Cold Plunge Tubs at Lowe's 2026: KPLUNGE, VEVOR Prices (Filed Under Bathtubs)
By IceColdTubs · Updated September 26, 2026
Quick answer: Lowe’s sells cold plunge tubs from KPLUNGE (a standalone chiller plus two inflatable models, $2,449-$2,799 on sale), VEVOR (a 216-gallon tub-only inflatable, no chiller), and LIFE AUTHENTICS (a small foldable tub with no electronics). The catch: Lowe’s has no dedicated Cold Plunge category — every listing sits under Bathtubs instead, so a category search that works at Home Depot will find nothing here. KPLUNGE’s Arctic Fox also sells at Home Depot under the same name, but with a different chiller size (3/4 HP at Lowe’s vs. 1 HP at Home Depot) and a $500 gap in list price.
Lowe’s is the fifth big-box or warehouse-club retailer this site has checked for cold plunge gear, after Costco, Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Home Depot. Its own sauna guide found a narrower, more premium-leaning catalog than Walmart’s or Home Depot’s. Cold plunge tells a different story: the products are there, but Lowe’s doesn’t file them anywhere a cold-plunge shopper would naturally look.

Cold plunge at Lowe’s, by the numbers
- 0: the number of dedicated “Cold Plunge” or “Spa” categories on lowes.com — every cold plunge product is filed under Bathtubs instead.
- $2,449-$2,799: the sale-price range for KPLUNGE’s three chiller-equipped models, per lowes.com’s own listings.
- $500: the list-price gap between Lowe’s KPLUNGE Arctic Fox (3/4 HP, $3,499) and Home Depot’s same-named Arctic Fox (1 HP, $3,999).
- 84 months: the longest cold-plunge-eligible financing term this site has found at any retailer, via the Lowe’s Advantage Card.
KPLUNGE is the only brand with real depth here
KPLUNGE is Lowe’s most consistently stocked cold plunge brand, spanning three distinct products rather than one SKU:
| Model | Format | Chiller | Capacity | List / Sale Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gale (CP-CHILL1HP) | Standalone chiller/heater + 16”x21” cast-iron tub | 1 HP, 38°F-104°F | — | $3,499 / $2,449.30 |
| Arctic Fox | 39”x39” round inflatable | 3/4 HP | 88 gallons | $3,499 / ~$2,449 |
| Kodiak | 59”x36”x27” oval inflatable | 1 HP | 110 gallons | $3,999 / ~$2,659-$2,799 |
All three carry WiFi app control, a built-in ozone generator, and a water filter system, and all three are ETL-certified for indoor or outdoor use per Lowe’s own listing pages. The Gale is the odd one out — it’s a chiller-and-heater unit paired with a fixed cast-iron tub rather than an inflatable, closer in spirit to Home Depot’s Sierra Spas plug-and-play tier (covered in our Home Depot cold plunge guide) than to KPLUNGE’s own inflatable pair.
Cold Plunge Tub with Chiller
Why we like it: if you'd rather not dig through Lowe's Bathtubs department to find KPLUNGE's lineup, dedicated chiller-equipped tubs from established recovery brands are always searchable directly on Amazon.

There’s no Cold Plunge category — everything lives under Bathtubs
This is the real finding of this run, and it isn’t a one-off. Our Home Depot cold plunge guide already flagged one Woodbridge chiller tub filed under Lowe’s Bathtubs category instead of Cold Plunge. Checking KPLUNGE’s and VEVOR’s current listings confirms the same pattern applies sitewide: every cold plunge product on lowes.com — all three KPLUNGE models and VEVOR’s 216-gallon inflatable — sits under Bathtubs > Bathtubs, and KPLUNGE even has its own dedicated “KPLUNGE Bathtubs” sub-page there. Home Depot, by contrast, runs an actual Outdoors > Home Spas > Cold Plunges category with its own breadcrumb.
Practically, that means the search box does more work at Lowe’s than the category menu does. Searching “cold plunge” directly on lowes.com surfaces the KPLUNGE and VEVOR listings fine — but browsing by department the way you would at Home Depot or Costco will lead you to a bathtub aisle, not a spa aisle, and it’s easy to assume Lowe’s simply doesn’t carry the category at all.
Sauna & Cold Plunge Thermometer
Why we like it: whichever chiller unit you land on, a dedicated water thermometer beats guessing when you're dialing in a new KPLUNGE or VEVOR tub for the first time.
