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.
Way better setup than intex filter system. I can keep the pump running without a timer and keep the water filtered with this pretty looking setup! Thanks Joe!
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.
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 am not the handy'ist at all. Joe's instructions and Materials list with his videos from YouTube got me almost done setting up my 150G stock tank. I had an issue with the inlet/outlet assembly by not having the right part and one i reached out to Joe's and he explained what i was missing and got the parts for me and they will be arriving tomorrow!!! I highly recommend using Joe for any stock tank, or soon custom sauna needs. He makes the newbie feel like they are capable of handling making your own DIY Cold Plunge. Joe is the best. Very grateful to have stumbled upon you and everything you created. Thank you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This plumbing bundle made it so easy to design and build my cold plunge filtration and sanitation system. Everything was laid out and organized well. The bill of materials help me source all the correct parts too.
Followed the plan exactly and, other than one unrelated mishap with spilled PVC Cement, it all went according to plan. Everything appears to function flawlessly.
Joe, the owner of DIY Cold Plunge, is the G.O.A.T. of how to build your own cold plunge. His plans and videos are the best. He has helped me tremendously. I also love that he has his own store where he sells the items you need that he has already tried, tested and recommends. You can trust the products he sells are going to be the best.
With these plans I was able to build my own filtration and sanitation system. I had never worked with PVC before, but with these plans and Joe's video I was cutting and gluing together PVC fittings, pipes and hoses like a pro! Well, maybe not a pro, but good enough to work great. I highly recommend these plans. They will save you time and money! Thanks Joe!
I bought the plans for the 150 stock tank, and then bought the Plumbing Bundle material... everything was perfect. Easy to follow, easy to understand, and not being much of a DIYer, it was exactly what I needed to feel confident in building my plunge and completing my project.
I originally just bought the framing plan but this is critical. Joe includes private videos that walk you through each step. My plunge is working perfectly.
Inefficient design plans
Very particular and indepth
I highly recommend this plan if you are building a cold tub. Typically, I would not spend money on plans like this and would instead binge hours and hours of content to figure out each piece and step for free.
I am so glad I didn’t waste the time because these plans are fantastic. With every part of the plan that I felt like I should deviate from to have better results, I quickly found out why Joe did it the way he did or with the parts he used. He has put in the work already, so why reinvent the wheel!
Joe, thank you for these detailed plans!! I put this altogether this past weekend and it works great.
Joe, Thanks so much for your insight and help.
Great instructions for any DIYer!
I was a little overwhelmed after seeing the material list. But the info and instructional videos made it go extremely smooth. Would highly recommend!
Most people could probably figure out their plumbing setup eventually, but if you're like me—short on time and not keen on multiple store trips—this plan is a game-changer. I used the provided shopping list for online pickups and was able to complete my setup in just two 1.5-hour evening sessions.
TIP:
Take your time assembling—getting PVC cement on your unions will cause problems.
Installing the flex spa hose on the venturi is trickier than it looks. Use hot enough water, or you’ll struggle.
Thanks, DIY! This made the process so much smoother.
First of all, Joe personally emailed me and was extremely helpful. I didn't know what I was doing and now I feel confident. Also, I love his design. Genius.
If you miss one step in the process of the filtration system, you will have to restart over just like I did. Unfortunately I bought this package after I made the mistake in the barbed Venturi system. Personally, I recommend the threaded Venturi system. Thank you DIY cold plunge for putting the time and effort to make these videos dialed in so we don’t have to make the mistakes.
Hi, I bought the bundle of plans, the one thing we are trying to figure out on the outlet with the ball valve, where that goes, is there a picture of the plumbing that could share?
This company is one of the best companies I have ever ordered anything online from. From prompt customer service to going above and beyond to make sure even when I made the wrong order I got the right product! 100% recommend
Everything was well listed with links to exact parts needed , what this guy provided goes above and beyond my expectations, Thank you !
