How I Keep My Cold Plunge Water Super CLEAN (for Months)

[@Go2Sleep911]

Boom!! Awesome video. My plunge is awesome!! Do everything you talked about and it works amazing..

[@DavidMausJr]

Love it!!

[@TonyDursoIM]

We have a Plunge All In. Great content here. Going to follow your weekly cleaning routine of 1 cup of 3% HP every week. Just wondering do you use the Sanitize (3 drops) weekly as well? Pretty much just my wife and I using it every other day for 3 minutes at 48-50 deg. Thanks for all the support.

[@DavidMausJr]

Good stuff!

[@liljay32]

Awesome Video David. I’m really new to this and I just purchased the Orca Migaloo. So far so good but I don’t know the difference of any other. My pump can Chill down to 39F and Heat to 104F and my question to you is, can I use the ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and water stabilizer the same way you specified, when I heat my water up? Also are you checking the PH of your water every time you use it and what range are you going by? Thanks, Jason

[@rainmakr20]

Great content. Thank you trying to figure out how to get started.

[@DavidMausJr]

Happy to help! If you need any help, just ask. I’m pretty accessible on IG @dmausjr

[@CraigHuggart-ye4rl]

Love your videos! I am just starting in cold plunges and you seem to have the best ideas for keeping the water clean while minimizing chemical use. What mic do you use for recording?

[@DavidMausJr]

Thank you! Mainly a DJI wireless mic. Plug and play and sounds great I think

[@tristanrichards9854]

Hello just purchased polar monkeys cyber plunge. They are telling me know to use hydrogen peroxide and really pushing their sanitation product they keep on their site. I got commercial chiller which doesn’t have ozone. I wanted ozone so will buy portable unit similar to yours any reason they are saying peroxide use will “void warranty”? I know you reviewed the cyber plunge so figure you maybe familiar with their products. Thanks.

[@kevindyson1252]

Hold on one minute, I'm not suppose to pee in my cold plunge, well I'm gonna have to change behavior quick...

[@DavidMausJr]

Haha!!!

[@brennanhogan4589]

How do i setup ozone in my plunge All In? Please help

[@DavidMausJr]

The all in has is setup automatic so you should be good to go

[@brennanhogan4589]

​@@DavidMausJrThank You. Also, you recommended using a few drops of the ice barrel water stable and hydrogen peroxide to clean instead of chemicals. Has anything changed or do you still do this? I got my All In yesterday after following you for some time and your recommendation on it

[@edwarda6912]

Thank you for this video!

[@DavidMausJr]

You are so welcome!

[@sushicharger]

David, I have a Cold Pliunge--if I drain and start from scratch, how much hydrogen peroxide to get started?

[@DavidMausJr]

Use a cup at first

[@DanKauk1979]

Great video! I bought the Ice Pod Pro since I’m new to cold plunges. If I were to purchase an Ozone Water Purifier would I still need the chemicals? And either way…how long and how many times would I run it through my cold plunge? I did purchase a water cooler for it so I have a consistent temp and water is always circulating. Thanks!

[@christopherlee9001]

Great video! Having a little trouble with my water in my desert plunge, I have been using 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide and I feel like my skin might be a little sensitive or just not used to it yet. I have been getting some small blisters on my hands. I bought the ozone to go with it, but currently have it set up in my basement and somewhat nervous about using it in the house around my family. I rinse off every time I use it and the water has been very clean and clear. I really enjoy having it in the house, just trying to dial in my water. Do you think the 1 cup is too much or too little? I have been plunging about 2-3 in the morning and about 1-2 min at night. Thanks for the awesome videos! Any recommendations would be sweet! Thanks ~ Chris

[@outlawx720]

Only use the 1 cup when necessary. The ozone does the majority.

[@djpx]

Any tips to insulate the 400?

[@DavidMausJr]

I ordered the silly penguin sleeve thing to see if it actually works, once i get it i will post a video on it.

[@matthewcecka4267]

Great video David! Would the Ozone Generator work with the ice barrel 500 in the garage?

[@matthewcecka4267]

Is 38,000 mg/h for an ozone generator too high? I’m looking at the black one on Amazon for like $150ish

[@DavidMausJr]

For sure! Running mine this weekend

[@stelioskyprou5166]

Thank David for this! If you have the UV light you have in your amazon list, how often would you run it for, for a ~100 gallon cold plunge? Can it run just overnight vs 24/7?

