at about 1:11 in this video I notice a drain valve set up through the side of the tub, so that you can drain the tub. Can you share how you did the plumbing and what valve you used?

This is so cool. Love seeing a small business with kids involved. I will be buying some stuff soon.

Awesome videos. So glad I found your page. I do have a question for you. I just bought a grizzly 450 and it has the two drain plugs. One on each side. Would you recommend just using those for the inlet and the outlet?

Did you just use one 4x8 sheet of plywood for this or did you need two?

Hi joe. Just out of curiosity. Roughly how much do you spend on electricity for running your cold plunge chiller and pump continuously?

Bro my shit is set to 55 🥶 Maybe one day my balls will drop and I can join you guys in the "cool kids club" 😅

How much is the total cost of this build roughly?

ALSO: Always connect same side to the front/back of each device. Meaning that you can rearrange the components in case you accidentally put something in the wrong direction of flow like a venturi, check valve or filter housing. It's an easy mistake to make and is easily fixed if you've put unions on each side of each component. I like to put the female side of the union facing towards the line on each component and the male side facing the component side. 🤔

Hey there. Any sense of what the concerns would be if using an aluminum stock tank? Obviously dimensions would be different, but would aluminum as a material necessitate other considerations besides dimensions? Any help is appreciated!

I broke down and got an ozone machine. I tried CH and surprise, my indoor setup is bad for that lol 😅 I'm not putting it on the filter, I'm putting it on the outlet side. I'm refinishing the panels and trim work, I will get you the blog post review for my indoor setup eventually lol. Been using for 3 weeks, it's been great. My reasoning for putting it past my chiller (outlet side) is purely convenience and I don't want a mess of plumbing in one place. The framing plan left a LOT of airspace in the mech area which I appreciate and make good use of with various components all spaced out effectively. Just needed to know the duration you run yours. 1hr~ cool and thanks for The content. Hopefully I can give back eventually with the blog post.

Really glad I found your channel can't wait to build a real plunge from your guides keep it up !!

Hey! I tried the discount code on the video and it didn’t work. Do you have a current one?

do you need the bulkhead that is going into the tub half way up? Is there any drawbacks to having it low?

I can't see how the water goes through the filter?

Yalls 100 gallon looks so tiny 😂 Its so small, how do you even stretch out in that thing?

is it absolutely essential to mount it above the waterline? i'm using an ice barrel 300 which is relatively high (much higher than my modified deck box where I keep my chiller)

Does this work without a chiller if you’re bulk ice cooling?

Hey DIYColdPlunge, im looking forward to build a cold plunge for myself. It sounds a little stupid, but in germany we really dont have any plastic tanks like in America unfortunately. Do you know if there are companies who are willing to ship these tanks just like in your video? Of course wood and all that stuff i can get local but just the tank remains a problem haha

$150 for a used chest freezer. Turn it on over night and it'll start to freeze so we unplug it for 4 days and it goes from about 35 to 48 and then we plug it it again for one night. Add a 1/4 teaspoon of chlorine ever couple uses. No sealing, no leaking, super easy.

How to add and power a light and how do you add ozone to your pump, and chiller loop? Thanks

If you're not using a filter (I have an inline strainer before the pump), would you see issues with doing an inline venturi that is located close to the outlet (after both the pump and the chiller)?

Looks great!! Having issues with my build maintaining temp in this hot Florida weather. Currently rocking an inflatable tub like the Edge Theory labs set up. Would building this with the better insolation improve my set ups performance? Currently getting about 50 degrees, wanting to get back down to 38-40.

Could you tag the link to full build vid?

Hey brother! Does the ozone unit have to be placed/installed above the water line? or does it matter? Just binged watch your videos to build my own DIY. Thank you for all the info and effort!

Apologies if you've talked about this before but I'm curious what kind of temp control a stock tank cold plunge would have each day outside. How resistant to temperature changes is it once it's chilled down to sub 50°? Does building an insulated box around it make it big difference in temp resistance?

Thank you

Ordered your spa light for my 150 Rubbermaid tank - but the spa light isn't fitting into the drain hole... any tips? I have the hole saw from building the inlet and outlets... should I use that to enlarge the hole?

How do you hook that up with the Intex C1000?

Bro.. 5000 is still expensive lol gtfo.. Bought a 34$ heavy duty container with a lid and not I just freeze my ice

do you keep the Chiller installed year round. Im also in MN and trying make a decision on chiller.

Have you posted a chiller comparison video yet?

My assumption is this system goes directly into the cooler system. Does ozone injection negatively affect the cooler?

Do you have your ozne on a timer? Or do you run it 24/7 with the pump?

Looking forward to the chiller encloser DIY. Any info you can share now?

I don't have a Rubbermaid brand stock tank, but it is a different brand 100 gallon stock tank. Will this plan work for it? Or will I have to buy the specific rubbermaid brand stock tank in order for the dimensions to work out the same

Hello guys I manufacture of diy ice bath therapy chiller and I had something to tell you guys I have some crazy chillers in just650$

Where do you get the wall bracket for the GE whole house filter? We purchased the filter from Home Depot and it doesn't come with a wall mount bracket.

This is like dropping a toaster in a bathtub, not safe.

Just got my Active Aqua 1/4. I wasn't sure this would work cause the 3/4 pvc is slightly larger (hence the drilling needed) then the OEM piece. Since I had most of the stuff, I took off the OEM gasket, put it on the 3/4 pvc with taper out and it is now too large to go into the chiller. It sits on the rim. On the OEM the taper part of the gasket goes in maybe 1/4 " but once you stretch it onto the pvc it now too large. My Chiller holes look same as yours meaning the holes are straight not tapered,... Tried a 1/2 pvc piece and it slides thru the gasket and isn't snug, so might work if was able to get it to compress enough when screwed in. So what do you think the issue is? They changed the gasket thickness? Cause 3/4 pvc isn't going to work, there is no way it will seal if even the first part of taper won't go into hole.

You’re gonna do all that and still need a skimmer lol…

If I plan on building a 150 gallon plunge could I still use the active aqua 1/4 ?

What kind of tarp is that?

In mine looks like it’s filled with some cream

Hi Joe. I seem to have an issue when it comes to sanitation of the water in the cold plunge. I am using a 350l pvc barrel and a very similar plumbing system as you do. After 10 days of use I am starting to notice that the water filter is getting pretty dirty and I can feel that the bottom and the edges of the barrel have a very smooth feel to it (assuming it is algae). The water has no smell though and it looks clear. I do however notice bubbles that look like foam floating at the top, could this be from too much ozone or is it something else? I’ve been running the chiller and water pump 6hrs/day and ozone 1hr/day. Looking forward to your reply mate, cheers.

I got the vevor 1/3, caught it on sale and couldn't pass up the deal. Took 3 weeks to deliver but everything seems to be good. I'm Mechanically inclined and the vevor is probably going to break down eventually as they do have lower build quality (from my research). It will be a good opportunity to learn the compressor cooling cycle

Alway alway cold plunge before work outs otherwise you lose the benefits I have been a strength conditioning coach for over 20 years.
