Danner Pumps are the best I've found for use in a DIY Cold Plunge. I've tested several different styles, sizes and brands - these have held up with a track record in the thousands. Whether you are building a stock tank cold plunge, luxury DIY cold plunge or converting a bathtub into a cold plunge, these Danner pumps will serve you well.

Unlike other cold plunge sites, I stock and ship these out myself. They are the only pumps I use and personally recommend.

What size pump should I get?

Danner 950 - I've found the 950 is best for 1/4HP chillers. I've paired this with the Active Aqua 1/4HP Chiller and the EcoPlus 1/4HP chiller with great success.
Danner 1200 - This is by far the most popular pump and works best with 1/2HP Chillers. I've paired this pump with the Active Aqua 1/2HP and Penguin 1/2HP HE.

How does the pump work?

These pumps are gravity fed. THEY WILL NOT CREATE THEIR OWN SUCTION. This means that water will need to flow freely to it to work. To put it simply, these pumps PUSH water, they don't PULL water.
The best part about Danner Pumps for a DIY Cold Plunge is that they work in all applications. Stock Tank plunges, Luxury DIY Cold Plunges, Bathtub Cold Plunges and even DIY Chest Freezer Cold Plunges. They work as submersible pumps and in-line so they are extremely adaptable and versatile.

What size fittings do I need?

Both the Danner 950 and Danner 1200 use 3/4" threaded fittings.
You will need a MALE threaded fitting for the inlet side of the pump and a FEMALE threaded fitting for the outlet side of the pump.

How should I run the pump?

These pumps are plug and play. Simple, reliable and consistent.
There is no programming/variable speed to deal with. Just plug it in and it will run.
Make sure you do not run these pumps dry, it will damage the pump.
If you hear clicking when the pump is plugged in, unplug the pump, ensure water is freely flowing to and through the pump and try again.

Fragile

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!

Danner 1200

Works as it should👍🏻

Great pump for my build

Great flow compared to the pump I was using. Thx

Great Pump!

Even better customer service.

Waited a week for it to ship.

Hope product is good, bc processing time n customer service sure ain’t

Hey Markus - Looking to see what I can do to help you out here.

Your order was placed Friday the 17th after business hours, and Monday was a Federal Holiday so it couldn't ship out that day.

On Tuesday morning you got a shipping notification with tracking information that showed it was already scanned an moving before noon that day.

I do see that it was delayed in transit and routed through CA for some reason, so I understand the frustration. I really do pride myself on customer service so please let me know how I can make it right.

Thanks,
Joe

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).