[@jesseh.saunders2112]

David I got my plunge xl about two weeks ago. I've been loving it but after about a week the water gets cloudy. Do you think adding some hydrogen peroxide to it weekly will fix this? I get in clean to the tub every time so I'm not sure what's causing it.

[@DavidMausJr]

Hey! Just replied to your other comment! Do you use any of the other chemicals? I am a fan of HP for sure.

[@Go2Sleep911]

How do i get a plunge t shirt

[@DavidMausJr]

They gave them out at Wodapalooza. Its a great shirt, fits and feels great (like the plunge itself)

[@Go2Sleep911]

How else lol

[@DavidMausJr]

@@Go2Sleep911 Wish I knew

[@erniekanekoa9717]

Hi Dave. I just picked up the All In Plunge. Can you tell me exactly what to use to keep my water Chrystal clean. So far I’ve been following what the plunge manufacturers have recommended, and been rinsing off prior to getting in. I’d rather do it the way your video has suggested because I prefer not to use their products. Can you specifically tell me the exact amounts of each of your products, the brand, and how often to do it. Should I use the test strips to see what the values of the water chemistry is, or no need to do it now? Thank you! Aloha Mike M. from Honolulu, Hawaii

[@DavidMausJr]

Hey Mike! Awesome! I have a link in this video for my suggested Cleaning Kit for all cold plunges, that should have everything I use. for you specifically: 1. Use a hose filter when filling (you probably already did that) 2. Rinse off EVERY TIME and Skim things floating around as soon as you see them. 3. Use a CUP of Hydrogen Peroxide, food grade is what I use. 4. Use 5 drops of the Water Stabilizer 5. Let the Plunge do its thing. It will automatically pump in a small amount of ozone regularly and your water should remain crystal clear. No need for additional chemicals yet. Let me know how that works and if you want to do a quick call i can do that through IG @dmausjr

[@erniekanekoa9717]

Thanks Dave. Should I dump the old water, and refill with brand new water and start off with your system, or can I just continue with the old water. The existing water has been in for about 9 weeks so far. Ty

[@erniekanekoa9717]

Hey Dave I’m having issues getting to your link. Just one more question, and I should be fine. I know you said every week put in a cup of hydrogen peroxide. How often do I put 5 drops of the water stabilizer?

[@DavidMausJr]

@@erniekanekoa9717 If the water is murky and smells you might want to start over. Just a cup of HP upon the fill up and the drops when you fill it up. I dont add HP to the plunge that often, the ozone does a great job. I only add some when it starts to murk up or smell, which shouldnt happen if you are rinsing off

[@erniekanekoa9717]

Thanks Dave!!😊

[@jonathankvex]

Have you dealt with tiny bugs getting in your plunges? I've got tons of gnats that continually go into my Ice Barrel 300. I keep the lid on whenever I'm not using it. I'm trying out some bug catcher/killer things right now, but curious if you've come across it. Normal skimmers don't get them out because they're too small. I've been using a cheese cloth filter.

[@DavidMausJr]

Dang! No I haven’t had anything like that, some spiders. They always find the water.

[@jonathankvex]

@@DavidMausJr thanks for the response. I’m going to try spraying some natural insect repellent on the ice barrel to see if that deters them. Hopefully it’s just a seasonal thing.

[@ricardoleon3777]

Been looking for info if I can use Hydrogen Peroxide & the Ice Barrel Water Stabilizer .. ill start with 3 drops. My IB Water Stabilizer has white flakes on the bottom. Again, I can't find anything about this. Reached out to support and have yet to hear back. But are the white flakes normal.

[@AlbertVasquez4Homes]

Is that a infrared sauna in the corner?

[@DavidMausJr]

Haha yea it’s one I got on amazon about 5 years ago and did a little DIY to make it a hot sauna. It gets to 200. I was just in it.

[@AlbertVasquez4Homes]

@@DavidMausJr nice 💪

[@Sugarr-Shanee]

Hey David, I scooped up the ice barrel 300! Any suggestions on where to find a lid?!

[@DavidMausJr]

It should come with one?!

