The Empava Hot/Cold Plunge Tub is the first and only residential unit to offer simultaneous hot and cold contrast therapy in a single plug-and-play design — no commercial plumbing, no outdoor installation required. Designed for indoor use and sized for at-home accessibility, it brings the full-body wellness benefits of hydrotherapy into the home: accelerated muscle recovery, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced overall well-being.
Where most plunge products on the market offer only a single cold basin, Empava’s innovative dual-zone approach delivers two fully independent basins with precise temperature control — a 113°F hot soak on one side and a 37°F cold plunge on the other — allowing users to alternate in quick succession without waiting for temperature resets or switching tubs.
Each side of the tub is crafted for comfort, featuring a 44.6-inch basin length and 15-inch depth, designed for full-body submersion. Twenty-two powerful massage jets are strategically placed to target key muscle groups, further promoting recovery and physical restoration. This makes the unit especially appealing for athletes, active adults, or anyone seeking relief from chronic pain, soreness, or stress.
Built for both performance and aesthetics, the tub’s sleek, architectural silhouette integrates clean lines, ergonomic contours, and a high-gloss acrylic shell that complements modern interiors.
All mechanical components — including the filtration and sanitation systems — are hidden for a seamless look, while an intuitive digital control panel provides quick adjustments for temperature and jet power.
The Empava Hot/Cold Plunge Tub debuted at the 2025 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) as a Best of KBIS Finalist (and winner of the prestigious Wellness Trailblazer Silver award) and DesignBites presenter, earning industry attention for its category-defining design. Judges praised the unit’s spa-level capabilities, noting its residential accessibility and unique combination of features as a standout in the wellness space.
With this product, Empava expands its footprint into wellness design, giving consumers access to therapeutic technology once limited to elite gyms, spas, and professional recovery facilities.
In a world where health and self-care have become essential priorities, the Empava Hot/Cold Plunge Tub empowers individuals to invest in their own well-being — bringing contrast therapy home in a beautiful, functional, and truly first-of-its-kind form.
