Why & How to Use OZONE in a Cold Plunge

[@DavidMausJr]

What has been your personal experience with ozone in a cold plunge?

[@kennys223]

The Desert Plunge is awesome! Shipping was fast and customer service is great! Your videos were very helpful in making my decision to purchase the Desert Plunge. Thank you!

[@DavidMausJr]

🙌🏽❤️

[@DesertPlunge]

Thank you so much for your comment and business! We are excited to have you part of the Desert Plunge fam!

[@DesertPlunge]

Thank you for leaving another thoughtful and informative review David!

[@DavidMausJr]

My pleasure! Much love!

[@Timesplitter777]

Is there any reason you use 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide instead of 12% but just less of it? Please let me know thank you!!!

[@W4TCH3R.]

Anything above 3% becomes an irritant as its too potent

[@Timesplitter777]

@@W4TCH3R. can’t you just use less to make it more efficient??? It says you can dilute it on the bottle to use like 3% usually

[@W4TCH3R.]

@Timesplitter777 Yeah that's fine 👍

[@jaycohen5482]

Dave, bought the Desert Plunge, it's excellent, Matt and Brie are super. Loving the plunge, thanks for the great review.

[@DavidMausJr]

Great to hear!

[@ClaytonGambrel]

I use it in my truck with my hunting stuff for the smells. Cool video I didn't know you could ozone in water

[@mikecahill4151]

I am curious if anyone has heard or experienced any degradation on any chiller parts from using Ozone in the long term. I have heard they can discolor tubes, which I am sure is fine but is this the tube slowly breaking down? Thoughts?

[@DavidMausJr]

I have ozone and use it in almost every tub i have used and never had any issues with this or even noticed anything wrong

[@OGmatt123]

how much peroxide should i add to the desert plunge and how often should i, do you just simply pour into plunge ?

[@dionj682]

Is there an automated time release ozone generator like the one desert plunge uses that you’d recommend which could be integrated into your ice barrel 500 diy? I’d like something that I can set and forget vs having an unintegrated ozone unit that has to be actively managed.

[@stephenarseneault9055]

What about using UV instead?

[@DavidMausJr]

UV is great too. Need to do a deeper dive and compare the two

[@JujuPig-vz5mq]

I asked for a UV system in the hot tub that I was going to purchase but the dealer explained to me that UV doesn't make that much of a difference if there is an ozonator in the hot tub already & also an ozonator is going to work better than the ultraviolet light,, this advice from the dealer also pertained to cold plunging units.

[@tdeeez]

@@JujuPig-vz5mq Seems to be a fair point from what I've heard. I have both just for water longevity.

[@karlbrenzel1365]

I've ordered the Plunge Pod with the Pro chiller, which has an ozone generator built in. I will have the Pod and chiller in my basement. Do you see any issues with having this setup in the house? FYI, my basement is 2200 square feet with 9 foot ceilings.

[@an.20.24]

Uhm...thank you so much for the video. One question: let's say I run my ozone right after my bath, for an hour. Should I keep the cold plunge covered or not? I suppose if you keep the lid on, maybe the ozone wouldn't go away...Am I wrong?

[@robertgarvansnyder4665]

To clarify, David, your Active Aqua chiller is just out in the open, getting rained on or whatever, and you’ve had no issues? I picked one up for my setup in Oregon, deciding whether I’ll need to move it inside, or if it can handle the elements. Obviously, our climate is a bit different than Florida.

[@CraigHuggart-ye4rl]

With the generator you use, it is okay to leave the hose in (unit not on) overnight?

[@DavidMausJr]

Yes for sure!

[@yaboyjacob3003]

So should i run ozone everyday if im using my ice bath everyday or run it once a week?

[@DavidMausJr]

I would if possible. If its not too much to do

[@jessesmith0]

What brand do you use for your water filter for your hose? And what’s a good ozone generator brand that you recommend?

[@brettdavid2082]

When researching ozone machines, they all have different ratings, what rating minimum to her effective?

[@jleblanc2shsu]

Do you need the water circulating, or can you just use the ozone generator? New to plunging, thanks in advance.

[@DavidMausJr]

It’s nice to have it moving but not entirely necessary

[@jleblanc2shsu]

Thanks so much for the reply!

[@Go2Sleep911]

Hey David, thanks for this video. Now i know you also have the Plunge. I as well. That ozonator is plumbed inline and always on. Now I have my plunge inside and when i pull cover off to use i get that pungent whiff of ozone. Have to walk away a few minutes. Have you considered trying to put some sore of timer on the plunge Ozone system? Seems a little challenge since it’s all wired together and plugged into the power bank in the power box. Just wondering your thoughts. Plunge on!

[@DavidMausJr]

Great question. Just double checked with the founder. Response From Mike the founder: He could add a timer to the power strip if the ozone smell is an issue. But we’ve tested it and it’s not a harmful amount of ozone. I’ve noticed the same smell and mine is in the garage. I do the same thing. I open it up for about a minute and get in.

[@Go2Sleep911]

@@DavidMausJr thanks for the reply and speaking with Mike.

[@yasirmotiwala]

Really appreciate all of your videos -- they've been extremely helpful! 1 question -- i see you've used both ozone generators and UV lights in different videos. which do you recommend between the two / why?

