LOTI is focused on helping people feel better and improve overall well-being. All our products are tried and tested to ensure that you are purchasing a product that meets the highest quality standards, thus providing the perfect ice bath immersion experience. Each product is fully covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
LOTI was developed based on the thermal insulation of professional refrigeration equipment, something hardly achieved by traditional ice immersion bathtubs. This fact, in itself, does not require additional use of Chillers to cool the water temperature, helping to maintain the water temperature at lower levels until the next use.
Using LOTI is an effective way to create exposure to cold water in a controlled and safe environment.
By expressing interest in purchasing LOTI on a pre-order basis, you are making an early purchase of the product scheduled for production (pre-series) preceding the launch phase to the general public.
Purchasing a pre-order is an excellent way to guarantee early access to the initial price of LOTI, ensuring that your LOTI will be scheduled in the first productions.
One of the key elements that prevents thermal losses, maintains required temperatures, and reduces energy consumption of appliances is its thermal insulation. Thickness and composition are essential to achieving these goals. LOTI was developed based on the thermal insulation provided by our expertise in the manufacture of professional refrigeration equipment, something hardly achievable or imitable by traditional ice immersion bathtubs. To this end, we collaborate with the world’s largest producer of chemicals in developing insulation foams, with high knowledge in chemical engineering, testing new formulas, and innovative technologies.
The development of LOTI is evolutionarily based on TENSAI INDÚSTRIA professional refrigeration equipment. Undergoing a process of reengineering and design, this equipment acquired new functionalities. Evolution in ergonomics brings additional comfort to the user, and better space and volumetric optimization compared to traditional DIY projects.
The best feature is that LOTI is suitable for all climates and can be used both indoors and outdoors. This offers more options in terms of space requirements if you don’t have enough dedicated space inside your home to install LOTI. You won’t have space restrictions to move LOTI between the doors of your home.
LOTI dimensions are as follows: 940 x 1823 x 735 (height x width x depth).
Yes, this has been a major concern for our project from the beginning. The electrical and refrigeration system was designed and built by specialized engineers. In addition, we rely on external entities to certify this product. This means that the equipment is tested by accredited laboratories and complies with CE marking.
This equipment has an IPX4 protection index, which means it is protected against water splashes.
LOTI is connected to a standard 220V~ socket and uses 10 amps.
The amount of energy LOTI consumes depends on various factors such as ambient temperature, desired water temperature, frequency of use, and operating time. However, LOTI was designed to be extremely efficient in maintaining low temperatures. This, combined with the equipment’s advanced insulation, results in less thermal losses and greater energy efficiency.
The energy consumption is approximately 1.41 kWh per day, based on water stabilized at 4ºC.
The proven main benefits of ice immersion baths are:
LOTI shipments to Mainland Portugal are free, while for other locations, the shipping cost is added.
Shipping costs are automatically calculated according to the destination zone.
You should carefully read the equipment manual to ensure that you follow all safety instructions during product installation. After securely installing the equipment, simply fill LOTI with water using a hose and connect it to the power source. To drain the water, use a submersible valve connected to the same hose.
LOTI is designed for use in both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, there are some important recommendations to preserve your equipment: If installed outdoors, IT MUST BE PLACED IN THE SHADE! Direct exposure to sunlight can damage all products, surfaces, and materials.
Very simple! Just use a hose, bucket, or container and add water at room temperature. Once it’s filled to about 70% of its total volume, it’s ready to enjoy your first cold bath experience in LOTI.
LOTI is insulated at the bottom and sides, meaning it will maintain the water temperature longer than expected!
Cold therapy and ice baths in general are considered safe, but they can negatively affect individuals with cardiovascular issues. If you have any underlying health conditions, it is advisable to consult your doctor before engaging in cold water immersion baths.
Exposure to cold should never be done alone and should occur in a controlled environment, with the ability to safely exit the cold environment. Prolonged exposure to cold can lead to hypothermia, shock, unconsciousness, and other cold-related illnesses, so it’s important to facilitate your cold immersion routine and start with someone experienced.
If you understand your limits and engage in cold immersion or cold exposure therapy in a controlled, timed, and measured manner, the body is more than capable of tolerating and benefiting from exposure to cold water.
