Company

BlueCube Wellness LLC of Redmond, Oregon, founded in 2019, builds cold plunge tubs from a 33-inch upright aluminum tub to a 72-inch stainless sit-in tub.

Where it sells

It sells them in the US through its own store at bluecubebaths.com and ships each tub curbside in the lower 48 states.
No BlueCube store or listing was found on Amazon US in November 2026.

Description

The BlueCube Drop is an upright stand-in cold plunge with a welded 5052 aluminum tank, about 33 by 33 by 43 inches, and its chiller, pump and filter housed in a separate entry staircase. The brand rates it from 41°F to 104°F with a heater as well as a chiller, and its FAQ gives the D-line tubs 180 gallons.

BlueCube does not publish the Drop chiller capacity on its current pages; an older catalog page for the earlier D1 printed 13,600 BTU/hr, while the cost page says that chiller arrives with the C-line.

One ¼ HP Iwaki magnetic-drive pump circulates the water through a 20 micron filter with automatic ozone, and a Balboa topside panel sets the temperature. It needs a dedicated 120 V 20 A circuit and ships with a GFCI plug, an insulated spa cover, three months of filters and six months of cleaning supplies.

Black, white, grey, red and blue cost the same; a custom colour costs $14,250.00 in total. The store also sells a $3,000.00 tub material upgrade, $2,000.00 reverse plumbing and other add-ons as separate listings.
