BlueCube™ C3 Cold Plunge Tub
Complete Specifications & System Overview
-
The BlueCube™ C3 Cold Plunge Tub is the flagship system in the BlueCube lineup — engineered for full-body immersion, continuous commercial-grade performance, and uncompromising long-term durability.
Handcrafted in Redmond, Oregon, the C3 combines the most powerful flow system, the largest immersion tub, and the most complete sanitation options in the BlueCube range. Available in 66-inch and 72-inch configurations, it is the only BlueCube designed to accommodate users of any height without restriction — and the only model in the lineup compatible with an automated chlorine drip system for clients who require clinical-grade sanitation compliance. Its architectural form, material integrity, and system design position it as a true performance instrument — built for daily use in both the most demanding residential environments and high-volume commercial facilities.
