Great video. I'm about to make a cold plunge, I'm purchasing a chest freezer with temperature settings, so I don't have to worry about separate temperature controllers and don't have to worry about the water freezing over. Then I'm taking it to my local Line-X distributor who will be lightly sanding back the surface, silicon-ing the seams, and then covering it in Line-X. This does cost AUD$750 extra, but the seal on the unit should last for ever and is much safer, as it a) should never leak, and b) is a coating that doesn't conduct electricity. Still working on what to do buy way of filtration and hygiene, hence my watching this video. Side note, I just finished the video and I didn't think about additional support under the base of the freezer, good tip.

The epoxy pond liner coating keeps the freezer interior and its machinery from ever feeling you or the water. Happy plunging, and remember to always cut the power before getting in.

You can also buy a fabric or plastic pond liner and cut it to the dimensions of your freezer. This is water tight and you can clean it whenever you empty the water. I did this and I also used JB WW for extra protection. The wifi Inkbird is awesome, you can monitor and change water temp from the app on your phone.

@78heloman
@78heloman 4 ай бұрын
You do not need self etching primers when using epoxy primer. Also, jbweld is filled epoxy, you could mix regular epoxy with a filler and fill the corners . I’d suggest making a nice radius, use a spoon or tongue depressor,. If you really want to over do it, you could even run a light fiberglass tape over the corner set in the filled epoxy, this is how some boats are built. Also, I’m sure the pond liner is good, but many epoxy paints could handle being submerged. Definitely though, if it’s not a catalyzed epoxy, or some urethane scould do it, it’s not going to hold up.

@davidbafus2076 Ай бұрын
I'm not the channel creator, but I did a lot of research myself before building a chest freezer cold plunge, and since you didn't get a reply, here's my 2 cents. Check on the price of ice makers that will make enough ice for your application consider you need probably 40-60lb of ice to get it to temp so you're looking at an icemaker that is $2-3,000 new. Consider how much space sufficient bottles will take up in your freezer and how many it will take to get the water to the right temp. The rubbermaid is a reasonable plunge with a chiller pump, but consider the pump and filtration will run you in the realm of $1100, and if you don't want it to be on all the time you will need insulation meaning building a cabinet and lid and filling with foam. Chest freezer plunges are probably the easiest way to go about having a plunge without spending $2-4k on a basic complete cold plunge system.

Use a hose,run water into your plunge then take the hose off the spigot, cohesion of the water will cause nearly all of the water to drain out of the hose, just make sure it is lower than the water level in the plunge. Will take about 15-20 minutes to drain. Then finish draining with a bucket, or cup. Clean out the inside with a mild bleach solution. Refill.

No one is talking about commercial ice makers, they're around 400$ which seems like a much cheaper and simpler method, curious if anyone else has experience with one

Chest freezers are designed to circulate cold AIR, not water. Also, the risk of electrocution is severe. Bad idea.

How cold does it make your bathtub water? Have you put a thermometer in to see? I'm far more interested in doing your method just because I don't have space for a freezer anywhere. I mean a second one. One dedicated for this.

its not $618.89 for a DIY Chest Freezer Cold Plunge, id say its half the price of that, about $300 because people aren't going to buy all of the filter stuff for an extra $300 when you can just replace the water after like 3 or 4 days (that's if you aren't going in dirty every time) so that's like every 4 days and water out of the tap comes out pretty cold anyway so it wouldn't cost a lot to cool the water down every 4 days, while a filter will uses power all the time and for 300 dollars, id rather just replace the water and buy a decent freezer
@BreakItYourself
@BreakItYourself 3 ай бұрын
Unfortunately, during the summer the water coming out of the tap can be quite warm where I live. Up to 80 degrees F. To get it down to 34 degrees F takes my freezer hours if not days. Changing every 4 days will kill the freezer much faster. I haven’t changed my water in 7 months. It’s still crystal clear and well worth the extra $300. But starting with just the freezer is a good thing then you can add on the filtering later.

Why all this work when you could just use 6 mil plastic sheeting as liner? 1 sheet, no anything else. It won't grow funk cause of the cold, and you can change it out. You can buy enough to last years for $40 a roll from Lowes.
