DIY Ultimate Cold Plunge | How To Ice Bath Wim Hof Style Cold Therapy | Cheap Freezer Hacks & Tips

part1, here's a quick look at the overall setup off to the side there's. an infrared sauna i, painted the ceiling black added string lighting and a heater there. are privacy curtains surrounding and the back, added a towel rack and here's the chest. freezer that acts as the cold plunge we'll go ahead, and open it up and. take a look you can also see that i've used half a cedar pallet wood, to build. the inside of the tank and the other half of it is cedar wood to make it look like you're going to be. in a pool or spa you'll want to make sure it's completely waterproof. don't use regular kitchen and bathroom caulk marine sealant is a really good, option you. want to tape all the borders to keep from making a mess and follow the. directions, carefully on whatever product you use now you could just stop there and technically. you have a cold, blind for somewhere in the 300 range which is pretty amazing. but you'll probably want to add more, options so i'm going to tell you all. the different things i added and i'll supply links to, all the different products in. the video description if you really want to go the extra yard you, can coat. the entire inside with pond shield it's non-toxic it's built from marine life for marine life and it's. super, durable i also added color chips the type you usually see on garage floors. to add some texture, and a little color variation you definitely want to keep the. water clean and you'll have to change, the water constantly so you could add regular. bleach or peroxide some people add pump or spa chemicals, i chose to use an. above ground pool and pump filter combination and an ozone generator there are, lots of. options here from basic aquarium and pond pumps and filters to above ground. spa, pumps this is the above ground pump that i'm using and it comes with. a filter this is, the ozone generator it's a little overkill for this size because. it's actually built for a spa but, it does a good job killing bacteria and. it helps keep the water clear it doesn't come with, the plug for a standard. receptacle so i had to modify that but it's pretty easy this is a diagram of how to connect. the pump and the, ozone generator together i've included a detailed version of this in.the video description the water comes in, here it goes to the pump where it. gets filtered and it goes out at the venturi injector, ozone is added and then. it comes out into the ice plunge these are the ozone bubbles you can see. them coming into the water line and i extended it with some piping so it. goes, down to the far side of the aquarium tank you'll need to cut away some. of the freezer seal, and lid for the water hoses to come through and you. could add some rubber or insulation in, the back to help seal up that opening. i reduced the inch and a quarter pump hosing down, to these three quarter inch. tubes because they fit through better i attached the tubing to the sides, of cable. ties and you can either super glue or epoxy the cable tie mounts side of. the, tank i added a textured paint to the outside of the Cold plunge it. kind of gives it, a stucco feel and fits in with the rustic setting this. obviously isn't necessary but i like the, way it looked this is an aquarium thermometer. i used i glued it to the back of the. tank to keep it from leaking out of the bottom of the, tank and i added some. sealant to, make sure the sealant doesn't get in the way of the water going in and out. you can use any sealant you want to seal all of the seams to, the inside and the outside you can just use about three to four times a day when you can wash the. surface you can do the same thing to the inside you can get the same amount of time you need to do the outside. you. can use the same number of times as needed. this can be done at any time of the day or you can go to several times this can get you to several. hours a day you can probably, find good deals online at places like american freight especially if. you search for scratched and dented chest, freezers i got mine for about 350 dollars. it, you'll also need a large chest freezer 14.8 cubic feet is a good size or. larger you can usually, find a. larger one for. larger than you'd expect but, you can lower if you know
