We just got our plunge over here in West Virginia. They are totally transparent and helpful with how we wanted everything shipped. When you call, you get a person…. Immediately. They are so willing to help. I got the plunge and was unpacking with my wife, and then my dog wanted to help and ate an o ring. I had to get a replacement after my dog needed a snack and called while in Home Depot(btw they offered to ship a replacement we didn’t want to wait). Couldn’t find the part while they were on the phone and so the warehouse let me FaceTime them so I could find what I needed. What company does that?! THIS ONE! They are so stinking helpful and I am so impressed!
My name is Doug Christofis and I am the Curriculum and Training Coordinator for the Phoenix Police Department. My role for the department is recruit performance, health and wellness development. Along with health and wellness for the department.
I have been a believer in the benefits of cold water immersion (cold plunge therapy) for a long time and felt a need to bring this form of therapy to the academy for its benefits.
With a budget but a need for quality I was given the task to locate a quality tub and system.
Most tubs out there are expensive, which meant I would only be able to purchase one (not going to be useable with such a large department). The flip side was that the ones that were affordable were not the quality I was looking for.
That’s when I stumbled on Desert Plunge right here in Arizona. I did some research and realized these were the tubs for me. Price point was on and most importantly the quality was outstanding.
The other major attraction was that it was made for the environment we live in; which if you know Arizona it is harsh!
We purchased three for the health and wellness of the department. Well worth it, no regrets and extremely happy with them.
Thank you Desert Plunge!!
Respectfully,

Desert Plunge: The Ultimate Cold Therapy Experience
I’ve tried a few cold plunge setups before, but Desert Plunge stands in a league of its own. From the sleek, durable design to the consistent cooling performance, everything about it feels premium. It’s built for serious recovery, even in hot climates—something I didn’t think was possible until now.
I use it daily after my morning workouts, and the benefits have been incredible: reduced muscle soreness, faster recovery, improved sleep, and a noticeable lift in my mental clarity and mood. The setup was straightforward, and maintenance is minimal thanks to the built-in filtration and temperature control system.
What really sets Desert Plunge apart is the attention to detail. It looks great, runs quiet, and delivers exactly what it promises: deep, effective cold therapy you can count on.
If you’re serious about health and recovery, Desert Plunge is worth every penny.
Been looking at all the different cold plunges out in the market, went with Desert Plunge and added the ozone. Am more than pleased with the plunge all together. As a result, I purchased a second one for my wellness spa
So happy with the size and function. My husband is 5'9" and this sizes fits him perfect
I bought the original plunge and picked it up directly from the warehouse. The staff was friendly and helpful, the plunge is fantastic. Super easy to put together, just a simple connection job. All the fittings are aligned perfectly and I can see all the wisdom in the configuration that makes these plunges so great. I've had the plunge for just under two months and with the ozone addon + hydrogen peroxide the water is still crystal clear. It's so awesome to be able to hop right in the plunge, get cold, and keep going. Very, very happy with my purchase.
By far the best cold plunge option on the market. It withstood the Arizona summer, never dropping as much as 1 degree during the height of the summer highs. Maintenance is simple and the customer service is top.
We purchased our Desert Plunge Wide Grizzly 450 Cold Plunge about a month ago, using it daily since arrival. Two of my sons have assembled their own cold plunges, one with a stock tank and the other using the Grizzly 450. I had experimented with both tubs and after seeing the simplicity of utilizing the Grizzly 450 I was sold on the platform. I did a lot of research, watched a lot of YouTube reviews and read as many reviews as I could find on Desert Plunge. Besides the excellent reviews, the back story on why Matt and his wife started the business sold us on Desert Plunge.
Shipping, delivery and setup were as easy as the ordering process. The tub was ordered with the optional Ozone Generator pre-installed making for a professional and neat looking setup. We took the additional step of insulating all of the lines prior to doing the final assembly to reduce condensation, which has worked wonderfully. We were able to completely setup, fill and have the chiller cooling our tub within 30-45 minutes from the time it was taken off of the shipping pallet.
While the cost of the Desert Plunge was a little more than DIY, it was worth every penny to not spend the time tracking down, ordering, fitting and assembling the various parts necessary to start using our cold plunge. We are extremely pleased with our purchase from Desert Plunge.
I have now had the Desert Plunge with Ozone for 6 months and It has exceeded my original expectations. It has performed flawlessly and maintained temp regardless of the outside temperature. I finally drained and refilled with fresh water at the 6 month mark and probably didn't really need to as all the chemical markers on the test strip where normal and the water was crystal clear. Always ready 24/7 and the company has always responded to my Queries within 24 hours or even that day. When you get a product as well thought out as the Plunge and you get perfect customer service as well ,you have to leave a review. I actually would prefer a follow up review months later for the overall picture. And NO I am not affiliated to this company in any way. I just told my son in law to pull the trigger as he has been looking for months and this is the best value/quality on the market.

Love my Desert Plunge, super easy set up, high quality and really simple to maintain with the ozone and water filter. Couldn't recommend it enough!
The wide grizzly plunge is amazing. Plenty of space for me to get in, fully submerge and embrace the cold. At 6'2 with wide shoulders the wide plunge ensures that I am not touching the sides when in the plunge. I do have to bring my legs out to dunk my head, but that is not the end of the world. I highly recommend this plunge for everyone!
