I built the XL Sauna and the Cold Plunge. Both turned out fantastic and I am really enjoying using them! The plans are great and take you step by step, could not have done it without the video walk through of each step!
Only downside is it was a bit of a bigger project then I had anticipated, but as the title says, was well worth it!
Excellent plans, thorough, easy to follow! And the best part of DIY, changing it up a bit to make it your own. Fantastic! Thanks Joe!
No issues pushing water through Joe’s recommended whole house filter and ozone sanitation configuration.
Easy install thanks to Joe’s many useful tutorials. No issues so far!
This flexible hose is the jam. I first went into my DIY Cold Plunge adventure with some knowledge from Joe's videos. HOWEVER, I should have paid more attention and followed more of his advice. I redid my plumbing setup with this flexible hose and it made it so much more efficient and clean looking! I also used the Venturi injector he sells (as opposed to the cheap amazon find). It's a proper setup now. If you're on the fence between rigid PVC (or PEX in my case.....) or this flexible spa hose. Get this and follow his instructions to avoid upsets and headaches!
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
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!

I just installed & running it. ...SORRY TO SAY ITS LOUD & CIRCULATION IS WEAK, DOESN'T PUMP WATER VERY WELL. WOULD LIKE O RETURN.
Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review here Colin - I did just respond to your email. Noise & weak flow are due incorrect configuration or a priming issue. Send me some photos of how you've got it set up & we can troubleshoot. If your pump happens to be defective I'll get a replacement sent your way
