The Polar Dive MAX is a long, oval inflatable cold plunge tub sold with the brand's standard chiller, which has an external pump and 20 micron filter and no app. The tub measures 59 by 30 by 25 inches and weighs 15 lb empty.
The store prints 140 gallons on both of its spec blocks, but gives 530 L in one and 500 L, about 132 gallons, in the other. The standard chiller is rated to 41°F on the chiller selector, while the brand's chiller text gives 39°F, 1/3 HP and 350 W of cooling.
The chiller measures 12 by 12 by 13 inches, weighs 40 lb and runs from a standard 110 to 120 V outlet, and the brand recommends a dedicated outlet. The box holds the insulated tub, an insulated cover lid, a carry bag, a hand pump, a drainage hose and the chiller.
With the app-controlled Pro chiller, rated to 39°F, the set is $1,099.00; the tub alone is $599.00 and the chiller alone $499.00. These are the prices the store charges every day.
