Experience ultimate relaxation

At Wave, our vision is to be the most trusted name in portable hot tubs. That's why we are proud to be the UK's highest-rated hot tub brand on Trustpilot.

The Wave Luxe Baltic is a purpose-built ice bath, not a hot tub running cold. An aluminium frame in black wood effect houses a 6cm insulating foam wall, which is what lets an external chiller hold a genuinely low temperature without running constantly.

Inside is a single moulded bench seat and 70cm of depth — enough to submerge properly rather than perch. The Wave-embossed liner and ABS top rim are built for daily use.

Finished in a Black Wood effect.

What is included with my ice bath?

Your Baltic comes complete with the aluminium frame, wood-effect panels, liner, cover and external chiller, plus the fittings you need to get set up. Full details are in the instruction manual supplied.

How long is the warranty on my ice bath?

The Luxe Baltic offers a 2-year warranty for the chiller and a 12-month warranty on the liner

How do I keep the water clean?

Cold water still needs treating to stay clean and safe. Our Chemical Starter Kit contains the essentials, and the supplied cover keeps debris out between sessions.

Can I use it all year round?

Yes. The Baltic is built to live outdoors year round. The insulated foam wall works in both directions, so the chiller holds temperature through summer without running constantly, and the frame and panels are made for daily outdoor use.

Does it plug into a normal socket?

Plug it into a weatherproof outdoor socket with RCD protection, and never use an extension lead. Power supply: [TBC: confirm 13 A plug]. Cable length: [TBC].

What base do I need, and how heavy is it when full?

Set it on a flat, level, solid surface such as patio slabs, concrete or decking rated for the weight. Avoid soft lawn. Filled weight: [TBC] for each size, before anyone gets in.

Do I need planning permission?

A portable hot tub on a patio or lawn doesn't usually need planning permission. Raised decking over 30 cm, a listed building or a conservation area can change that, so check with your local council if any apply.

How noisy is it?

The bubble blower is the loudest part. Measured noise: [TBC] dB on low and [TBC] dB on high.

How much looking after does it need?

A few minutes a few times a week: test and balance the water, rinse the filter, and keep the lid on between soaks. Replace filters every [TBC] and change the water every [TBC].
