Bought the sauna, heater kit, and backrest plans. Super happy with my purchase. Joe was incredibly helpful and communicated well when I had questions. The videos explained thing very well and I was able to slowly complete my build over multiple weekends when I had a few spare hours. Total hours it took me to build was probably like 50 hours if I added it all up. But I am not the most handy with this sort of stuff.
Only minor negative aspect was that the heater kit had a safety issue of sorts that cause the product to be recalled. And rather than being DIY and working with the customers to find a solution, Joe seemed to be forced to kind of pull back from his normal engaged content and just offer refunds. Likely this was legally his only option, but a little disappointing.
I was able to troubleshoot, replace parts, and address the issue with the help from other customers on Instagram. And things work great now! I would do it all again if given the choice. The plans and products Joe offered were top notch and I am very happy with how things turned out! Now I’m considering building a cold plunge…haha
This was a quick fun side project after the sauna build. I used an extra 5/4 board and 2 cedar fence posts. It makes the sauna more comfortable.
Sauna back risk plan was super easy to follow, turned out better than what I expected. Extremely happy with final result.
The back rest is a great addition to the sauna. Thanks Joe

Great quality and direct fitment.
After experiencing absolutely horrendous customer service from The Plunge (@Plunge), I made the decision to take matters into my own hands and repair and replace the components on my cold plunge myself. My experience with The Plunge was so disappointing that I vowed never to purchase another product from them again!
That's when I found DIY Cold Plunge, and I couldn't be happier with my decision!
Joe at DIY Cold Plunge is the definition of exceptional customer service! From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in helping me get my cold plunge back up and running. He took the time to understand my specific setup, helped me identify exactly which replacement parts I needed, and recommended the right pump for my system.
What impressed me even more was the attention to detail. I asked Joe if he could have the parts delivered to my house on a specific day, and he made absolutely sure they arrived exactly when I needed them. That's the kind of customer service you rarely see anymore!
The quality of the parts, the detailed tutorials, the helpful information, and the overall experience with DIY Cold Plunge have been nothing short of TOP NOTCH!
The difference between my experiences with The Plunge and DIY Cold Plunge couldn't be more night and day. One company left me frustrated enough to swear off its products entirely, while the other went above and beyond to earn my trust and business.
If you own a cold plunge and need replacement parts, upgrades, or expert guidance, I cannot recommend DIY Cold Plunge and Joe enough!
Thank you, Joe, for proving that outstanding customer service still exists. You've earned a customer for life!
Great communication awesome customer service!