[@scottalexander9765]

Great video, thanks! Been enjoying the ozone generator you recommended in another video. How much hydrogen peroxide are you using and how often? Same question with stabilizer and is there one you recommend?

[@dano1242]

I grabbed the giant unit thinking the 40g was for the tube, turns out tube is only 500mg I found other units have 1000mg for the tube but state no more then 10gallons lol, there is some trade offs forsure, the big unit will work better for my car and sauna but found it to big for what i need with cold plunge at 500mg might as well save

[@ProjectInfluencers]

Question David. I’m thinking of buying a mod tub per your review! If I fill that thing up once, can I just replace the water like once very 6 months using your cleaning techniques? Peroxide and ozone?

[@DavidMausJr]

Yes, absolutely but you’ll need to change the filter

[@ronwinter45]

Hi David. Question do you have any experience with salt water generators vs ozone generators? Mine tub is indoors.

[@ryansmith9897]

Where is the link for this ozone unit?

[@DavidMausJr]

[@jesseh.saunders2112]

What about ozone on the Plunge? When does it release ozone?

[@DavidMausJr]

It releases a small amount, under 100mg per hour

[@guillermoortiz1492]

Was the ozone your deciding factor to go with dessert plunger over modtub?

[@DavidMausJr]

I personally get the chance to review almost all major cold plunge companies. I do love the slight differences the Desert Plunge offers for the money but I also love to let everyone make their own choices.

[@cnw-jd9tt]

Price point is much better then others

[@MelissaJ-kw7if]

Hi I have a question about the ozone generator. I want to buy The original one you reviewed (ALdious) but it is no longer available. I noticed you recommended another but the link is for a bigger unit, I am wondering If the JOBYNA would be ok to get in the 28,000 or I need the 40,000 in that brand? Thank you

[@DavidMausJr]

Great question! They keep selling out. Just make sure any that you get have that water feature and the bubble rock. You should be fine. The bigger the number the shorter the time needed to use to be effective.

[@watermeli1059]

Great thank you!

[@huckstarxc]

I wonder if a UV sterilizer like what you use in a saltwater aquarium would work just as well as ozone.

[@DavidMausJr]

very effective. Ive used those too. Ozone is the best ive used though

[@bryancorkins9310]

@@DavidMausJr We were just talking about tertiary filtration (Chlorine, Uv and OZONE) which is the last stage of waste water treatment. You might remember the plant in between Greenwood Lake and Lake Mary. I had my former students tour this facility as part of AP Environmental Science. The tertiary process is a disinfectant like you said rather than use chemicals more natural processes would involve UV and Ozone. Cool Stuff.

[@DaniToth-xb8oq]

hi are you planning on reviewing the new plunge evolve air pro?

[@DavidMausJr]

For sure!! Just waiting on it to come

[@billseverance5217]

If you accidentally run you ozone for say 12 hours, don’t need to replace the water or just wait an extended period of time to use the tub?

[@tomrooney8939]

David… bought a 300 yesterday using your coupon. Now researching chillers…active aqua, eco plus… any others you recommend? Live in Massachusetts and will only use chiller from April - November. Thanks

[@DavidMausJr]

Awesome congrats!! I have you covered here: dmjr.co/500diykit everything works with the 300 and 500 perfectly

[@FiveStar2k]

How long are you using that Amazon ozone generator because I bought the same one and it does not get the job done ..someone said it doesn’t work because of the depth of the ice bath and recommend Jed 303.. do you still recommend what your using?

[@DavidMausJr]

I’ve used for over a year and works great!

[@iChis23]

So I’ve watched almost everyone your videos love the information by the way. I’m running 35% H2O2 and I’ve seen that you said this is all you use and sometimes you put the Ice Barrel water stabilizer in, but now I see you say that you only use the ozone. Which one do you prefer? I’ve been running no ozone for three months now and wondering if I should switch over to that and stop using H2O2?

[@DavidMausJr]

I experiment with different things in the different setups I have. I typically only use hydrogen peroxide. Some have or I also throw my Ozone generator in as well. Then some with less filtration (like my Ice Barrel DIYs) I also throw a few drops of the water stabilizer in. A combo of all three works great but also just using ozone or H202 also works great. Its up to you.

[@joebower1417]

Seems like a pretty cool thing. Do you have any links for an ozone generator you recommend? I have a cold plunge barrel and chiller by Spartan Willpower but they didn't come with an Ozone hook up

[@stephenanderson1358]

What about a uv sterilizer

[@DavidMausJr]

I’ve used those too but the ozone just works better

[@Pappamea81]

I have the one at 6:15, it’s awesome!

[@DavidMausJr]

Works great!

Hello David,one more try electrolytic ozone water machine to have a bath in 30minutes,really worth trying

[@buchanan553]

I ended up getting the BoxPlunge and because the lid seals so tight I can smell the ozone in the morning. I have it in my basement and setup a box fan to get rid of the ozone and smell. When I first set it up I had no idea what ozone was or that I was running and I got very dizzy. Great video, answered a lot.

[@DavidMausJr]

Dang! So glad to put this info out. I was with you and had no idea what ozone was and felt dizzy too! One of the reasons I made this 🤙🏽
