Minimum Space Needed:

The PortaSauna Plunge Pool requires approximately 1 metre × 1 metre of flat, stable ground when inflated. Consider these factors when choosing your location:

Setup Process:

1. Unpack from carry bag onto flat, debris-free surface
2. Inflate using the included hand pump (approximately 3-4 minutes)
3. Fill with cold water from hose or buckets
4. Add ice as desired for colder temperatures
5. Allow 10-15 minutes for water to reach target temperature