Check Price on Amazon →The Arctic Fox name overlaps with Home Depot — but the spec doesn’t match
KPLUNGE’s Arctic Fox is the first same-named cold plunge product this site has found at two different big-box retailers. Lowe’s Arctic Fox lists a 3/4 HP chiller at $3,499 (sale $2,449). Home Depot’s Arctic Fox — listed under model number CP-IFBAR-1HP — specs a 1 HP chiller at $3,999 (sale $2,799). That’s a real difference in cooling power, not just a repackaged identical unit at two prices: a 1 HP compressor will generally pull water down to target temperature faster and hold it better against summer heat than a 3/4 HP unit, so the $500 list-price gap isn’t pure markup. Confirm the HP rating printed on whichever listing you’re comparing rather than assuming “Arctic Fox” means the same tub everywhere, the same lesson our Lowe’s sauna guide learned when Dynamic and Heat Wave turned out to trace back to one manufacturing family without being identical products.
| Retailer | Model | Chiller | List / Sale Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lowe’s | Arctic Fox | 3/4 HP | $3,499 / $2,449 |
| Home Depot | Arctic Fox (CP-IFBAR-1HP) | 1 HP | $3,999 / $2,799 |
VEVOR and LIFE AUTHENTICS cover the budget tier
VEVOR’s 216-gallon inflatable tub (59.1”x31.5”x29.9”) is sold tub-only at Lowe’s, with no chiller included — it’s built to pair with a separate chiller unit, the same tub-plus-standalone-chiller structure this site already found with ALEKO’s wooden tubs at Home Depot and Walmart. VEVOR’s own listing undercuts every KPLUNGE all-in-one price by a wide margin, which tracks: it’s a bare tub, not a chiller-equipped system. LIFE AUTHENTICS goes a step further with a small, foldable ice bath tub built around eight support posts and a protective lid — no chiller, no electronics, just an insulated basin you fill with ice and water yourself, the cheapest way into cold plunging that Lowe’s carries.
Returns and financing follow the sauna pattern
Lowe’s publishes a major-appliance list — refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, ranges, range hoods, dishwashers, over-the-range microwaves, cooktops, wall ovens, and washer/dryer pedestals — the same list our Lowe’s sauna guide checked. A cold plunge tub isn’t on it, so it should fall under Lowe’s standard 90-day return window, the same conclusion this site reached for Home Depot’s cold plunge lineup.
Financing is where Lowe’s pulls ahead of every other retailer in this series. The Lowe’s Advantage Card offers 84 fixed monthly payments at 9.99% purchase APR on qualifying purchases of $2,000 or more — more than three times Home Depot’s 24-month program, and every KPLUNGE chiller model above clears that $2,000 threshold. On a $2,799 Kodiak, that’s the difference between roughly $117/month over two years and about $47/month over seven, though interest is charged retroactively across the full balance if it isn’t paid off inside the promotional term.
When to buy elsewhere
- You want to browse a real Cold Plunge category, not dig through Bathtubs. Our Home Depot cold plunge guide covers a dedicated spa section with ALEKO, Woodbridge, and Sierra Spas.
- You’re comparing the Arctic Fox specifically. Check the HP rating before buying at either retailer — Lowe’s 3/4 HP unit and Home Depot’s 1 HP unit aren’t interchangeable despite the shared name.
- You want a chiller included at the lowest price. VEVOR’s tub-only listing means you’re pricing a separate chiller on top; our best cold plunge chiller guide compares standalone units directly.
- You want an established recovery-market brand with a longer track record. Our best cold plunge tubs roundup compares Plunge, Ice Barrel, and Renu Therapy directly.
The bottom line
- Best reason to buy cold plunge gear at Lowe’s: the longest financing term in this series (84 months) on KPLUNGE’s chiller-equipped lineup, all priced under $2,800 on sale.
- Biggest catch: there’s no Cold Plunge category at all — every listing is filed under Bathtubs, so browsing instead of searching will likely turn up nothing.
- Worth knowing: KPLUNGE’s Arctic Fox exists at both Lowe’s and Home Depot under the same name, but with different chiller sizes and a $500 list-price gap — check the HP rating before comparing prices.
- Skip Lowe’s when you want a dedicated spa category to browse, a chiller already bundled with a budget tub, or you’ve confirmed a better price on the exact same HP-rated model elsewhere.
If you’re cross-shopping the Arctic Fox, check our Home Depot cold plunge guide for its 1 HP listing there, and see our Lowe’s sauna guide for how the same retailer’s financing and return policy play out on saunas.
