works exactly as advertised, the bypass design using a ball valve to dial in the flow to optimize the venturi function works perfectly
This kit saved a lot of my time, trying to buy parts and fittings from different places and having to figure out how to. Highly recommend.
Just what I was looking for.. They work perfectly..
Build quality and fit is top notch, and it's much lighter than the wood and rigid foam lid I made for my last cold plunge
Filtration kit was very simple to put together with the supplied instructions. No leaks and working great.
Exactly what I need and super quiet, thank you
I decided to go with this kit after the second water pump on my Plunge failed. My Plunge is still under warranty, but rather than replacing the pump with another one that might eventually fail again, I decided to upgrade to this kit instead.
The kit included everything I needed for the installation and Joe’s video instructions were easy to follow. I have zero plumbing experience and the installation was very manageable.
The Danner 1200 has been great so far and is actually quieter than the original Plunge pump, which was a nice surprise.
Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend this kit to anyone looking to replace or upgrade their original Plunge pump.
Fit perfectly. Easy to build instructions. Love the design. I appreciate you taking the time to lay it all out.
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!
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.)
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.
Im so happy i came across this website. It has helped me and my team complete our DIY cold plunge for our members!
I got the plumbing package from DIY Cold Plunge and it has been fantastic. I got everything plumbed up, no problems, and Joe was really helpful in answering questions along the way. I got it done in the space I wanted it to be in, and I'm sure I saved a ton of money along the way. Thanks, Joe!
Makes the connection to chiller so easy and saved me so much time. Quick shipping and awesome customer service as always.
Instructions included were super easy to follow and really informative. This DIY but the results are professional...at a small fraction of the cost! Love everything Joe (and family) has done and is doing!
