Ozone vs UV Clarifier | DIY Ultimate Cold Plunge for Ice Bath Therapy | Hands-On Meditation

Wondering whether you should get an Ozone Generator or UV Light Clarifier to keep your Cold Plunge clean? Take an inside look at each, learn how they work and compare the results after three weeks of use. Below, you'll find product links to both systems, along with the headbands to help you sleep better.
// WHY COLD PLUNGE?
The benefits of cold therapy have been practiced for over 1,000 years. More information at www.npr.org/sections/health-s...
// TEMPERATURE
A good temperature for your cold plunge is around 50°F. No need to go much colder. The benefits - like noradrenaline production - begin at 60°F water exposure.
!!! WARNINGS: BE SAFE: ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE FREEZER HAS NO POWER (IS UNPLUGGED) WHEN YOU ARE USING THE COLD PLUNGE - AND REMOVE THE FREEZER DOOR LOCK !!!

🛒 UV Light Clarifier amzn.to/44uVzBr or alternative amzn.to/4b6SD1v
🛒 Ozone Generator amzn.to/3D2TtNI
!!! NEVER RUN THE OZONE GENERATOR INDOORS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME BECAUSE YOU CAN BUILD UP UNSAFE LEVELS!!! I used to only run the ozone for 10 minutes after each use, and a couple more times during the day and night for 5 minutes. Now I recommend using a UV Clarifier instead of an Ozone Generator. It's safer and cheaper. See video • Ozone vs UV Clarifier ...

[@Weisheiten_zum_Nachdenken]

An jeden der das liest… Du bist wunderbar! ♥️

[@johnwallace8532]

Would love a video of how to setup the uv, pump, and filter! Thanks for the video!

[@HandsOnMeditation]

Have you looked at my other videos on this channel? I include diagrams in the video description.

[@Zenfit2000]

Sorry if I missed this in your other videos…have you considered running the submerged pond pump to the pleated filter then this UV clarifier all within the freezer submerged instead of piping out? I am trying to research hard plumbing it with unions and pvc for compact design and service. Thanks for all your content. Excited to build my plunge

[@HandsOnMeditation]

They make a submersible UV clarifier, I don’t know if the filter unit can be used in water, but it will get pretty cluttered inside the cold plunge if you have that way. You’ll have to do some research and play around. Have you watched my other videos? I show you some various Options

[@Zenfit2000]

Thank you for the response…loving all the videos and doing research. Thanks again

[@EliKonsta]

Hey great video! What flow rate is your pool pump?

[@HandsOnMeditation]

In this setup, I am using 1,000gph. amzn.to/3R3QNri Have you watched my other cold plunge videos?

[@davidmcchristian9861]

Is there any reason you dont run the ozone longer? 30mins/day, twice a day has my water beautiful. Havent had to change it in eight months.

[@HandsOnMeditation]

My cold plunge is indoors so I didn't want to run the ozone that long, but the ozone did work well.

[@normalguy7898]

Interesting. Are you trying to avoid chlorine?

[@HandsOnMeditation]

Exactly. I don’t use any chemicals.
