Cold Tanks

Cold therapy can be an important part of recovery. Cold is thought to create a muscle-guarding effect that constricts damaged tissue and prevents further damage; it can also result in vasoconstriction, narrowing blood vessels and reducing swelling.

Whirlpools vs. Cold Tubs

Whirlpools and cold tubs both provide hydrotherapy.

Whitehall® whirlpools can function as both whirlpool therapy tubs and cold tanks by removing the turbine assembly and thermometer when cold therapy is required. The turbine assembly and thermometer can be replaced to covert the tank back to warm-water whirlpool use.

Dedicated cold tanks are designed for cold therapy only and cannot be converted to whirlpools. Cold therapy maintains an array of therapeutic benefits when treating acute injuries such as muscle strain and hyperextension. 

Ice Tank Configurations

While most larger Whitehall® whirlpools can be converted into ice tubs by removing the turbine assembly, cold-therapy-only tanks are preferred in some cases. Below are Whitehall cold tanks available in Mobile, Stationary and Stationary with Legs configurations.
