European market, so we would like to draw the attention to the possible risks they may possess. Read the article and make a thoughtful decision if you are considering purchasing an ice bath system!
Encouraged by the success of iCoolsport, which has been stable for 20 years and is constantly developing, start-up companies are trying to break into the market. Although they understandably see a great opportunity in the field of the increasingly popular cold therapy, in reality they can cause a lot of problems for customers due to their lack of preparation and quality control.
Various business statistics show that 4 out of 5 of these companies go bankrupt within 2 years, so it is not possible to guarantee repairs and replacements when needed. These companies often only sell 1-2 products, in the vast majority of cases they do not even come close to the expected level. These are anonymous products of not reliable quality, which the manufacturer puts a logo on according to the wishes of the distributor, so that it looks like it’s their own product. Therefore, we warn everyone against getting their ice tub or cooling unit from such places, because such a decision can have many disadvantages in the long run.
Suspiciously cheap inflatable ice tubs are weak imitations of those manufactured by iCoolsport, which have already proven themselves in many world competitions. In many cases, the cooling units of the mentioned manufacturers are not designed for this purpose, they are more like an aquarium or beverage cooler, and their performance is far below the cooling units of iCoolsport. Most of them have a cooling power of less than 1000 watts, while in the case of the iCoolsport, even the smallest model boasts five times that, 5000 watts. So it is not daring to say that these anonymously rolled off the production line and then branded as desired products are far behind what iCoolsport offers in terms of both technology and efficiency.
Of particular concern is the fact that such “ice bath” companies often deceive customers, because in addition to often exaggerating on their website, many of them are not even licensed by NPHMOS (The National Public Health and Medical Officer Service). Regarding the lifespan of the products, it is also worrisome that the distributors cannot provide a service background, and their only response to product defects is to point the customer to an aquaristic company, where they might be able to help.
Naturally, iCoolsport’s parent company takes decisive action against the operators of these websites. Customer deception exhausts certain elements of PTK (Civil Code) and BTK (Criminal Code), and iCoolsport is not afraid to stand up for the interests of customers, because a regeneration product without NPHMOS (The National Public Health and Medical Officer Service) permits can even have harmful effects towards someone’s health.
The name of the iCoolsport brand is now synonymous with ice baths, cold therapy, home regeneration and supporting the performance of elite athletes. As competitors know exactly who they can trust, iCoolsport has been the official supplier of the world’s most important sporting events for almost 20 years, so it is possible that you have already come across the name in sports broadcasts. Team pools and special high-performance cooling units of the Turbo and Team Recovery series can be found in hundreds of stadiums and sports clubs, and more than 10,000 of the widely known and liked Compact cooling units are already helping the regeneration of our customers in every part of the world.
We are proud of the fact that our company, founded in 2010 – as the official distributor of iCoolsport – has a very large product range in the sector and even has a European service background.
All iCoolsport products of our company have an official NPHMOS (The National Public Health and Medical Officer Service) license, so it can be verified what and to what extent can possibly dissolve from the ice tubs. Since we work with electricity and water, it is also essential, but worth highlighting, that all iCoolsport cooling and cooling-heating units have CE certification and an MSDS (Materials Safety Data Sheet) material safety certificate. Of course, these products have received permits and certificates without any problems so far, which can help anyone to be convinced that iCoolsport’s products can really serve people’s healthy regeneration. Let us remind you again not to buy from companies that cannot provide the listed certificates.
