LOTI – Lord of the Ice, a piece of equipment developed and manufactured by TENSAI Indústria S.A., has been awarded the “Sustainable Choice 2026” distinction in the category of cold plunge equipment.
After achieving recognition as Product of the Year 2025, LOTI now receives this distinction, which honors products that demonstrate real and measurable positive impact across the environmental, social, and economic dimensions, based on a methodology combining specialized technical evaluation and consumer validation.
Sustainable Choice is an independent qualification system that distinguishes products, services, and initiatives that actively contribute to more responsible consumption.
The award is based on:
Technical analysis by experts in sustainability, innovation, and impact;
Evaluation by consumers, who validate relevance, clarity, and perceived value;
Stringent criteria across environmental, social, and economic dimensions.
This model ensures that the award is not merely declarative, but supported by data, metrics, and evidence.

LOTI was designed to replace traditional ice bath methods—highly intensive in water, ice, and logistics—with a technological, efficient, and sustainable solution.
LOTI completely eliminates the need for ice, avoiding:
Industrial ice production;
Cold-chain storage;
Transport and associated emissions;
Recurrent waste of resources;
While offering greater convenience for the user.
Thanks to the integrated system of forced water circulation, filtration, and UV sterilization, the water remains stable over long periods, avoiding constant replacement and drastically reducing water consumption compared to traditional tubs.
LOTI operates with controlled energy consumption and uses R600a refrigerant gas, which has a much lower climate impact than conventional refrigerants.
LOTI incorporates an industrially injected thermal insulation system, applied continuously and homogeneously throughout the equipment’s structure. This process eliminates thermal bridges, ensuring superior cold retention and long-term thermal stability.
Unlike handcrafted solutions or systems using insulation panels, LOTI’s injected insulation:
Maintains water temperature more efficiently;
Reduces thermal losses during operation and standby;
Decreases the number of compressor cycles;
Directly contributes to lower overall energy consumption.
This industrial insulation, combined with LOTI’s insulated lid, allows temperatures between 0 °C and 12 °C to be maintained with high efficiency, reinforcing the equipment’s energy performance and reducing its environmental impact—one of the determining factors behind its recognition as Sustainable Choice 2026.
LOTI promotes a cold plunge practice that is:
Safer, thanks to precise electronic temperature control;
More hygienic, with water treatment that avoids aggressive chemicals;
More accessible, enabling consistent domestic and professional use.
This contributes to the democratization of cryotherapy and the adoption of more responsible wellness practices.
By eliminating recurring costs associated with ice and frequent water changes, LOTI:
Reduces operating costs;
Decreases logistical dependency;
Increases predictability of use;
Offers a more efficient solution for intensive users (gyms, clinics, spas, hotels, and recovery centers);
Provides greater convenience for the user.

LOTI is manufactured in Portugal by TENSAI Indústria, in an industrial facility featuring:
An ISO 9001:2015 certified management system;
A strong commitment to renewable energy (photovoltaic panels);
A predominantly national supply chain;
Principles of durability, repairability, and circular economy.
LOTI was designed to deliver quiet operation, ensuring acoustic comfort even in residential environments. By integrating the entire refrigeration system within the unit itself, LOTI eliminates the need for external chillers or auxiliary cooling equipment, which are typically responsible for high noise levels, vibration, and acoustic disturbance.
The compact and optimized refrigeration system, combined with industrially injected thermal insulation, contributes to:
Significant reduction of structural vibrations;
Reduced need for frequent compressor cycles;
More stable and continuous operation;
Lower noise emissions during both operation and standby.
This acoustic control makes LOTI particularly suitable for home use, apartments, hotels, spas, and wellness spaces where silence is a critical comfort factor. By eliminating noisy external equipment and optimizing thermal behavior, LOTI delivers a discreet, comfortable, and fully integrated cold plunge experience, reinforcing its differentiation as a sustainable, efficient, and everyday-ready solution—one of the key reasons behind its recognition as Sustainable Choice 2026.
The Sustainable Choice 2026 award reinforces a path that had already been validated. In 2025, LOTI was distinguished as Product of the Year in the area of Innovation and Sustainability, consolidating its relevance among both the market and consumers.

It means that LOTI was evaluated by experts and consumers and recognized as a solution with proven positive impact across environmental, social, and economic dimensions.
No. LOTI was designed to operate without any use of ice, eliminating waste, logistics, and associated emissions.
No. LOTI uses a single volume of water that remains stable over long periods, drastically reducing consumption compared to traditional tubs.
Yes. The system was designed to operate with controlled energy consumption and uses an eco-friendly, low-impact refrigerant. Additionally, the high-performance industrially injected thermal insulation allows thermal losses to be close to negligible.
Yes. LOTI is used in gyms, clinics, recovery centers, spas, hotels, and also in residential environments.
LOTI is entirely manufactured in Portugal by TENSAI Indústria S.A.
The Sustainable Choice 2026 distinction confirms LOTI as a solution that combines technology, well-being, and environmental responsibility, redefining how cold plunges are practiced—with less impact, greater efficiency, and higher awareness.
LOTI was conceived as an integrated sustainable cold plunge system, where every technical decision directly contributes to reduced environmental impact, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced user experience.
The complete elimination of ice removes one of the most resource-intensive practices in traditional cryotherapy, avoiding industrial production, cold-chain storage, transport, and associated emissions, while significantly simplifying the user experience. In parallel, the substantial reduction in water consumption—ensured by forced circulation, filtration, and UV sterilization—keeps water stable for long periods, reducing frequent changes and water waste.
This performance is reinforced by a highly energy-efficient architecture, supported by the use of eco-friendly R600a refrigerant gas and an industrially injected thermal insulation system, applied continuously and homogeneously. This insulation eliminates thermal bridges, maximizes cold retention, reduces thermal losses, and decreases compressor cycling, ensuring stable temperatures between 0 °C and 12 °C with lower energy consumption.
Additionally, this fully integrated solution—without external chillers or auxiliary cooling equipment—enables quieter operation, making LOTI particularly suitable for home use without compromising acoustic comfort, aesthetics, or efficiency. The low noise level, combined with thermal stability and the absence of external systems, positions LOTI as a clear alternative to traditional and improvised solutions.
Overall, LOTI represents a holistic approach to cold plunging: fewer resources, less noise, lower environmental impact, and greater efficiency. It is this technical coherence, combined with measurable environmental and social benefits, that underpins LOTI’s recognition as Sustainable Choice 2026 in cold plunge equipment.

LOTI was also awardedin 2025 the Product of the Year label is not just an award—it is a seal of trust from consumers who have chosen LOTI as an innovative, effective, and reliable solution for well-being, recovery, and longevity.
