For commercial facilities
What it takes to run ice baths in a commercial facility, and what we do so you get it right the first time.
Anyone can sell you an ice bath.
Very few can build you a system.
Cold water has become part of how a modern facility competes. Members expect it, franchises are designing it in, and a good recovery zone earns its floor space every single day.
The hard part is what happens after opening week. A tub full of cold water is easy. Keeping that water cold, clear and safe while dozens of warm bodies move through it every day is a different job entirely. It is the difference between an appliance and a system, and it is decided before the first slab is poured.
We see the same story all the time. A recovery room opens on consumer gear. Within weeks the chiller cannot hold temperature on busy days, the water is cloudy by afternoon, and a staff member is on filter duty between classes. The gear was never built for the load.
Opened with self contained tubs and chillers. Four breakdowns in the first four weeks, staff changing filters multiple times a day, and water that was never as clear as it should be. They rebuilt the room as one Bergs system. The difference was not a better tub. It was everything behind it. This page is about the behind.
That one sentence changes every decision that follows. A commercial pool is three parts working as one loop, each matched to your bather load, your space and your climate. We design and supply all three.
Five things we consider non negotiable in a commercial cold water space. Every system we design is built to hit all five.
Continuous monitoring, automated dosing and data logging, designed to help you meet Australian water quality requirements. If someone asks to see the numbers, you have them.
Rated for Australian conditions and sized with headroom, so the water is still at temperature on the hottest, busiest day of the year, not just at commissioning.
Our patented split system puts the hot, noisy components outside. The indoor unit sits silently in the plant room, not in the middle of your recovery space.
Pods, plunges and pools share a single chiller and filtration plant. Fewer machines, fewer failure points, one plant room, and a design you can repeat site after site.
The system doses, corrects and logs itself through peak load, and alerts you remotely if anything needs attention. Your staff run sessions, not filters.
A group sized pool at the centre of the recovery floor, with the chiller and filtration plant tucked away behind it.
Private recovery rooms, each with its own tub, all running off the same central system.
Our own Australian made stainless steel vessels, dressed on site to match the fitout.
“I can put my hand on my heart and say the temperature is 12 degrees and it is not going to change. That is how it has been since we opened. Our water is crystal clear.”
Bergs systems are trusted by Studio Vela, Total Fusion Platinum, World Gym, Powerhouse Gym, Life Hub, Roar Active and other leading operators.
Pick one shape or mix them in the same room. All pools come in a self supporting frame.
We work with custom pool specialists to make sure you get exactly what you want. They form the pool on site and we design the chiller and filtration around it. This World Gym plunge was built exactly that way.
The chiller keeps the water cold. The filtration keeps it safe and clear. Both are specified to your bather load, and both are our own scope, end to end.
Our patented split system for larger volumes and multi tub sites. Holds temperature when the room is busy and the day is hot.
The workhorse for smaller rooms and lighter loads. The same split system design in a smaller engine.
Commercial facilities that want the room done once and done right. Gyms, studios, clubs, hotels and franchises building cold water their members will use every day for years.
Home setups, and builds where the lowest quote is the only measure. We are rarely the cheapest. We are the one still holding temperature in February.
Tell it your water volume and how many people a day, and it works out the chiller your room needs. Free, and useful even if you never talk to us.
