Want to improve your own Cold Plunge or Ice Bath even more? I'll walk you through the process to add plumbing - through the bottom of your freezer for a better setup. Learn to create an even more amazing cold water therapy experience.



!!! LOCATE COOLANT LINES !!!
Before you drill holes in your freezer you should review a diagram of your freezer or use a thermal imaging camera to ensure that you do not puncture a coolant line.



// WHY COLD PLUNGE?

The benefits of cold therapy have been practiced for over 1,000 years. The benefits of cold therapy have been practiced for over 1,000 years. More information at https://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.

!!! 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 !!!

🛒 Extra Long Thru-Hull Connector https://amzn.to/3eZ0bMy
*Note: If your freezer floor is thicker than my example, you may need longer Thru-Hulls. There are a variety available online. This one is longer but will require a barb adapter to connect the hose. https://www.greatlakesskipper.com/mak...

🛒 Sikaflex - Nautical Sealant https://amzn.to/3VVv2KG

🛒 Pond Armor Paint (Optional) https://amzn.to/3eZLpVM

🛒 Color Texture Chips (Optional) https://amzn.to/3DtbpSY

🛒 Pump/Filter https://amzn.to/3N1FJas

🛒 UV Light Clarifier https://amzn.to/44uVzBr

🛒 Ozone Generator https://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 | DIY Ultimate ...
