    Ive watched about 25 videos so far and yours is by far the best, thanks!!!! Much appreciated

    Looks great! I considered a freezer but went the open plunge route. Next I'll get a filter system set up. Considering its summer now, ill use the water exchange to help water the lawn.
  • @john99776
    Excellent advice. I'm glad that I had done all correctly prior to watching this. A chest freezer plunge is definitely the way to go - other options are worse and exorbitantly expensive.
  • This is awesome! Thanks so much! I am looking into doing this so that I can have a cold plunge at my house and be able to be more consistent
  • @robcday1
    Well that clears it all up. Well done. Thanks

    Great video. I'm about to make a cold plunge, I'm purchasing a chest freezer with temperature settings, so I don't have to worry about separate temperature controllers and don't have to worry about the water freezing over. Then I'm taking it to my local Line-X distributor who will be lightly sanding back the surface, silicon-ing the seams, and then covering it in Line-X. This does cost AUD$750 extra, but the seal on the unit should last for ever and is much safer, as it a) should never leak, and b) is a coating that doesn't conduct electricity. Still working on what to do buy way of filtration and hygiene, hence my watching this video. Side note, I just finished the video and I didn't think about additional support under the base of the freezer, good tip.

    I watched a lot of videos freezer ice bath convert this one this best
  • @spdrcr5
    I normally have no desire to do a cold plunge, but after the heat index down here in Louisiana the past month, it would feel amazing after I mow my lawn!
  • Thanks man! I was thinking to get a freezer and after watching this changed my mind. I am not going to get a freezer as I don't have enough space for it
  • @Blkswan911
    Lol entire time I was thinking about how easily you could get electrocuted!! Lol didnt even think of unplugging it! Such invaluable advise!! Thank you for the content btw!!!
  • @ethand7385
    Very good video, and very much appreciated! Thanks!
  • @Dcrainmaker
    Super interesting…kinda tempted! Well done!
  • @Trashczar
    You can also buy a fabric or plastic pond liner and cut it to the dimensions of your freezer. This is water tight and you can clean it whenever you empty the water. I did this and I also used JB WW for extra protection. The wifi Inkbird is awesome, you can monitor and change water temp from the app on your phone.
  • you are a Pro my friend! thank you very much for the tips, I recently bought a freezer and though I could just dive in and do the ice baths but I still have a lot of work to do
  • @orcunsarmis2959
    Thanks for amazing details, I feel lucky to come across your video. I got pretty much similar set as your, but I need your help to keeping my water clean. CCould you please share more details about your pump/filter system. I know it looks pretty straight forward, just make sure if I am doing all right. take care