I have been cold plunging for a decade. Did many years of bathtub plunges with ice, and a few years ago got a portable ice bath for outside. One of the cheap ones that are basically just vinyl. It worked decent during winter months but was essentially useless in the Southern California heat for 7-8 months out of the year. I wanted to invest in something a bit better and I began the long search of different options. I tossed around getting many different kinds but they all had their drawbacks and some came with massive price points. On top of that I was concerned with the water remaining cold and not overworking the chiller as it would be stored outside. That’s when I came across some videos that David Maus Jr had put out and I really liked the simple setup that Desert Plunge offered. I pulled the trigger and purchased one in August of 2024. This thing is amazing. The insulation is fantastic and keeps the water freezing cold even while the heat and sun are baking the outside of it. The chiller runs effortlessly and maintenance has been super easy. If you pick one up, make sure to opt for the Ozone. It’s been great and no need to add anything else to the water. I now use the plunge everyday and have it set at 39 degrees.
I recently purchased the Grizzly Cold Plunge Tub in gray from Desert Plunge, and I couldn't be happier with it. Living in Texas, where summers are sweltering and maintaining cold water temperatures can be a real challenge, I needed something robust and reliable. This tub is truly a workhorse. It consistently keeps the water at the perfect temperature, even in the heat of summer. The build quality is impressive, and it has exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommend for anyone needing a dependable cold plunge solution!
This is the best health/fitness investment I have made in years. I have been chilling out for about 4 days/week for the last month now and I can honestly say, I feel great! My post-surgical lumbar aches and pains are definitely improved as is my sleep and post-plunge cognition. I look forward to enjoying this plunge for years to come! Build quality is great and maintenance is a breeze with Sirona kit. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMEND!
I’ve been using a basic ice bath for a couple years now. I got tired of having to add the ice every time I wanted to use it so I was looking into getting a unit with a chiller. I saw multiple ads for Desert Plunge on Instagram so I thought I’d do a little research. I found the pricing to be quite reasonable compared to other units so I went ahead and made the purchase. Delivery was within the timeframe that they committed to and the set up was really easy. Originally, I was going to set it up outside, but I had room in the garage where my gym is at so I went ahead and set it up in there. As long as you don’t jump in, it doesn’t make a mess with the water. I typically use it 3 to 4 times a week and it’s so easy to just go out to the gym and lift the lid and get right in without having to worry about adding ice every time. I would highly recommend this to anybody that’s looking at doing the cold plunge for long-term as it’s so easy to use and you have no excuses not to get in there.
One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Doing the cold plunge every morning jump starts my day, clears my head and has reduced my inflammation. Cant say enough good things about the product and company. Easy to set up and easy to maintain. Thanks so much Desert Plunge
I am very impressed with Desert Plunge! From ease of installation to build quality I could not have asked for more. Most of all customer service is great. The team is easy to get in contact with and is always quick to respond and provide helpful advice. Great product great service and a great way to get cold!
I did a lot of research prior to buying a cold plunge and ended up with the Desert Plunge 450. I went this route because of the filter system and ease of use. Ended up getting the Ozone system as well. I have used it every day for 3 weeks and the water is in perfect shape! It was beyond easy to setup and it has been exactly what I was wanting.
The staff at Desert Plunge were awesome when we went to visit and see one in person. Ordered one on the spot and it has been great. Setup was straight forward and maintenance each week is easy with the Sirona kit. It is a great workout recovery tool and a way to really cool off in the summer heat.
We are so happy with our purchase!
My wife and I have been plunging almost every day since it arrived a month ago. The installation was easy and only took 30 minutes to hook everything up. The quality and sturdiness of the tub is impressive, yet it is light weight if you need to move it without water in it. The chiller is top quality and much quieter than we expected thanks to the 1/4hp. We tell everyone we know how much we love our Desert Plunge and we would recommend anyone who wants to feel refreshed and alert to invest and get yourself one of these!
I absolutely love my plunge, and the experience with Desert Plunge was amazing. They answered all of my questions, and were very helpful in finding the best fit for my needs. Living in Arizona, I was concerned about the heat and outdoor elements. I have been plunging everyday with no issues. The unit is able to maintain the ideal temperature throughout the day, even in 100+ degree weather! It was very easy to set up, and came with everything ready to plunge. The team truly cares about their customers, and making sure you're confident in the purchase and using the plunge. I am very happy with the purchase, and would recommend it for anyone looking at a cold plunge!
Great plunge tub especially for outside in hotter climates like mine, TX. I added a different chiller, but the tub does exactly what is needed. It keeps water cold during the day while we don’t have the chiller/pump running. With los in the low 80s and highs around 100F, the tub kept my water temperature from rising much. Was at 50F and only raised to 62F. In 24 hours. The tub is roomy for a 6’ person, even with really broad shoulders, as long as you are ok with bending your knees.
We’ve been cold plunging for about a year and so happy we went with Desert Plunge. We debated a long time on making this investment and so happy we did! It’s so convenient to control what temperature you want instead of buying ice all the time. The equipment is quality and so easy to use, highly recommend!
Don't hesitate! Buy this plunge setup! Can't say enough good about our experience with Desert Plunge - from the communication, to the incredibly fast shipping to the superior quality of the product. Every item included seems to have been well thought out. Setup was a breeze. Sure we could have sourced all the individual components and built the entire setup ourselves and saved a few bucks, but sometimes it's just not worth the headache and time involved. We did quite a bit of research before settling on the Desert Plunge having it narrowed down to this and another very similar setup. Ultimately it was Matt's personal story of healing and his desire to make quality cold plunges more budget-friendly and accessible to everyone that made the decision for us.
