Good communication and fast shipping!
Built V1 a couple years ago, prior to finding this site. 100 Gal stock tank, filter, pump, ozone gen all from Amazon. re purposed an old chiller. Found DIY Cold plunge and ordered the 150 gal plans, lid and filter kit. Major upgrade.
Made connecting to the Active Aqua chiller a breeze!
Really easy to install. Highly recommend for long sessions in the sauna. Just remember to close them when you’re heating it up. They came ready to go out of the box. Love the look and finish on them!
Couldn't say enough to describe how awesome this thing is. The plans were so well put together and easy to use. Had a really good time building it. Everything is very well organized and easy to follow. And Joe was amazing. He answered all my questions very quick. And I had a lot of questions. Probably too many. I even ran into some issues with my local Home Depot not having what I needed and Joe found me some alternate options. He was so helpful. He put in way more work than what I paid for. Super grateful for this setup and everything that it came with. I also used the DIY Heater and the 2 vents and they were super easy to install. I went with the XL build and I’m glad I did. I’m 5’11” 200 pounds and it’s comfortable. I will say having the 375W bulbs might be better in terms of heating it up quicker. I haven’t tried that but I will next. Highly recommend to anybody who’s on the fence about it. Couldn’t say a negative thing about it, and Joe was awesome. Super grateful!
Hands down, it’s awesome. I had minimal tools and no space and was still able to get it done in about 4 days. Works perfects. I have been in it about 5 days a week now and it is fantastic.
Great support, great plans and so easy to do! Lets enjoy now!
I love it is so ez build thanks you
My order arrived just as promised. I was not seeing the ozonator produce bubbles in my cold plunge so I reached out to Joe. His timely emailed responses to my questions and photos helped me resolve the issue by recommending a few changes to my plumbing set up. Grateful for the products and the excellent support!
With 3 cats that love to sharpen their claws on anything with a little bit of give, I couldn't do the standard blow-up cold plunge. The other pre-fab options were too expensive, so I went on a search for DIY. As soon as I saw this thing, I knew it was what I had to build. I do a lot of woodwork, so I could have built this without the plans, but life is busy, and I knew it would save more money in time than the plans cost... and boy, were the plans ever worth it. The plans and videos saved countless hours of trial and error, and at least a few dollars only having to do the build once. It turned out so well that most people can't believe I didn't buy it pre-made. It's so well insulated that my chiller hardly ever runs. Do yourself a favor, though, and have an extra set of the mixing foam ready. One set only filled mine a little over half way. I built a platform with a lot of casters so I can move it around to get to the filter components and keep the whole thing off the ground that can get quite wet sometimes where I have it located. I also enclosed both sides of the mechanical section because I thought having the filter showing looked kind of ugly. Overall, though, fantastic plans that will easily save you more in time and extra parts than they cost.
Been eyeing up the plans for a while wanting to build a sauna for the garage gym. Finally decided to pull the trigger with my HSA funds, yes, it’s deductible. Got the plans and they were very well thought out and clear. The biggest challenge I had was running back to Lowe’s to replace the twisted lumber they shipped me. Super easy and straight forward build using the tools I already had. Insulating and sheathing today as I wait for my heater to arrive.
There were steps I had never done before, but thanks to the high level of detail, I had complete confidence at every step.
The plans and supplies list saved so many hours and the finished product looks and works great!
Extremely detailed and easy to follow (videos are incredible)! I've sat in the similar version you can buy for 4x the price and there is no difference.
Do yourself a favor – buy the plan and build your own!

Thanks David! Really appreciate the review. I appreciate the 4-Star (sometimes I worry that folks think I'm spamming these when they're all 5-Star... But I'm curious what I could have added to make it a 5. Appreciate your feedback
