Question 1

What is included with my Rhone purchase?

Accepted Answer

Rhone comes with: An insulated lid; Two built-in water chiller ports (3/4" BSPT female thread); Matching thread caps for both ports. Accessories like a water chiller (with built-in cooling, filtration, and ozone purification), hoses, and filters are sold separately — or included in the Rhone & Chiller Bundle.

Question 2

Where can I install Rhone — indoors and outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Rhone is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It's built with durable, UV-resistant materials to withstand sun, rain, and seasonal changes. We recommend placing it in a shaded or covered area when possible. This helps reduce dirt accumulation, supports consistent insulation performance, and avoids large temperature swings. While the lid is UV-resistant, extended sun exposure may temporarily cause slight flexing due to high heat — this naturally returns to normal as the material cools.

Question 3

What are the dimensions and weight of the Rhone (empty/full)?

Accepted Answer

117 x 78 x 80cm (L x W x H), with lid. 117 x 78 x 75cm (L x W x H), without lid. Weight: 37kg empty, ~267 kg when filled with water at a typical fill level of 230L.

Question 4

What hose or chiller connections are supported?

Accepted Answer

Rhone features two female 3/4" (19mm) BSPT (tapered/Rc) ports, compliant with ISO 7-1 standards. We recommend using exclusively male 3/4" (19mm) BSPT (tapered/R) fittings for best compatibility. Please note: While we design and test our products for optimal performance and durability, we do not test third-party chillers, pumps, or accessories. As such, we cannot guarantee safety or results when using non-Theralpine components. Always install and secure all fittings carefully to avoid leaks or damage.

Question 5

How cold should the water be?

Accepted Answer

There's no magic number. The key is that it feels uncomfortably cold. That's when the real benefits begin. Most people start between 10–15°C, but it all depends on personal tolerance and gradual adaptation. You don't need extreme temperatures to see results. If you are someone who thrives on progress and seeks new challenges, consider adding our water chiller for the ultimate cold plunge experience and precise temperature control.

Question 6

How long should I stay in the ice bath?

Accepted Answer

For healthy beginners, we recommend starting with at least 90 seconds. Focus on controlling your breathing and resisting the urge to get out early. As your tolerance builds, sessions of 3–5 minutes are common. Always consult a physician if unsure.

Question 7

Do I need ice or a chiller?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need ice to take an "ice bath." In fact, water chillers often cool the water more effectively than adding ice to tap water. Whether there's ice floating or not says little about the actual temperature. Ultimately, the premium setup is a well-insulated tub like the Theralpine Rhone paired with our high quality Chiller Pro. It gives you full control over water temperature, keeps your water clean longer, and helps you level up when you're ready. That said, you can still get excellent results using Rhone with just cold tap water, adjusting the temperature to your preference with added ice. Thanks to its industry-leading insulation, it keeps water cold for multiple days, even without a chiller.

Question 8

How often should water be changed or filtered?

Accepted Answer

No chiller, no water treatment: If you're not using a chiller or any form of treatment, we recommend changing the water every 2–4 days, depending on use and environmental factors.

No chiller, with water treatment: With basic chemical treatment (e.g. small amounts of chlorine or hydrogen peroxide) and no chiller, you can typically extend water use beyond 7 days.

With chiller (filtration + ozone purification): When using the Theralpine Chiller Pro with integrated filtration and ozone purification, water can typically stay clean for up to 4 weeks or more with regular use. We recommend running the filtration system for at least 2–3h per day to maintain optimal water quality.

Question 9

How does Rhone support safe entry and exit?

Accepted Answer

Rhone is designed with safety and accessibility in mind. Its ground-level entry eliminates the need to climb up or balance on steps, which represents a common risk with many other tubs. Inside, a textured anti-slip floor provides secure footing, even when wet. Unlike many cold plunge products that include elevated bases or slippery internal steps, Rhone prioritizes real-world usability and minimizes the risk of slipping or falling.

Question 10

Is it safe to place the Rhone on a balcony or terrace?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Rhone was purposefully designed with this use case in mind. Its compact footprint and optimized weight distribution help minimize load per square meter. However, since every structure is different, we cannot guarantee compatibility with your specific space. We recommend consulting your building management or a structural engineer to ensure your balcony or terrace can safely support the filled weight (approx. 267 kg at typical water level).
