Stock Tank Cold Plunge Plan

I couldn’t be happier with our cold plunge. I am definitely not a handy person and Joe’s plans were very easy to follow and it turned out great. He was also very responsive to all of my questions during the build. My wife and I use it all the time for recovery and could not be happier. I am 6‘9“ tall 240 pounds and the 150 gallon stock tank works perfectly for me.To cover the chiller, I found a bamboo ventilated doghouse that I cut out part of the side and it works great. Thanks again, Joe!

My wife and I use this daily and absolutely love the cold plunge stock tank DIY. Plans are done so well and the video explanation of every step is super helpful as I am a visual learner. I’m 6’ 2” / 260lbs and the 100 tank does the job. I am able to sit Indiana style and still get shoulders completely covered in the water with roughly 1 inch of space above water.
100% worth purchasing the full setup plans.

The plan was easy enough to follow. Joe was very responsive to my many questions. Other than my poor craftmanship in cutting and shaping the top cedars pieces it turned out great and I use it 5 days a week.

I’ll be honest—I was hesitant to spend nearly $200 on a DIY plan when the whole point of doing it yourself is to save money. But after nearly completing my build, I can confidently say this was one of the best decisions I made. Nothing is more valuable than time, and this guide takes all the guesswork out of the process, making it an enjoyable project rather than a frustrating one. The $190 price tag is easily justified by how streamlined and stress-free the experience was.

The parts list, detailed step-by-step PDF, and video tutorials are incredibly well-organized and easy to follow. On top of that, the quick and friendly email support whenever I had a question made a huge difference. It’s clear that a lot of thought and effort went into making this guide accessible for anyone, regardless of skill level.

Before this build, I was using a stock tank with ice and could barely get my water below 50°F. Even after adding a chiller last summer, keeping temps down during hot days was a constant battle. With this design and proper insulation, my chiller now works efficiently—I poured in room temp water, and it hit my target temperature within hours and stays there with no problem.

Another huge win is the filtration and sanitation setup. I used to waste over 80 gallons of water every week because it would get nasty fast. Now, I don’t have to worry about constant water changes—this system keeps everything clean and fresh.

Overall, I’m beyond satisfied. This guide doesn’t just help you build a cold plunge—it saves you time, frustration, and ongoing costs. I’m even tempted to grab the DIY sauna plans next (even though I already own an infrared one). If you’re on the fence like I was, trust me—this is well worth it.

These plans are awesome and the videos are super helpful. I recommend watching all the videos before you start and then again along the way.
