For cooling water, you need to supplement with other equipment such as a machine/cooler, read more about these products here.

Taking ice baths has several health benefits. They help reduce muscle inflammation and soreness after intense exercise, speeding up recovery. In addition, ice baths improve circulation by causing blood vessels to contract and then expand, reducing swelling.
Exposure to the cold can also strengthen mental endurance and resilience, which is beneficial for athletes and others alike. Finally, regular ice baths can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body to relax and reduce stress levels.
How often you should take ice baths and how cold the water should be can vary depending on individual goals and tolerance. In general, it is recommended to take ice baths at least 2-3 times a week to reap the health benefits without overloading the body.
The water temperature should be between 10-15 degrees to be effective yet safe. Each session can last between 5-15 minutes, but it is important to listen to your body's signals and avoid discomfort or injury.
ISBAD PRO is available in several different designs. You first choose a barrel that suits you, available in several sizes: ISBAD PRO 170, ISBAD PRO 150 and ISBAD PRO 135. Then you choose the appropriate machine to filter and cool the water in the barrel.

You don't need ice, for most people the cold water you get from the tap is enough, which can be as low as 4 degrees in winter and somewhere between 10 and 15 degrees in summer in Sweden. If you want it colder than that, you can add some ice or cold packs. Alternatively, you can invest in a cooler to keep your water cold and clean, read more here.
Always consult your doctor before using an ice bath if you have any health problems!
DO NOT USE if you are pregnant, have heart disease or high blood pressure, have diabetes, complications such as neuropathy or retinal damage, have a pacemaker, have had frostbite, have an open wound, have had recent surgery, have epilepsy or any other health problems or risks.
Ice bathing can dramatically lower your core body temperature. The immersion in cold water causes blood vessels to constrict and reduces blood flow around the body, which combined with health complications can cause your blood pressure to rise and increase your risk of cardiac arrest or stroke.
SIDE EFFECTS
The most noticeable side effect of an ice bath is feeling intense cold, but other side effects of staying in an ice bath for too long include: hypothermia, frostbite, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock.
RECOMMENDATION
Despite the potential side effects and warnings, using an ice bath correctly actually has many health benefits! We always recommend that you start by spending a maximum of a few minutes in the ice bath and gradually increase the time to the recommended level. Never push your body beyond its limits.
