Chilly GOAT FAQ

A Chilly GOAT Cold Tub is a fully insulated, self-cooling immersion tub designed for cold-water therapy, muscle recovery, and overall wellness. Unlike ice baths or low-end plunges, it uses a high-performance cooling system to maintain precise temperatures as low as 40°F — no ice required. Every model is backed by MasterSpas, ensuring unmatched durability and craftsmanship.

Sweaty GOAT saunas are premium infrared heat-therapy systems designed for deep relaxation, improved circulation, enhanced recovery, and contrast-therapy integration with Chilly GOAT cold tubs. They deliver high, consistent heat with excellent insulation and craftsmanship.

Valaris is Chilly GOAT’s signature dual-zone hot-and-cold unit. It features separate hot and cold bodies of water (40°F to 104°F), allowing you to move between temperatures seamlessly for full contrast therapy in one unit.

Yes — Chilly GOAT offers both cold tubs and saunas, engineered to work together for contrast therapy. The Valaris Contrast Therapy Tub provides both hot and cold zones in a single unit for an all-in-one recovery system.

The Alpine and Valaris models include a premium residential warranty from MasterSpas:

• 2 years on shell, equipment, and plumbing.
• 1 year on lighting, UV system, and floor pad. This provides exceptional protection and long-term peace of mind.

The Alpine and Valaris models include built-in 2.1 HP chillers — the most powerful in the consumer cold tub category — plus Wi-Fi–enabled temperature control through the SmartLife App and convenient topside controls.

Cold immersion can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, enhance resilience, relieve muscle soreness, and support mental clarity. Many users experience improved mood, faster recovery, and better sleep.

Sauna use promotes relaxation, improves circulation, supports detoxification, reduces stress, and helps relieve aches and stiffness. It pairs perfectly with cold immersion to boost recovery.

Contrast therapy alternates between cold and heat exposure, which can:

• Improve circulation
• Reduce inflammation
• Speed up recovery
• Relax muscles
• Trigger deeper sleep

Using a Valaris Contrast Tub, or a cold tub + sauna combo, makes this process seamless.

Yes — the Valaris Contrast Therapy Tub features separate hot and cold bodies of water, allowing temperatures from 40°F to 104°F for full-spectrum wellness.

The most complete setup is a Chilly GOAT Cold Tub + Sweaty GOAT Sauna, or the Valaris dual-zone unit. This combination supports faster recovery, improved circulation, better stress relief, and enhanced performance.

Most users stay in 5–15 minutes depending on tolerance and goals:

• 5–10 minutes for post-workout recovery
• Up to 15 minutes for chronic inflammation or stress relief. (Start slowly and consult your physician if you have health concerns.)

Chilly GOAT tubs are fully insulated and built for year-round use:

• Perform well in both warm and cold environments
• Require precautions in freezing temperatures
• Benefit from shade or indoor placement during extreme heat (100–110°F+)

The SmartLife App lets you monitor temperature in real time.

The Chilly GOAT Cold Tub features a high-performance 2.1 HP chiller — the most powerful available — providing precise cooling with no ice needed.

Yes — Chilly GOAT tubs are engineered for athletes, high-volume use, and minimal upkeep. With durable construction, efficient cooling, and built-in filtration, they remain extremely reliable and easy to maintain.

Chilly GOAT tubs range from 40°F to 104°F with powerful built-in cooling and heating to ensure stable, consistent temperatures all year.

40°F to 104°F for Alpine and Valaris models — ideal for cold plunging, hot immersion, or contrast therapy.

Most models run on a standard 120V / 15-amp GFCI outlet. The Valaris contrast therapy tub requires a 240V/50-amp GFCI connection. Check the installation guide for model-specific details.

Yes, with proper precautions:

• Below freezing: protect plumbing/components by draining all water from the tub and plumbing lines, disconnecting and storing hoses, and insulating or covering exposed components so no water can freeze and cause damage.
• Extreme heat: monitor water temperature; shade is recommended
• Always place on a flat, supportive surface

Chilly GOAT tubs feature deep, ergonomic interiors that comfortably fit users of all sizes — including elite athletes like Michael Phelps.

The Alpine and Valaris models are ideal for full-body immersion and daily therapy. Choose based on available space, desired temperature range, and whether you want contrast therapy in one unit.

Choose a flat, level surface that supports the weight of the tub when filled. Ensure access to a proper electrical outlet and enough clearance for servicing.

Yes. Chilly GOAT tubs are built for indoor and outdoor use. For extreme heat or cold, additional precautions will help maintain performance and protect components.

Most tubs arrive fully assembled. The basic steps are:

1. Move into place
2. Allow the chiller to rest 24 hours
3. Fill with water
4. Plug into a 120V/15A GFCI
5. Set your desired temperature

A dedicated 15-amp GFCI outlet is recommended for optimal performance.

Chilly GOAT cold tubs excel here — arriving pre-assembled and requiring only a standard outlet for plug-and-play operation.

Cold water reduces bacterial growth naturally. Chilly GOAT tubs include a high-efficiency filtration system + UV purification for minimal-effort maintenance.

Replace the filter as needed based on usage volume, environment, and water quality.

Some chemical balancing is recommended by adding a small amount of Sanitizer (as little as ½ teaspoon) for optimal water clarity, depending on usage and climate. 

Use the built-in filtration and UV system, replace filters when needed, and balance water chemistry as appropriate.

• Freezing temps: protect plumbing by draining all water from the tub and plumbing lines, disconnecting and storing hoses, and insulating or covering exposed components so no water can freeze and cause damage.
• 100°F heat: monitor the SmartLife App and consider shaded placement

Consult your physician if you have cardiovascular or medical concerns. Start slowly with a higher temperature and work your way down, use controlled breathing, and exit immediately if you feel dizzy, numb, or short of breath.

Cold therapy is beneficial for many people, but those with heart conditions, circulation issues, or certain medical diagnoses should get medical clearance.

• 2 years: shell, equipment, plumbing
• 1 year: UV, lighting, pads backed directly by MasterSpas.
