2047 Ice Bath Range Compared: Core, Apex, Onyx and More
Share
Buying your first cold plunge is less about the brand name and more about matching the right system to your space, your budget and how hard you plan to train. The 2047 ice bath range covers portable tubs you can set up in an afternoon all the way to fully built-in recovery systems designed into a home or gym. This guide compares the five main cold-plunge models side by side, so you can see how the Core, Apex, Onyx, Glacier and Luxury differ in temperature, price and setup. By the end, you will know which 2047 ice bath fits your goals and why.
How the 2047 Ice Bath Range Is Organized
The range splits into two clear groups. Portable systems sit above the floor and run from their own chiller unit, so they suit renters, smaller homes and anyone who wants flexibility. Built-in systems are integrated into a deck, platform or recovery room for a clean, permanent finish with the equipment hidden away.
Every model shares the same core job: chilled, filtered water held at a steady cold temperature, ready whenever you are. What changes is how cold the system goes, how it looks in your space and how much installation work it needs. Understanding that split makes the rest of the comparison much easier to follow.
- Portable cold plunge: the 2047 Core and the 2047 Apex, built around the 2047SG DualCore platform.
- Built-in cold plunge: the 2047 Onyx, the 2047 Glacier and the flagship 2047 Luxury.
2047 Ice Bath Models Compared at a Glance
The table below lines up the main cold-plunge models so you can scan price tiers, water temperature and the type of buyer each one suits. Prices are a starting point in Singapore dollars and depend on the configuration you choose.
| Model | Type | Water temperature | Starts from (SGD) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2047 Core | Portable | 2 to 50°C (hot and cold) | 2,500 | First-time owners who want flexibility |
| 2047 Apex | Portable, high performance | Below standard plunge temperatures | 5,000 | Serious athletes chasing colder water |

| 2047 Onyx | Built-in | 2 to 45°C | 8,000 | A clean look with no exposed equipment |
| 2047 Luxury | Built-in, flagship | 0 to 50°C (hot and cold) | 12,000 | A premium all-in-one recovery setup |
Choosing the Right 2047 Ice Bath for Your Space and Goals
Numbers in a table only tell part of the story. Here is a closer look at each model, what it does well and the kind of owner it suits best. Use this section to narrow your shortlist before you book a consultation.
2047 Core: The Versatile All-Rounder
The 2047 Core is the flagship hot-and-cold recovery system and the most popular starting point in the range. It holds water from 2 to 50°C, so you can run a cold plunge in the morning and a warm soak later without switching machines. It comes in tub, slanted and barrel shapes, which makes it easy to fit into different corners of a home.
Because it is portable, the Core suits renters, HDB owners and anyone who may move house in the next few years. If you want one system that handles both ends of contrast therapy, this is the natural pick. Explore the full 2047 Core specifications to see the shape and chiller options.
2047 Apex: Maximum Cold Performance
The 2047 Apex is the highest-performance cold-plunge system in the range, engineered for people who want to push past typical plunge temperatures. It is still portable and offered in the same tub, slanted and barrel shapes as the Core, but the chiller is built for stronger, faster cooling.
Choose the Apex if cold performance is your priority and you train hard enough to feel the difference. Competitive athletes, combat-sport practitioners and anyone who finds standard plunges too mild tend to gravitate here. You can review the 2047 Apex to compare it directly against the Core.
2047 Glacier: Seamless Architectural Build
The 2047 Glacier is a built-in system designed around contemporary architecture and easy ownership. It holds water from 2 to 45°C and comes in Spa-White and Spa-Black finishes, with a sculpted acrylic shell that reads more like a design feature than gym equipment.
The Glacier suits homeowners planning a renovation or a dedicated recovery corner who want the plunge to blend into the room. If the look of your space matters as much as the cold water, the Glacier earns its place.
2047 Onyx: Integrated Design With Nothing Exposed
The 2047 Onyx is a fully integrated system for people who want serious performance without visible chillers, hoses or external units. It runs from 2 to 45°C and tucks all the working parts out of sight, which is why it is one of the best-selling built-in options. Read the dedicated 2047 Onyx listing for the full picture.
The Onyx is a strong fit for premium homes and commercial spaces where a tidy, finished appearance is part of the brief. It gives you the daily performance of a high-end plunge with none of the clutter.
2047 Luxury: The Flagship Setup
The 2047 Luxury is the flagship expression of 2047SG recovery technology, a fully integrated system that runs from 0 to 50°C. That wider range means deeper cold and genuine warm soaking in one build, with the premium materials and finish to match.
This is the model for owners who want the best of the range and plan to make recovery a permanent part of their home or facility. If budget is less of a constraint and you want one statement system, the Luxury sits at the top for a reason.
