@zaharafreeman4694 9 месяцев назад

TLDL: buy a freezer you fit in, dont skimp due to price. get one wo metal on the inside (only plastic). fill the drain hole with sealant to make sure no leaks. fish pump + ozone to sanitze (absolute must) maybe get 2 ozone pumps one on each side. make sure you have a cleaning process streamlined with a strong pump. otherwise your cleaning takes too long at 6 min time stamp. Nail your timer so the temp is the same all the time.

you could set up a pid temperature controller to turn it off and on instead of using a timer. With pid temperature controller you would set the temperature you want it to turn on at and temperature you would want it to shut off at and it would keep it in that range always

@MycoTrophic Год назад

Like an inkbird?

@Adrian-qr4ol Год назад

Inkbird would work perfectly

@tz7813 Год назад

Pay $15 for an Elitech STC-1000. Easy to fit, and worked perfectly now for over 2 years. I set my freezer to switch on at 4 degrees and switch off at 5 degrees. I have a small pool, so I just use the chlorinated pool water, and change it out every month, so no need for a filtration system. Again, zero hassle. I don’t know why anyone would purposefully block the drain plug? Just wrap the outside plug in PTFE plumbers tape, and its completely watertight, but can still be easily removed for draining.

Looked high and low for a foot locker style trunk to store my daughter's dress up clothes. ru-vid.comUgkxRkkpE1_3gMEZ2mPhAt6b2moNCUXyH8tG I had one growing up that I stored my Barbies in and wanted something sturdy like that for her costumes. This arrived really, really quickly and is exactly what I've been looking for. Perfect size, color (pink) and has stood up for nearly a year so far against my kids using it as a chair, stage, and barricade (😬) to keep each other out of their rooms. I'm probably going to order another one for my daughter's Barbies.

I bought a $25 pump that hooks to your drill and a hose, I run the hose from my cold tank to the end of my back yard or the edge of the road (guess it depends where you live etc) but I syphon out the water that way whenever I want and it’s a piece of cake.

I have a great sauna already built in a house I have brought , with a shower just outside the door , in this house the natural water out of the tap is pretty cold , I’m just weighing up how much work / advantages there would be making my own cold plunge as opposed to just having cold showers .

@john99776 Месяц назад

I don't think they compare. In a plunge you're really surrounded with cold. I keep mine at 39F, but my cold tap water is only 60F. Plus a cold shower just feels horrible while not being as effective. Your experience may vary.

@HellasGoon Год назад

@colinbroos5176 3 месяца назад

Put a filter on your freezer temperature controller and ozone machine, saves changing the water. I put everything through the lid and it works great. The other thing is use good sealant and l used a water proof 2 pack paint on top of sealant and l have no leaks. Have fun with your cold plunging.

@patricksullivan381 2 года назад

@jarrodaltenborg3956 3 года назад

I got the ozone, water pump, sealant, and timer and I understand that I'll be using the timer to turn on and off the actual freezer, but do you also have a separate timer for the ozone and water pump or how do you turn those on in the night automatically? Thanks

@john99776 Месяц назад

Good question. Get an Inkbird temp controller instead of a timer. You can set the desired temp directly with that. Get an ozonater that is programmable itself. Set up your electrical cords so that the ozonater always stays on to maintain the program (no wires go to the tub, only ozone). The Inkbird supplies power to the freezer when it needs to. Set up the aquarium pump to stay on, except when you pull the plug to the Inkbird before getting in, when your plug setup will cut the power to the aquarium pump also - thus no electric to the plunge before getting in. Use a separate battery alarm timer nearby to tell you when you want to get out.

@jacob1121 Год назад

You can also add some epsom salt to lower the freezing point of water.

@tanodamorire 11 месяцев назад

Just curious, wouldn't it be better to use the drain system of the freezer to change the water? Why sealing it? Would it leak otherwise?

@john99776 Месяц назад

Yes, it would probably leak, because you have a couple of feet of water weight pressing down on it. It's only built for nuisance water that may get into a food freezer, not for taking pressure.

@emilwalker9328 Год назад

Thanks for these videos, they've been super helpful! I bought the Frigidaire chest secondhand and it seems to heat up a lot when cooling, have you had this issue at all? I know they're support to heat up as they absorb the heat from the inside but mine seems to get almost too hot to touch!

No I think some freezers just have different wall material. Some have painted steel some are plastic and some have dimpled shiny aluminum. I think it's a good bet that you should probably seal all the seems regardless. I would think that the aluminum ones would be nice but I don't know

Greetings and thank you for the awesome content. Quick question...My 14.8 chest freezer is arriving with coasters/wheels. Will they be okay with the added weight? Thanks!

@wellnessdaddy 3 года назад

hard to say, a full plunge with water is around 700 pounds, so maybe not. hope it helps

@data-science-ai 3 года назад

I made a platform for mine so that the weight was distributed equally. I cut out space in the platform so that I could keep the wheels on but also that the weight was off of the wheels. I would not be distributing the weight of the cold plunge on the wheels. It's dangerous and you could damage the freezer unit.

