These were the first items I installed in what will be a very cool setup. Pieces arrived very fast and the video was very helpful. Thank you!
Works well with 3/4" spa tube. Used a heat gun to soften tubing and get a snug fit.
Perfect for the DIY cold plunge setup! Brilliant YouTube videos
I'd recommend getting what you can through DIY cold plunge. The information provided on YouTube was comprehensive and allowed my installation to go smoothly. Wonderful company and products
Joe makes this so easy for you. And he also makes himself available to answer all your questions. If you are considering tackling this project, do it. Don't hesitate. You won't regret it.
These plans are awesome and the videos are super helpful. I recommend watching all the videos before you start and then again along the way.
I finally added a filter to my cold plunge setup and realized I needed to upgrade from a 40 gph pump. The 950 seems to work just fine but it is louder than I expected it to be. Overall though I can’t complain too much. Glad I was able to find one and it seems much sturdier than the active aqua that I was using before.
This cover was exactly what I needed to finalize my DIY build. It is well insulated and I am very impressed with the quality. This cover fit my 100 gal stock tub perfect. It also came with clips that have locks integrated with keys.
Another great plan from, Joe. Looks nice next to the DIY cold plunge as a bonus.
The plans are very easy to follow, and the videos are especially helpful. I would definitely recommend this as a fun/satisfying project to do that has great health benefits in the end.
Thanks Joe! All your stuff is quality and tested and tried.
We live in Texas and get a lot of wind. I had built my own lid which was heavy but didn't blow off. So, the tie downs are an excellent addition that should work great. My only thought for improvement would be to cover it with a heavy duty silver vinyl rather than heavy black vinyl. We get a lot of sun and heat. A light reflective color would be more effective at helping it stay cool and might not get eaten up by the sun as quickly as I suspect the black vinyl will. It is a great product!
The recommended hole saw size was perfect. The bulkheads fit perfect as well. I attempted to purchase these items Al a carte through Menards and local pool stores to try and save but after adding up the cost and factoring in drive time, incorrect sizes etc. it made more sense to just purchase on the site. Thanks for putting this together!
These feel like they are very heavy duty, but they are a lot more fragile than I thought. One of the connectors broke off in the PVc from tipping over.
Great service from Joe on questions about the build!
The process was very easy, detail and the YouTube videos help a lot during the build. Just finish the 100 gallon and I’m building the 150 gallon tank real soon. The only problem I had was the foam insulation very messy wear gloves.
If for even a split second you think you might benefit from having pre-made plans for a cold plunge, you need to buy these plans. Joe has thought through everything for you - and he's done this enough times to have tips/tricks that will save time. If you can use a miter saw, drill, circular saw, and a jigsaw - then you have all the skills required to do this. Everything else you'll see how to do in his videos. This project took me about 4.5 days working 6 hours per day.
I ran out of the maritime foam and had to use fence post foam for the final insulation (just for the last 6'' or so. It seemed to work fine. Having a furniture dolly to throw this thing on toward the end was helpful. Make sure you triple check what wood you're getting. Even with Joe's hyperlinked shopping list, I ended up at home depot more times than I planned. Go ahead and just buy Joe's kit with the pump, ozone injector, and LED - it's worth it and you're not going to save that much finding that stuff on your own. I also opted to get his cover because I think it looks better.
I painted mine with outdoor paint and sealed it with poly. Using a rocita 1/3 HP chiller (I live in Colorado).
Let me start off by saying I am by no means a carpenter or a plumber. Thanks to Joe and this well thought out build plan, you will look like a rockstar.
I’ve been an avid plunger over the years. Mainly in winter months as Mother Nature in New England has kept my trough cold. The rest of the year not so much with the hassle of ice and water changes. This plan checked all the boxes for me. I was looking for efficiency, appearance, function, all under 2k. Problem with a 2k budget is something has to give. QUALITY. Building one was going to be the only option.
The satisfaction you get from building it yourself is also a plus. If you’re considering buying this plan or any of Joe’s plans. DO IT! You won’t be disappointed as they are beyond detailed. I also just bought the sauna plans and am very excited to start building tomorrow.