Depending on environmental conditions and the initial water temperature, LOTI has the ability to cool down by at least 1ºC per hour upon first start-up. LOTI does not need to be turned off after use, as the device operates stably at this temperature 24 hours a day,7 days a week, making cold bathing convenient anytime. To avoid new startups, it is advisable not to turn off the equipment between recurrent uses, thus achieving greater energy and thermal efficiency of the device.
We believe that regular practice has more benefits. According to studies, ideally, between 3 to 5 times a week can have a beneficial impact on your health.
LOTI uses a digital controller and strategically positioned temperature measuring probes for more precise water temperature readings. Generally, some thermal stratification occurs, where the water at the surface will be warmer than the water at the bottom.
Depending on environmental conditions and the initial water temperature, LOTI has the ability to cool down by at least 1ºC per hour upon first start-up. This allows the device to operate stably at this temperature 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, making cold bathing convenient anytime. To avoid new startups, it is advisable not to turn off the equipment between recurrent uses, thus achieving greater energy and thermal efficiency of the device.
With LOTI, it is not necessary to add ice cubes. However, the culture associated with this method of cold water immersion often involves the use of ice cubes to lower the temperature. LOTI can easily achieve the desired temperature levels without the need for ice cubes. The option to add ice inside the equipment is completely optional.
LOTI is designed for use in both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, there are some important recommendations to preserve your equipment: If installed outdoors, IT MUST BE PLACED IN THE SHADE! Direct exposure to sunlight can damage all products, surfaces, and materials. By positioning LOTI in the shade and following the recommended maintenance schedule, your warranty will be valid. However, if you expose LOTI to direct sunlight or rain, the warranty will not apply.
You can add the Protective Cover (a cover similar to car covers) to your purchase as an extra, which should be used whenever LOTI is turned off, providing additional protection against external elements.
Unlike those who opt for unsupervised DIY solutions of freezers, it is not necessary to turn off the LOTI unit - in fact, it is vital to leave it on to ensure that it remains always grounded, providing continuous safety.
We ask that you connect the unit at least 2 meters away from the bathtub, as a precaution in case of water splashes on the socket, which could damage the domestic electrical system. The equipment comes factory-equipped with a 5-meter power cable to ensure safe installation.
LOTI uses filters to keep the water crystal clear without the need for aggressive chemicals like chlorine.
You should clean the inlet filter in the same way you clean the lint filter of a clothes dryer. This filter will collect lint from towels and clothes, hair, and other debris.
LOTI’s filters keep the water clean for months between changes. We recommend replacing the filter cartridge every 12 to 14 weeks, depending on usage.
LOTI uses an automatic disinfection system without the need for chemicals! After filtration, the water passes through a highly efficient UV Disinfection system, which eliminates impurities and microorganisms present in the water, such as bacteria, viruses, algae, and other pathogens. This system allows for effective water treatment, preserving health and the environment, resulting in cleaner and safer water for users.
Depending on usage frequency, only 2-3 water changes per year are recommended.
LOTI is designed with a simple and fast drainage system to allow water replacement whenever necessary. Furthermore, with proper maintenance, water can last up to 3 to 4 months without needing to be changed (depending on the level of usage and the number of different users).
This drainage system can be connected directly to your common garden hose, allowing you to use LOTI’s pump to discharge water into a household or outdoor drain. Alternatively, you can use the water for gardening, thus promoting a more responsible use of this resource.
LOTI only needs to change the water in case of unexpected contamination; however, it is advisable to change it every 3 to 4 months.
LOTI offers a minimum 2-year warranty, which includes the replacement of parts with manufacturing defects and covers defects or malfunctions that occur during normal conditions of use. However, the warranty does not cover damages resulting from the addition of chemicals to the water, violation of the installation conditions indicated in the equipment manual, negligence in maintenance and filter replacement, power failure, lack of attention to low water flow, or any other form of negligence, misuse, or abuse.
Additionally, certain other exclusions apply, as described in the limited warranty. This limited warranty is only valid for defects discovered within the applicable warranty period and while LOTI is in the possession of the original buyer (or original owner if acquired as a gift).
All parts covered by this warranty have a minimum 2-year warranty from the delivery date, except for the insulated top cover, which has a 1-year warranty.
*Professional use covers the same aforementioned conditions with a minimum 1-year warranty.