Quick Tip: Match the Temperature to Your Routine
Most people do not need the coldest possible water to get results. If you are new to cold therapy, a system that reaches 2 to 10°C is already plenty for daily recovery. Reserve the extreme end of the Apex for structured, experienced use rather than treating colder as automatically better.
Portable vs Built-In: What Installation Actually Involves
The split between portable and built-in models is not only about looks. It changes how the system arrives, how it is set up and how it fits your home. 2047sg handles consultation, site assessment, installation, app setup and ongoing maintenance as one continuous process, so you are not juggling separate vendors for delivery, plumbing and support.
Free delivery and free installation, including a site visit and consultation, are included with every system, whether it is a portable Core or a built-in Luxury. For built-in models, that site visit matters even more, because the team confirms drainage, power and space before anything is fixed in place.
- Consultation: talk through your goals, budget and the space you have.
- Site assessment: a visit to check power, drainage and access.
- Installation: delivery and setup handled by the 2047sg team.
- App setup: connect the system so you can control temperature and schedules.
- Ongoing support: maintenance and after-sales help when you need it.
Common Mistake: Buying on Price Alone
It is easy to pick the cheapest model and sort out setup later. In practice, installation, drainage and power often decide which system actually works in your space. A short consultation up front saves you from buying a built-in unit that your layout cannot support, or a portable one when a cleaner integrated finish was within reach.
A Young Company With a Fast-Growing Track Record
2047sg has been operating for under a year, roughly ten months, and in that time has completed over 100 home installations across Singapore. That volume in a short window is a useful signal when you are comparing suppliers, because it shows the team installs these systems week in and week out rather than occasionally.
Local stock and short lead times are part of the appeal too. Buying from a Singapore-based company means quicker delivery than importing an overseas system and a team that can return quickly if something needs attention. The growing base of customer reviews and word-of-mouth reflects that hands-on, local approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 2047 ice bath should a beginner choose?
Most beginners do well with the 2047 Core. It is portable, works as both a cold plunge and a warm soak, and does not require any building work to install. It gives you room to build a routine before deciding whether you want to upgrade to a colder or built-in system later. A short consultation helps confirm the Core suits your space and goals.
What is the difference between a portable and a built-in ice bath?
A portable ice bath, like the Core or Apex, sits above the floor and runs from its own chiller, so it is easier to move and ideal for renters or smaller homes. A built-in ice bath, like the Onyx, Glacier or Luxury, is integrated into a deck or recovery room for a permanent, tidy finish with the equipment hidden. Your space, drainage and how long you plan to stay decide which makes sense.
Do delivery and installation cost extra?
No. Free delivery and free installation are included with every 2047sg system, home or commercial, and that includes a site visit and consultation. The team handles consultation, site assessment, installation, app setup and ongoing maintenance as one process, so you are not arranging separate contractors for plumbing or electrical work. This applies across the whole range, from the portable Core to the built-in Luxury.
Can I install an ice bath in an HDB flat or condo?
In most cases, yes. Portable models such as the Core and Apex are well suited to HDB and condo layouts because they need power and drainage access rather than structural changes. The 2047sg team assesses your balcony, service yard or bathroom during the free site visit and tailors the setup to the space rather than forcing one fixed configuration.
Is 2047sg reliable given it is a new company?
2047sg has been operating for under a year and has already completed over 100 home installations across Singapore, alongside commercial projects for sports and fitness operators. That pace of installation, together with short local lead times and a growing base of customer reviews, is a stronger signal of reliability than age alone. A supplier that installs this often has clearly refined its process.
Which model goes the coldest?
The 2047 Apex is engineered for the coldest performance in the portable range and suits experienced users who want water below standard plunge temperatures. Among built-in systems, the flagship Luxury offers the widest range at 0 to 50°C. For everyday recovery, though, most owners find the Core and the built-in Glacier or Onyx more than cold enough.
How soon can a system be delivered?
Because 2047sg is based in Singapore and holds local stock, delivery and installation are usually much quicker than importing an overseas system. Exact timing depends on the model and your site, which the team confirms during the consultation. The same local presence also means faster support if you need help after installation.
Conclusion
Choosing a cold plunge comes down to three questions: how cold you want the water, how the system should look in your space, and how much you are ready to invest. The 2047 ice bath range answers all three, from the portable and flexible Core to the high-performance Apex and the built-in Glacier, Onyx and Luxury. Every system ships with free delivery and installation, and the 2047sg team handles the whole process end to end, backed by over 100 home installations completed across Singapore in under a year. If you are weighing up models, the simplest next step is to book a free consultation and site visit with the 2047sg team, who can match the right system to your home, your routine and your budget.
