Boosts Energy

For a morning jumpstart or an afternoon revitalization, cold plunging is an incredible method to boost your daily energy. The icy water not only rejuvenates but also prompts the release of stress hormones, enhancing alertness.

Boosts injury recovery

The benefits of cold plunging reach far beyond mental and chemical facets, proven in sports medicine where cold water therapy has long been employed to aid in active muscle recovery.

Boost Your Immunity

Immersing in cold water stimulates leukocytes, your body’s infection-fighting white blood cells. Additionally, it prompts the lymphatic system to contract, facilitating fluid movement through the lymph nodes. This detoxifying process strengthens the immune system.

Spikes Dopamine

Cold plunging has demonstrated the capacity to elevate your basal dopamine levels, the neurotransmitter associated with motivation in our brain and body. Elevated dopamine can improve our concentration and reduce the barrier to initiating actions aligned with our objectives.

Accelerates Metabolism

For some time, researchers have recognized the link between plunging and our daily energy levels. There’s substantial evidence indicating that hormonal imbalances can contribute to depression, suggesting that a cold plunge could potentially alleviate depressive symptoms and enhance overall mood.

Decreases Inflammation

The increase in norepinephrine levels through regular cold therapy has been demonstrated to potentially reach up to 5 times your baseline. This neurotransmitter plays a significant role in reducing inflammation and addressing chronic pain.

Reduce Stress

Cold therapy has emerged as an effective supplementary treatment for stress relief, notably by reducing the stress hormone cortisol. Research indicates that consistent use of cold showers and ice baths has contributed to reducing anxiety levels and enhancing the mood of participants.

Sleep Improvement

As you immerse in the Glacier Chill Plunge, your body engages the autonomic nervous system, responsible for managing stress responses. By gaining control over your stress response, you may notice a corresponding improvement in relaxation and sleep quality.

CAUTION: Water Chemistry Maintenance: Adhere to manual instructions for maintaining water chemistry. Improper maintenance can lead to skin irritation or ELEMENT+ Plunge damage.

CRUCIAL HYPOTHERMIA INSIGHTS

Extended exposure to cold water may induce hypothermia, necessitating a balance between warmth and cooling. Hypothermia occurs when our body’s heat loss exceeds heat production, affecting internal temperatures. Four primary heat exchange mechanisms - conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation - regulate body temperature.

When warming mechanisms like shivering fail to counteract cooling, hypothermia manifests. Symptoms progress through stages:

MILD HYPOTHERMIA: Shivering, goosebumps, impaired motor skills.

MODERATE HYPOTHERMIA: Intense shivering, sluggishness, speech difficulties, impaired fine motor skills.

SEVERE HYPOTHERMIA: Muscle rigidity, confusion, cessation of shivering, cyanosis, erratic heartbeat, unconsciousness.

Recognizing these signs is crucial for prompt intervention and prevention of severe consequences.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Water is failing to cool

If your water isn’t cooling, there could be several potential causes. Follow the steps below to troubleshoot and identify the issue.

Things to Keep in Mind:

1. Extension Cord: If you’re using an extension cord, ensure it’s a 12-gauge, heavy-duty outdoor cord no

longer than 25 feet.

2. Clearance: Ensure a minimum clearance of 16 inches on the side housing the component parts. Insufficient airflow can prevent proper cooling and will void your chiller’s warranty.

Flow rate lower than usual

Reduced Water Flow in Your ELEMENT tub? Here’s How to Fix It:

If your plunge is experiencing lower-than-usual water flow, follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve

the issue:

1. Clean the Filter: A dirty filter can significantly reduce water flow, so make sure it’s clean.

2. Perform an Air Gap Removal: Sometimes air can get trapped in the system, causing reduced flow. Releasing trapped air can improve performance.

3. Check for a Frozen Chiller Reservoir: If your plunge is producing very little flow, the chiller reservoir may be partially frozen, restricting water movement. Defrost the chiller if needed.

4. Perform a Deep Clean: Sediment buildup in the hoses can also reduce water flow. We recommend performing a deep clean every 3–4 months.

No Water Flow

To Resolve Your Flow Issue, Follow These Steps:

1. Check Power Supply:

• Ensure your pump is receiving power.

• Verify all power connections.

2. Test a Different Outlet:

• Unplug the pump from the power strip and plug it into a separate outlet, which can be the same one used by the Plunge.

3. Perform a Deep Clean:

• Sediment buildup in the hoses can cause blockages. We recommend a deep clean every 3–4 months.

If your Plunge has minimal or no flow, the chiller reservoir might be frozen.

Defrosting your chiller

If you’re experiencing reduced or no water flow, it could be due to water freezing in the chiller. This issue can occur if the chiller is still running in freezing conditions or if it’s cold outside.

To address a potentially frozen chiller, follow these steps:

1. Drain Your Plunge:

• Completely empty your ELEMENT+ Plunge.

2. Bring Components Indoors:

• Move your chiller inside to a warmer environment.

3. Wait and Check:

• After 4 hours, check if the chiller has defrosted.

NOTE: It may take 24–48 hours for the chiller to fully defrost.

4. Check Flow:

• Refill your ELEMENT+ Plunge and verify if the flow issue has been resolved.

Power issue with my element+

Important: If your Plunge is not receiving power, follow these steps to troubleshoot:

1. Check Extension Cord:

• Ensure your Plunge is connected to a 12-gauge heavy-duty outdoor extension cord. Using a cord with a lower rating can cause power issues.

2. Inspect the Power Strip:

• Verify that the breaker switch on the power strip inside the electrical box is in the “on” position.

3. Examine the GFCI Outlet:

• Check the GFCI outlet where the ELEMENT Plunge is plugged in to ensure it hasn’t tripped. Reset if necessary.

4. Verify House Breaker:

• Confirm that the house breaker for the ELEMENT Plunge hasn’t tripped. Reset it if needed.

5. Test a Different Outlet:

• Plug the ELEMENT Plunge power cord into a different outlet to see if power is restored.

6. Test Components Individually:

Disconnect each component and test them by plugging them into an outlet individually.
