Yes, the Chill Tubs Essential is very easy to fill—just use a hose pipe and fill it with cold water up to about 15 cm (6 inches) below the top ring (no more than two-thirds full). For an extra chill, you can add ice or ice packs. The insulated design helps keep the water colder for longer. Both the Chill Tubs Essential Pod and Bath come with an inflatable Thermo Lid to help keep the water clean. We recommend changing the water weekly without any additives and cleaning the inside with warm soapy water to maintain the tub's longevity.
