TLDL: buy a freezer you fit in, dont skimp due to price. get one wo metal on the inside (only plastic). fill the drain hole with sealant to make sure no leaks. fish pump + ozone to sanitze (absolute must) maybe get 2 ozone pumps one on each side. make sure you have a cleaning process streamlined with a strong pump. otherwise your cleaning takes too long at 6 min time stamp. Nail your timer so the temp is the same all the time.

Looked high and low for a foot locker style trunk to store my daughter's dress up clothes. kzfaq.infoUgkxRkkpE1_3gMEZ2mPhAt6b2moNCUXyH8tG I had one growing up that I stored my Barbies in and wanted something sturdy like that for her costumes. This arrived really, really quickly and is exactly what I've been looking for. Perfect size, color (pink) and has stood up for nearly a year so far against my kids using it as a chair, stage, and barricade (😬) to keep each other out of their rooms. I'm probably going to order another one for my daughter's Barbies.

Pay $15 for an Elitech STC-1000. Easy to fit, and worked perfectly now for over 2 years. I set my freezer to switch on at 4 degrees and switch off at 5 degrees. I have a small pool, so I just use the chlorinated pool water, and change it out every month, so no need for a filtration system. Again, zero hassle. I don’t know why anyone would purposefully block the drain plug? Just wrap the outside plug in PTFE plumbers tape, and its completely watertight, but can still be easily removed for draining.

I got the ozone, water pump, sealant, and timer and I understand that I'll be using the timer to turn on and off the actual freezer, but do you also have a separate timer for the ozone and water pump or how do you turn those on in the night automatically? Thanks

@john99776 2 ай бұрын

Good question. Get an Inkbird temp controller instead of a timer. You can set the desired temp directly with that. Get an ozonater that is programmable itself. Set up your electrical cords so that the ozonater always stays on to maintain the program (no wires go to the tub, only ozone). The Inkbird supplies power to the freezer when it needs to. Set up the aquarium pump to stay on, except when you pull the plug to the Inkbird before getting in, when your plug setup will cut the power to the aquarium pump also - thus no electric to the plunge before getting in. Use a separate battery alarm timer nearby to tell you when you want to get out.

@wellnessdaddy 3 жыл бұрын

hard to say, a full plunge with water is around 700 pounds, so maybe not. hope it helps

@data-science-ai 3 жыл бұрын

I made a platform for mine so that the weight was distributed equally. I cut out space in the platform so that I could keep the wheels on but also that the weight was off of the wheels. I would not be distributing the weight of the cold plunge on the wheels. It's dangerous and you could damage the freezer unit.

@BrazBlue 2 жыл бұрын

how did the wheels go, i did some quick density load calcs for 14.8 cubic feet of water/human body you will have up to 900 pounds inside the freezer, plus 100-200 pounds for the freezer. i would want the wheels to be rated for 300 pounds per minimum. and realistically 500 pounds per wheel rating to accept shifting weight as you get in and out.

My ozonator is set to run for 10 minutes every 4 hours. Seems to be enough to keep it clean. The aquarium filter helps but is probably not enough to keep it clean.

Whats the point in the ozone machine? I took your advice and got everything you suggested. I even spent 1400$ on a Frigidaire 25 cu ft chest freezer(all i could find around me) and it seems to me the ozone machine creates a green layer. It collects on the sides and i can wipe it off with a paper towel(kinda). Only thing i can think of thats causing it. I put about 10lbs of salt in mine so it cant be algae. This didn't appear till after i put ozone machine in water. I had it set to run 5 mins every 4 hrs. Never noticed anything green on the sides. Then set it to 30 mins every 4 hrs and next day it was green all on the sides. So what's the point in the ozone machine?

@john99776 2 ай бұрын

Are you running the aquarium pump constantly? What temp is the water? Start over and leave out the salt - it may have contained some contaminant.

In your other videos, you show your tub using the Aqua-6 Ozone Generator. However, when you go on their website, it specifically says this ozone generator is not suitable for cold plunge tubs and to use the MP-3000 Ozone Generator. Do you have to buy the $4000 ozone generator vs the $90 one?

@liltuff7303 Жыл бұрын

Yes the $4000 is the go too that's what we all are using. Ask mum for a loan lad. Thank me later

Ozone is expensive and doesnt remain in solution long. Hypochlorite (bleach) can achieve the same goals with a smaller budget. (Think pools and your municipal water). To achieve a higher level you can also look in to UV lamps. Also, both Ozone and bleach can be inhalation hazards as well as highly corrosive. Proper levels of bleach disinfect longer than ozone.

Anything that creates the adrenaline response is what you’re aiming for. A cold shower is more than sufficient, yes. Do not stand still in the shower; keep your body moving. It keeps you colder that way, which is what you want.

Apparently the Ozone generator doesn't work for more then a glass of water from what I've been told. This is not a good purchase to clean the water. There is a JED 203. I accidentally purchased it and it will die very quickly. How long did you use your ozone generator before it died?

@@wellnessdaddy Glad to know that, I have spoke with some others that have done these deep freezers and from what I understand this Device does not provide enough "ozone" to barley clean a glass of water, let alone 14cubic ft of water. That is why I asked, some have criticized my purchased of this device & might end up costing me more in the long run having to go get the JED230 anyway since it is more sufficient in cleaning a large body of water like this.

Does your deep plunge get fine silt or sediment at the bottom? I have the ozone and air pump and run it daily however I can’t determine where the sediment of coming from. I can send a picture, let me know where to send it.

@jonnyl2001 Жыл бұрын

Ozone (O3) can take naturally occuring sulfides out of suspension through oxidation and leave them as sediment deposits. Unless you used deionized water for your plunge, which in that case idk what you have.

Pardon my lack of understanding. If the water is super cold why would We be worried about harmful things growing in it? Especially if we're getting in and out of it clean each time? And why wouldn't we want to maybe seal around the drain but then close it with a cap so we can still have the drain and just replace the water every couple weeks? Seems that, with the temperature control would be all you would need. 🤔

@john99776 2 ай бұрын

Algae will still grow. Ask anyone who lives in Washington state. The drain will tend to leak because of the water weight. Easier to just use a pump to empty the tub versus chasing annoying leaks.

These are good tips, except that I don't think you have good reasons for saying that the temp doesn't matter. I have a metal lined freezer. First I sealed the joints and the drain plug with Water Weld. Then I lined the inside with 2 coats of epoxy pond liner. I keep the temp at 39F with an Inkbird controller, and there is no ice in the water. I use the plunge first thing after getting out of bed, twice a week, for 5 1/2 minutes. The aquarium pump and ozonater work fine and keep the water clean. If I want to change the water once in a while, I use a portable electric transfer pump from Harbor Freight and garden hose to suck all the water out and down my driveway, then wipe the plunge and refill. You are right - if you're going to do cold therapy, you need to have things set up to do it quickly and easily. PS Have all your electrical cords/power, etc. in a nice condensed setup so you can disconnect the freezer, aquarium pump and thermostat by pulling out just one electrical plug before you get in each time. Pull the plug, see the Inkbird go dark, set a separate timer alarm, and get in. Be safe.
