The Elite Lite Barrel is The Cold Pod's step-up tub: bigger, thicker-walled, and lidded, while still needing no power or plumbing. It remains an ice-fed tub with no filtration and only a 1-year warranty, so the extra $380 over the standard pod buys structure and capacity, not automation.

The Elite Lite Barrel holds 120 gallons in a 39.37-inch-diameter, 30.32-inch-high barrel (32.28 inches with the lid attached), with 1.96-inch-thick walls and a 1.96-inch-thick lid that the brand describes as all-round insulation in a thinner-wall construction. At 31.97 lbs empty it is still portable, and the package includes the barrel, lid, a nylon carry bag with PU inner, a pump, a user manual, and — in the current bundle — the brand's Spaceship Cover. As with the standard pod, there is nothing to plug in or plumb, and it works indoors or outdoors.
What you don't get is any form of powered chilling, filtration, or sanitation: water care is manual, and cooling is ice. The listing also doesn't state a chiller-compatibility spec or ports, so buyers hoping to add a chiller later have no official guidance on the page, and the brand doesn't publish ice-retention or insulation R-value figures. The warranty matches the cheaper pod at 1 year with registration. If you already know you like cold immersion and want a roomier, more rigid vessel without spending four figures, this is the natural middle step in the Cold Pod range.