@BrazBlue 2 года назад

how did the wheels go, i did some quick density load calcs for 14.8 cubic feet of water/human body you will have up to 900 pounds inside the freezer, plus 100-200 pounds for the freezer. i would want the wheels to be rated for 300 pounds per minimum. and realistically 500 pounds per wheel rating to accept shifting weight as you get in and out.

Why not use the Drain hole.to set up a Filter pump with return hole on the opposite side? Then you can eliminate Ozone nonsense. Anyways how does Ozone minimize dirt and skin from making water contaminated?

@jasonunruh9605 2 года назад

Whats the point in the ozone machine? I took your advice and got everything you suggested. I even spent 1400$ on a Frigidaire 25 cu ft chest freezer(all i could find around me) and it seems to me the ozone machine creates a green layer. It collects on the sides and i can wipe it off with a paper towel(kinda). Only thing i can think of thats causing it. I put about 10lbs of salt in mine so it cant be algae. This didn't appear till after i put ozone machine in water. I had it set to run 5 mins every 4 hrs. Never noticed anything green on the sides. Then set it to 30 mins every 4 hrs and next day it was green all on the sides. So what's the point in the ozone machine?

@john99776 Месяц назад

Are you running the aquarium pump constantly? What temp is the water? Start over and leave out the salt - it may have contained some contaminant.

@patrickverbockel2597 Год назад

In your other videos, you show your tub using the Aqua-6 Ozone Generator. However, when you go on their website, it specifically says this ozone generator is not suitable for cold plunge tubs and to use the MP-3000 Ozone Generator. Do you have to buy the $4000 ozone generator vs the $90 one?

@liltuff7303 Год назад

Yes the $4000 is the go too that's what we all are using. Ask mum for a loan lad. Thank me later

@jonnyl2001 Год назад

Ozone is expensive and doesnt remain in solution long. Hypochlorite (bleach) can achieve the same goals with a smaller budget. (Think pools and your municipal water). To achieve a higher level you can also look in to UV lamps. Also, both Ozone and bleach can be inhalation hazards as well as highly corrosive. Proper levels of bleach disinfect longer than ozone.

@tylersingleton7992 Год назад

stay away from chlorine, ozone will kill all germs, so will h202 food grade. no bad bacteria or viruses can survive in an oxygenated environment, if you shower and are clean before getting in maybe dump once every month or two if doing daily use.

Water is more temp stable than air in a freezer. The freezer turns on and off less with the Inkbird cycling a cold plunge than it would being used to freeze food.

@juliahager8794 2 года назад

Does your deep plunge get fine silt or sediment at the bottom? I have the ozone and air pump and run it daily however I can’t determine where the sediment of coming from. I can send a picture, let me know where to send it.

@jonnyl2001 Год назад

Ozone (O3) can take naturally occuring sulfides out of suspension through oxidation and leave them as sediment deposits. Unless you used deionized water for your plunge, which in that case idk what you have.

@john99776 Месяц назад

Run an aquarium filter to circulate and trap that stuff.

@fleurhanley5805 Год назад

You mention that a plastic interior is better than metal. Pretty much all of the freezers I have seen are silver inside. But someone said that most look silver but are actually plastic. Is this the case?

So if its not about how cold the water is but just that its cold, wouldn't a cold shower suffice as well?

depending on where you live it could work, but i just love the full body immersion experience of a cold plunge

@max8141 2 года назад

Anything that creates the adrenaline response is what you’re aiming for. A cold shower is more than sufficient, yes. Do not stand still in the shower; keep your body moving. It keeps you colder that way, which is what you want.

@john99776 Месяц назад

But it does matter what temp. And a shower doesn't cover your body like immersion does.

GREAT VIDEO THANKS! QUESTION: 40? 45? What about 52? You say there's no competition for HOW COLD and I agree. I just want to go as cold as it takes to get the benefits and NO MORE. I have heard 52 and even 54, but you're talking about the 40's. That sounds HARD. I have done 52 and it was very bearable. It also made me feel amazing all day. SO I def wanna do this but with MAXIMUM benefits..

There aren't alot of studies on it past 48 degrees Wim Hof recommends as cold as you can bear once you get to 15min lengths

@DallasMichaelCyr 6 месяцев назад

Pardon my lack of understanding. If the water is super cold why would We be worried about harmful things growing in it? Especially if we're getting in and out of it clean each time? And why wouldn't we want to maybe seal around the drain but then close it with a cap so we can still have the drain and just replace the water every couple weeks? Seems that, with the temperature control would be all you would need. 🤔

@john99776 Месяц назад

Algae will still grow. Ask anyone who lives in Washington state. The drain will tend to leak because of the water weight. Easier to just use a pump to empty the tub versus chasing annoying leaks.
