The award-winning HomePlunge H3 turns an existing bathtub into a cold plunge, now available in Australia through Wellnesswares.
HomePlunge, a CES Innovation Awards Honoree, partners with Wellnesswares to bring its bathtub cold plunge chiller to Australia with local sales and support.
Australia has an incredibly active, wellness-conscious population, but the practical barriers to owning a cold plunge are the same ones we encountered in the United States.”
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Award-winning cold plunge system that transforms an existing bathtub is now available to Australian customers with local sales and support— Christopher Francis, Founder, HomePlunge
HomePlunge today announced its expansion into Australia through a new distribution partnership with Wellnesswares, an Australian specialist in residential wellness products.
The partnership makes HomePlunge’s flagship H3 cold plunge system available to Australian customers through HomePlunge Australia, with local distribution, customer service and market support provided by Wellnesswares.
HomePlunge addresses one of the biggest barriers to cold-water immersion: the need for a dedicated tub, permanent installation or a continual supply of ice. Its compact chiller connects to an existing bathtub without new plumbing or renovation, cooling the water to as low as 34°F and allowing users to schedule and control sessions through an app.
“Australia has an incredibly active, wellness-conscious population, but the practical barriers to owning a cold plunge are the same ones we encountered in the United States: space, installation, maintenance and cost,” said Christopher Francis, founder of HomePlunge. “Wellnesswares understands how to integrate premium wellness products into real homes. They are the right partner to introduce HomePlunge to Australians and support customers locally.”
The HomePlunge H3 was named a 2025 CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Fitness category and was included in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025 Special Mentions. It was subsequently named Best Indoor Cold Plunge of 2026 by Garage Gym Reviews.
Unlike a permanent plunge pool or standalone ice bath, HomePlunge works with the bathtub already in the home. The portable system plugs into a standard power outlet, circulates and filters the water, and can be repositioned or stored when not in use. This makes it particularly suitable for apartments, rental properties and homes where a dedicated recovery space is impractical.
Contrast therapy, which alternates heat such as a sauna session or hot shower with cold immersion, is a growing recovery trend. Because HomePlunge turns the bathtub people already have into a cold plunge, it makes the cold half of a contrast routine easy to do at home.
“The brilliance of HomePlunge is that it works with the bathroom people already have,” said Adrian Barr, founder of Wellnesswares. “It removes the barriers traditionally associated with cold therapy (cost, space, installation and maintenance) while delivering precisely chilled water in a simple, refined system.”
The Australian launch reflects HomePlunge’s broader mission to make consistent cold-water immersion more accessible without requiring consumers to remodel their homes or accommodate a bulky, always-on plunge pool.
The HomePlunge H3 is available in Australia from approximately AUD $3,900. Product information, availability and Australian purchasing details can be found at homeplunge.com.au.
