Dynamic Cold Therapy 316 Stainless Steel Cold Plunge Barrel

No, the tub can be used without a chiller by filling it with cold tap or ice water. Adding a chiller allows you to maintain consistent cold temperatures, which is ideal for daily routines or long-term use.

Plunging 2-4 times a week for a few minutes per session can be enough to experience benefits. We recommend starting slowly and to build your tolerance over time. Check out our blog for science-based, detailed protocols.

A general guideline is to start with 1-2 minutes per session and then slowly increase as tolerance improves. It’s important to listen to your body—if you feel excessively uncomfortable, it’s time to get out. Check out our blog for science-based, detailed protocols.

This varies depending on personal preference, but most users find temperatures between 37°F and 55°F to be effective. Start warmer and adjust to find the right temperature for you.

Yes, most cold plunges can be used both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor setups, it's best to keep the unit covered, out of direct sunlight, and avoid exposure to freezing temperatures. Indoor installations should be on waterproof flooring with proper drainage and ventilation. Provide at least 36” of ventilation space when using a chiller and avoid enclosed areas

Ensure the drain is closed and all plugs or hoses are secure. Use a garden hose to fill the tub to 2/3–3/4 full, or until the water inlet is submerged if using a chiller. Avoid overfilling to prevent overflow.

Use the quick-connect hoses provided, making sure gaskets are in place and Teflon tape is applied. Connect “INLET” on the chiller to “OUT” on the tub, and vice versa.

Yes, but longer hoses may reduce cooling efficiency and increase condensation. Keep runs as short as possible and manage moisture buildup as needed. Always use insulated hoses if extending the distance.

Place the chiller on a flat, level surface with at least 36 inches of clearance behind it for ventilation. If the chiller was tipped during delivery or moved, let it stand upright for 20 minutes before powering on to avoid internal damage. Keep it level with the plunge tub for proper water flow and never install it in enclosed or unventilated spaces.

The chiller runs on a standard 120V / 15AMP outlet and includes a built-in GFCI reset button. However, the manufacturer still recommends using a GFCI-protected outlet on a dedicated circuit, especially for outdoor or wet-area installations. When in doubt, consult a licensed electrician to ensure safety and code compliance.

Without a chiller, change the water every 3–5 days. With a chiller and proper treatment, water can last 2–4 weeks. Replace sooner if the water appears cloudy.

Remove the drain cap or press the floor plug if equipped. You can also connect a garden hose using an optional adapter. Always drain fully before cleaning or storing.

Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Clean inlet/outlet ports with a soft brush to prevent buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools.

Yes, you can use chlorine or chlorine-free alternatives to maintain water quality and increase the length of time between water changes. Always test pH (ideal range: 7.2–7.8) and avoid using bromine, which can damage components. Follow all chemical instructions carefully.

Filter changes depend on multiple factors, but manufacturer guidelines suggest every 20 plunges (~2-3 weeks of moderate usage) or sooner if the water flow slows down, the filter looks dirty, or the chiller is noisier than usual.

Turn off the pump and close the inlet/outlet valves on the tub. Use the included wrench to unscrew the filter housing, swap in a new filter, and re-tighten. Be sure the gasket is properly in place before restarting to avoid leaks.
