Just installed the pump and it is working very well. Although the manual lacked some very basic info ie identifying the intake and discharge.
Everything is going together perfectly. I appreciate the planning you put together to make it easy to build.
I’ve been following Joe from his first DiY Cold Plunge. Because he is trustworthy, through, helpful and knowledgeable I decided to purchase the DiY Sauna and Heater Kit. It is 100% as advertised! It checks all of the boxes on what I (and so many others) was looking for. Easy to build, 200+ degrees, small footprint, red light therapy, etc. This plan checks all of those boxes.
If you are on the fence… Do it! You will not be disappointed. Side note… Joe is super helpful and quick to answer questions as needed. Cold Plunge Next!
I know where my skills lie and its not in wood working. I opted to trade some car detailing with my contractor for him to help me with the build and it turned out great!
I opted for the larger 48" length tank since I'm 6'4". Gives me plenty of room over the 100 gallon rubbermaid stock tank I was using before. One heads up I would give anyone looking to order the rectangle tanks of either size is that the shipping of the tank will be a couple hundred bucks depending on where in the U.S. you live so keep that in mind while.pricing your build out.
Also, one initial mistake I made thinking I was going to filter more stuff was buy a non-pleated 5 micron filter. This was essentially choking the flow of my system down making my pump pulse instead of flowing freely. Joe made me aware of this so once I changed the filter to a pleated 30 micron one, everything flowed smoothly.
I'd also like to thank Jow for being so responsive throughout my build. Not sure how many emails he gets on a regular basis but of the 3 or so emails I sent, I dont think a response took longer than a day, so thanks Joe!
