Usage & Safety Notes
Maintenance, Cleaning & Storage
- Before using your LUMI Recovery Pod™ for the first time, please wash with warm soapy water, rinse and wipe down with a clean dry cloth.
- Never clean your LUMI Recovery Pod™ with strong bleach-based detergents, as this may degrade the materials and waterproof seals.
- To empty, use the drain tap (with the included hose) into a nearby sink or drain. Take care with the drain tap, don't force it and make sure to turn it to the closed position after use and clean it regularly. We recommend draining, cleaning and drying your LUMI Recovery Pod™ every two to three weeks.
- The LUMI Recovery Pod™ 'Top Ring' is removable; should any issues arise, then this can be easily unzipped and sent back for a replacement.
When Filling With Water
- Your LUMI Recovery Pod™ can be filled with cold or hot water, up to a maximum temperature of 50°C. Always start filling with room temperature water first, adjusting to your desired temperature as the LUMI Recovery Pod™ gets closer to full.
- Never fill your LUMI Recovery Pod™ to more than ¾ full so to compensate for your body mass and displacement of water when you enter. It's always best to start ½ full and then adjust afterwards.
Warnings
For Your Safety
- ALWAYS consult your doctor before using an ice bath if you have any health issues!
- Children and vulnerable adults must always be supervised when in the vicinity of a water-filled ice bath, and should never enter due to risk of drowning or getting health issues from cold water.
- DO NOT USE if you are: Under 18 years of age, Pregnant, have history of heart disease or high blood pressure, have diabetes, complications such as neuropathy or retinal damage, you wear a pacemaker, history of frostbite, have an open wound, had recent surgery, epilepsy or any other health concerns or risks.
Using an ice bath dramatically decreases your body core temperature. Immersing yourself in cold water constricts blood vessels and slows the flow of blood around the body, which combined with health complications, can cause your blood pressure to rise and give you a higher chance of cardiac arrest or stroke. Health benefits can only be obtained through careful use of an ice bath.
Recommendations
Despite the potential side effects and warnings, using an ice bath correctly actually has many health benefits! We will always recommend you begin by spending no more than a few minutes in the ice bath, and slowly working your way up to the recommended time, never push your body beyond its limits.
