DIY Cold Plunge on the cheap

[@taltantuya50]

I bought a 55$ commercial freezer from Craigslist. People used to freeze their food in there. After deep cleaning it multiple times. Now I freeze my meat in that freezer. It works just fine

“Freeze my meat” 😂😂😂

[@mayberry7380]

The answer is yes! 98% of the expensive cold plunges are made with very inexpensive parts!

Where can you buy a $600 pump? How much hp?

I think you mean chiller - here is the one in the video. Price has gone up a little amzn.to/3YxsaDW

Yes I was looking into cold water therapy wonder if it works??

Well I'm a big fan and have benefited from making it a daily practice 👍

0:10 what’s a chiller?

[@DIYColdPlunge]

It's basically an appliance that keeps your water cold.

[@andresriquelme4699]

Smart ass 😆 good idea for the frozen bottles

[@DIYColdPlunge]

They worked, but a chiller is definitely the way to go.

Bought a small freezer and freeze water then use a rubbermaid 110 gallon $50 freezer from marketplace. $130 rubbermaid plastic water

[@DIYColdPlunge]

noice!

[@mhxxd4]

Chest freezer instead. Plus it has built in insulation so it'll use less electricity

[@DIYColdPlunge]

Always an option, but not for me. I've seen a lot of people have both success and failure with them

[@mhxxd4]

@@DIYColdPlunge failure how? Like leakage?

[@DIYColdPlunge]

[@johnathansanford8417]

Buy the freezer to freeze tons of iced bottle 😆

[@RyanClearwater]

Is the 1/4 enough for that tub?

[@DIYColdPlunge]

As long as your insulate your tank the 1/4HP can handle it 👍

[@RyanClearwater]

@@DIYColdPlunge thanks!

[@freddiewilloughby9951]

What size is that tank? Cheers

100 gal

Where u get the tank

Tractor Supply 👍

Being a big guy and plunging is difficult. Comfort and efficiency always comes at a cost. However, the ridiculous prices of most commercial plunges are just absurd 🦄🦖🐲. Glad to subscribe!

another technique is to move to florida and go to the local swimming pool

[@DIYColdPlunge]

I'm guessing the water wouldnt be 37°F?

[@vladiiidracula235]

From Florida, during the summer, the water can reach 80! During the winter, high sixties at the lowest.

[@datawolf2318]

Bro we got a blue barrel filled it water and frozen water bottles did our plunges. Then hooked a spout up to it and drained it out slowly into the garden. 100 dollar one time purchase. Grab the water bottles and throw wm back in the freezer. I swear the western world over complicates the simplest things 😂😂😂. And for you lazy people just refill during the end of your cool down training 😂😂😂

[@DIYColdPlunge]

You're an inspiration!

[@alecsparks2486]

$150 for a used chest freezer. Turn it on over night and it'll start to freeze so we unplug it for 4 days and it goes from about 35 to 48 and then we plug it it again for one night. Add a 1/4 teaspoon of chlorine ever couple uses. No sealing, no leaking, super easy.

[@DIYColdPlunge]

No sealing? Sounds like a problem waiting to happen

[@alecsparks2486]

Nope.

[@Edbrad]

Why do people worry so much about the ice freezing? Surely you can just throw a bunch of salt in there to allow you to get the temperature to go lower without it freezing. Has anyone thought of this?

[@alecsparks2486]

[@Knockout_KINGZ]

Is this how you start conversations? Skip straight to mid-sentence no buildup or anything.

[@Jay-fq8uz]

This isn’t cheap at all 😂

[@DIYColdPlunge]

Way less than $5K!

[@Jay-fq8uz]

@@DIYColdPlunge yes true. However, the chest freezer method is under 1k.

[@SaulRamirez-bz9cs]

Bro.. 5000 is still expensive lol gtfo.. Bought a 34$ heavy duty container with a lid and not I just freeze my ice

[@DIYColdPlunge]

$5000 is expensive. That's the whole point of DIY.

[@memylings8096]

you can just put water in the tub then put ice in it when you need to use it

[@DIYColdPlunge]

sounds like a lot of work!

[@tumuskurns]

Yea the price of ice will quickly add up. $15 worth of ice is barely enough to get cold, especially in the summer. The chiller and pump/filter combo is the best way to go

[@memylings8096]

@@tumuskurns price of ice ? take water and put it in the freezer 😐

[@majorpain4570]

@@memylings8096i live in Southern California and even with 60 pounds of ice it takes my 54 degree water and only drops it 5 or so degrees. Which is pretty frustrating. I’ve had to spend over $50 on ice just to get it in the low 40’s. Freezing water for 24 hours won’t freeze over all the way through unless it’s bottles

[@datawolf2318]

Get a pack 40 water bottles and freeze em. They'll be re frozen or close over night. Not that hard people.

[@J-PoN]

Robbed even with the cheap option 🤣

[@DIYColdPlunge]

Not sure that "robbed" is accurate....
