Cold water therapy sounds great, doesn't it? Except for the part where you fill a tub with cold water and ice right? Lucky for you there's an easy solution for that with the Water TechniX Paradise Inverter heat pump.

While the Water TechniX Paradise Inverter heat pump is known for its industry-leading energy pool heating efficiency, what many people don't know is that it also comes with a cooling function! That's right, the Water TechniX Paradise can cool your pool water down to a chilly 8 degrees. The recommended temperature for cold water immersion is around 10C to 15C, which makes the Paradise more than capable of chilling your spa down to the required temperature.

What's even better is that you can precisely set the temperature to the desired level on the control panel and you'll rest assured that when the time comes, you can have your cold water plunge whenever you feel like it!

One of the things that many people find to be tiring about cold water therapy is getting the water down to the right temperature. Think lugging around enough ice to cool down a tub of water. That means purchasing bags and bags of ice, driving home, getting water (melted ice) all over your floors and your car, and cooling your tub of water down for single use, because let's face it ice really doesn't last that long under the Australian sun!

On the other hand, press a few buttons on your Water TechniX paradise heat pump to set the temperature and schedule, and then you're done!

Now, people will say that heaters and heat pumps only get used for half a year when the weather gets too cold to use the pool comfortably. But with the cooling function of the Water TechniX Paradise heat pump, you can actually bring down and keep the water temperature cool and refreshing! That's right, nothing worse than wanting to cool off on a really hot summer day and then jumping into a warm, muggy, and unrefreshing pool.

With the Water TechniX Paradise heat pump, you can have a truly Goldilocks pool! Not too hot, not too cold (unless you want it to), but a pool that is refreshing and just right the whole year round!

The benefits of cold water therapy are numerous. If you are suffering from pain, inflammation, or muscle spasms, cryotherapy may be able to help.
