I just finished this kit a few days ago. Everything came together easily. Any hiccups were quickly addressed with an email to Joe, who responded promptly. I was able to do the whole thing for under $2000. I bought the grizzly 450 cooler on sale for $1100, the chiller, a Rocita 1/3 hp from Walmart for $200, and other miscellaneous stuff such as the electric box, three prong outlet for under $100 bucks. All in all, I was able to create a “desert plunge“ style plunge for over $1400 savings. In addition, I feel confident that I can work on it if anything goes wrong. I also built my own side table to cover the chiller since it will be outdoors. I anlso elevated off the ground (for some reason I feel uncomfortable with electric stuff on the ground around water). Keep in mind, I’m not the handiest guy. Thanks Joe!
easy diy replacement.
:-)
Ordered a new pump and pvc connections to replace my 2nd plunge pump. Sidebar - plunge no longer supports their gen 1 stuff. Great thanks plunge. If you’re here b/c of that this is the set up you need. Easy order process, with pvc parts and adapters. (Watch the YouTube video- it’s easy.)
Joe is very helpful and nice!
They work very well!
Thanks for this design worked perfectly for the 150 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank.
Very happy with this build so far. Joe really put together a great set of plans and instructional videos to make the build so smooth.
The product is solid, the price is high, but the product support makes up for the premium. DIYColdplunge is a consumer friendly business.
Purchased the Gen 1 Plunge pump replacement kit and couldn’t be happier with the quality and price compared to the Plunge company.
I ordered a cheaper one on Amazon - it was crap, didn't even fit well, lightweight and no insulation, returned it and got this one from Joe. Fits perfectly, easy to screw in the straps and works great. Keeps everything cold.
Great build. Easy to follow and only needed a couple minor adjustments. I needed to cut out small portions of the top on the longer beams to make room for the stock tank to slide in. This is just the framing of the box itself, so you’ll need to figure out the siding/insulation yourself, but was easy enough with some basic know how. Fun to build, solid plans.
I bought the complete kit for my Grizzly 450qt Cooler. It all fit together perfectly. The only thing I would suggest is adding optional add one like the GE Filter neoprene cover and pipe insulation. The whole system works great and is much more effective than my old Nuvio set up with hoses hanging over the top of the tub.
Im so happy i came across this website. It has helped me and my team complete our DIY cold plunge for our members!
very pleased
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!
