The amenity that
pays for itself.

A commercial-grade cold plunge with a tap-to-pay session system built in. Residents or guests pay a few dollars per session from their phone — the money goes straight to your building's account. The amenity recovers its own cost, then keeps earning.

How a session works

Scan. Pay. Plunge.

No app to install, no card terminal, no staff. The water is held cold 24/7 — payment starts the session, not the cooling.

02 · PAY

One tap

Apple Pay or Google Pay. You set the price — $3 to $5 a session.

03 · PLUNGE

Session on

Session light turns on. A real immersion takes 3–5 minutes at 5°C.

04 · EARN

You collect

Funds land in the building's own account. Live dashboard included.

The numbers

When does it pay for itself?

Short sessions mean high throughput — one tub comfortably serves 20+ sessions a day. Here's the honest maths at $4 a session, already net of card fees and estimated electricity.

UsageNet income / monthEssential system — from $6,990G5 all-in-one — from $10,990
Quiet · 5 sessions/day$455~18 months~28 months
Typical · 10 sessions/day$1,000~8 months~13 months
Busy · 20 sessions/day$2,089~4 months~6 months

Illustrative scenarios, not a guarantee — your usage will vary. A 60-apartment building where 1 in 6 residents plunges daily is the typical row. Holiday resorts often skip per-session pricing entirely and bake the amenity into the nightly rate instead — we'll model your property on your proposal. Final equipment quote after enquiry.

Already have a sauna on a dumb timer? The same session system retrofits to it — start earning from the amenity you already own.

Outdoor & pool-deck installs

Compliant by design.

Queensland pool-safety law applies to any vessel deeper than 300mm — including cold plunges in common areas. For outdoor sites we supply a compliant enclosure (1.2m barrier, self-closing self-latching gate) with payment-controlled entry: the barrier the law already requires becomes the gate that earns. Exit is always free from inside. Every site is confirmed with a licensed pool-safety inspector.

FAQ

Manager questions.

What stops someone using it without paying?

The amenity zone already sits behind your fob and cameras — the QR is the meter, not the lock. The session light makes non-payment visible, and the dashboard shows usage against revenue. For outdoor sites, the mandatory pool-safety gate doubles as payment-controlled entry. And nobody lingers in 5°C water — the product self-limits like no other amenity.

If nobody pays overnight, is the water warm in the morning?

No. The chiller holds temperature 24/7 on its thermostat under an insulated cover — that's a few dollars a day in power, covered by the first sessions each morning. Payment starts a session, never the cooling. It's always ready.

Who cleans the water?

The system does most of it: ozone self-sanitisation plus continuous filtration, no chlorine handling for your staff. The only consumable is a filter cartridge, and the screen tells you when. Our optional care plan does filters and water changes entirely for you.

What does the building actually have to do?

Provide the corner, the power point and sign-off. We deliver, install, fill, set up the payment account in the building's name, put up the signage and train your manager in 30 minutes. Revenue lands in your account from day one.

We're a resort — should guests pay per session?

Your call. Many resorts skip per-session pricing and bake the cold plunge into the nightly rate or a wellness package — a recovery amenity lifts rates, reviews and listing photos. Others meter it with the same QR. We'll model both on your proposal.
