The Renu Therapy Aurelius is a laydown hot and cold plunge tub with a 1/2 HP chiller and heater built in, in Meterous Black with a composite Brazilian Walnut deck. Renu rates it from 37°F to 104°F, and it holds 115 gallons in a 62½ by 26¾ by 26 inch tank inside a 70 by 35 by 30 inch body.

An LCD touchscreen and a Wi-Fi app control and schedule it, an in-tub filter and an XL 50-micron filter work with ozone, and a drain pump empties it. It plugs into a standard 120 V outlet through a GFCI plug and comes with an insulated all-weather cover with child locks.

It weighs about 325 lb dry; the tub carries five years and the chiller one year, and an extended chiller warranty to five years costs $499.99.
