DIY Cold Plunge

These plans were great. very easy to follow. Joe was also very helpful, he responded back quickly and answered my questions. The videos made it super easy to follow along.

Built my DIY cold plunge and got most of the supplies from Joe. Great quality, super support. Will definitely buy from again when the need arises

Awesome simple and beautiful.

I bought this from Joe to complete my cold plunge. Followed his instructions and included a simple Xmas timer that kicks on for an hour a day.

In the spring of 2022, I took a cold plunge in a lake. It was so invigorating that I told my wife we were going to have to buy a house on a lake. Well that didn't work so I found Joe at DIY cold plunge and used his first version plans to build the attached. At first I just used ice but eventually jumped in a bought first the Ozone unit from Joe and then eventually found a cooler on sale on Amazon. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the entire build process but some initial and final pictures are below. Congrats to Joe for a great site and what looks to be a great career at this point!!!

I like tinkering but even if you don’t this plan is for you. 2 years ago now, my buddy and I both wanted cold plunges but there was no way we were going to pay $10k each for them. At this time that was all that was on the market so it meant we had to make our own. For me that sounded like a fun project but for my friend who isn’t that handy was weary. We grabbed Joe’s plan, order the parts listed and went to work in our garages. It was easy to follow, made sense and literally anyone could use it and be successful.
That was two years ago and we’ve never had issues since. It’s great to see how many others have gotten on Joe’s DIY Cold Plunge train.
The part I love most is because I built it, if anything ever needing fixing I know exactly how to do it. No dealing with companies and warranty etc.. It also really shows you the mark up they are charging folks.
Hooray for Joe! You’re doing the lords work my friend.

I used Joe’s Full Start-to-Finish Plan for a 150 gallon Stock Tank Cold Plunge. I had used the stand alone stock tank for about 3 months with just an insulated cover. Being in Alaska cold water is not a problem. I filled the tank with 44f well water and over the 3 months (March - May) the water only gained ten degrees. In late May after gathering the supplies I drained it and started in on the project. It took me a little over a week of working evenings and a weekend. I plan to run my plunge year round and do not plan to need a chiller. First and foremost - Joe is meticulous with his plans. The measurements, the images, the videos and the shopping lists - all of it First Rate!!!! I made some adaptions based on availability of supplies and my over all plan but I could not find a more complete plan. A few adaptions that I made. I used 1 1/2” rigid foam vs 1” because that is what was available. It fit no problem. I used cedar fence boards on the sides and cedar deck boards for the oval. I was able to tuck all the plumbing inside and insulate the mechanical surround. For winter I plan to install a thermostat and heat tape to keep the plumbing from freezing. Here is to Hot Tub'n and Cold Plung'n!!!! I highly recommend Joe’s Full Start-to-Finish plan!

Perfect

This plan paid for itself over and over again. It saved me hours of research time, time I would have otherwise lost from trial and error, multiple trips to the hardware store and dealing with returns. With this plan, I had all the right parts and layout completely set up ahead of time. As soon as my chiller arrived, I spent a few hours connecting it all together and we were chilling! Joe’s done all the trial error, learning from mistakes and figuring out how best to lay everything out so you don’t have to! Not buying this plan is like driving an hour out of your way to save $0.02 a gallon on gas.

This is a must have when building your Cold Plunge. Joe really helps you avoid major snags in the process.

Had a great time building this! Plans were easy to follow just like the DIY Cild Plunge. Couldn’t recommend enough if you are looking for a solid sauna plan without the hefty price tag.

Joe has created these easy to follow plans and videos that take you through the entire process saving you hours of time and money! He also responds to emails immediately when you need help.

I can’t thank him enough. My cold plunge has been running strong for almost 2 years without an issue.

I had my reserves about building my first cold plunge. I have next to no experience building anything. I actually bought new tools just to build my first project. These instructions were extremely detailed and easy to follow. It took me a bit but I have my own cold plunge. It's extremely cold and painful but is exactly what I needed. My only critique would be some of the videos and projects get comingled. I mean the video for the steel stock tank is a different build from the 150 gallon tank and at times I got a bit confused. If the projects were separated into entire build sections I think it would have been easier to digest.

I didn’t have any woodworking or plumbing experience. The shopping list alone is worth the $100. The best part is now I have the confidence and basic knowledge to do more complex projects. If you care anything about the value of time, get the stock tank plan. Also, Joe was accessible and responded very quickly.

The downloads are a fantastic. I would never pay for a setup. 7k sounds absolutely crazy to me. I randomly saw Joe's post and convinced me that I can make my own. Without randomly seeing his post I wouldn't have a sauna now. The videos and plans break it down to easily comprehend.