[@Sugarr-Shanee]

@@DavidMausJr I bought this one off a guy, in the box with no lid for 400$. Didn’t see the lids were sold out🫤🥴

[@Sugarr-Shanee]

Got an extra ya wanna send to Arizona for a loyal fan? lol 😂

[@ChrisNaghibi]

Yo! Well timed. I just took delivery of my Ice Barrel 500. Waiting on the chiller from them due to ship in April from their last email. Would you by any change know if that has a self-contained ozone and/or filtration system in it? If not, I need to start exploring those options.

[@JustinandElana]

We have the 500. Ice barrels chiller does not have ozone. I got the ozone unit that David covered before and plumbed it in. I used a 3/4 inch T at the top where the water goes into the plunge. Plumed the water in one port of the T and then used a 5/16 compressing fitting with some bushings to running the ozone line straight in thru the T and into the barrel and turned down as soon as the line is in the barrel and down towards the bottom close to the drain port area. I run it on a timer 40 min at night. So far so good!

[@brandonsimon2804]

I just ordered one.. how long did it take for you to get yours? Says 4-5 weeks but I’m hoping that’s not the case lol

[@JustinandElana]

I just checked and ours came in 5 weeks to the day.

[@higherstandardpodcast]

@@JustinandElana you haha pictures anywhere I could check out? I searched for that ozone and it is sold out or can’t ship to California. Thank you for the reply! Super helpful.

Hi，Can we review the ozone machine next? I sent you an email and hope you can check it out during your busy schedule. Thank you so much💕💕💕💕

[@DavidMausJr]

Sure thing!

[@JamesChung2000]

Thanks David. Let me recap what you said... 1. Rince each time before use 2. Skim the debris after each use 3. A cup of hydrogen peroxide weekly 4. Add a few drops of water stabilizer weekly 5. Oxidize the water daily for 1 hour 6. Keep it covered

[@DavidMausJr]

You do this you should have crystal clear water at all times. Don’t do a cup of HP weekly unless needed. The ozone 1 hr daily should do a majority of the trick.

[@ellenforgett4880]

@@DavidMausJrHi. Thank you so much for your video. I am a newbie owner of the cold plunge tub and only user. I shower before use. I’m so frustrated with their lack a clear instructions for maintenance. Originally I thought I didn’t need any chemicals for it, but after it arrived, all the instructions said to buy the sirona products…so I did. I’d really prefer to only use the HP and stabilizer, but not sure if I need a cup every week? How do I know when I need them? Do you use test strips? Thank you!

[@notoriousynwa1865]

My plunge is indoors and keep it clean, how often do I need to change out the water?

[@DanUpshaw]

What does it mean to have stabilized water? What is actually happening to the water? Thanks!

[@iChis23]

I built my grizzly as you know we’ve talked before and I was wondering why you only use 3% Hydro peroxide? I’ve been using 35% and I just add 1/4 of a cup weekly do you recommend adding that stabilizer or do you see that the hydroxide does a good enough job?

[@DavidMausJr]

Its just slightly cleaner, but you can use 35%. I think using it and the stabilizer together works great. It can really be your preference.

[@jasonobrien6092]

Love you content Maybe you can answer my query. I’ve built a diy cold plunge and I’m wondering would it be better to filter my water through the canister filter set up. before it enters my water cooler to save hair and dirty getting into my chiller. I noticed that when I’m looking at your set up you pump the water into the chiller then out to the filter before flowing into the plunge

[@DavidMausJr]

My ideas setup is the flow goes like this: ->Filter->Pump->Chiller->

[@johnwallace8532]

Just a tip for anyone wanting to use ozone, make sure it's outside, in a garage, or in a very well ventilated area. I have an indoor DIY chest freezer plunge that I keep in my bedroom with UV instead of ozone. It works great and is much safer for indoor use!

[@DavidMausJr]

Great tip! In my Kit I also have a UV Filter for people who like that route, its great on Chest Freezers or any Ice Bath without water moving constantly. and Yes, dont ever hang around and/or inhale Ozone.

[@Boogiiie]

Can you use uv filter with ice bath that had water moving constantly?

[@DavidMausJr]

For sure! A great option

[@ericeckley5615]

My uv filter has a built-in pump with in it and it keeps my water moving consistently. I bought it off of a recommendation from David Moss Jr, and it has made a difference. About to start using the hydrogen peroxide and when the water stabilizer gets here that he recommended I’m going to start using that as well and just like him I also live in Florida. Thanks DavidmausJr.

[@DavidMausJr]

@@ericeckley5615 Awesome! That little UV light actually works pretty great!
