Water Treatment: Ozone
Ozone sanitation is a is a great chemical-free option for keeping your water clean. A generator attaches to the back of your cold plunge tub, releasing ozone into the water daily using an air pump. The ozone generator turns on and off by a timer, making it a hands-off maintenance option. While ozone can be a great sanitation method, you need to ensure you are entering the plunge after rinsing off and wearing swimsuit material only. Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent which when dissolved in water, produces a broad spectrum biocide that helps eliminate bacteria and viruses; ozone for water treatment has been used since 1904. See also our Ozone FAQs and check out the video for more information. Please note, if you keep your cold plunge outside in freezing temperatures, ozone tubing will need to be monitored for blockages, and ozone should not be used in temperatures below 20 degrees F.
Water Treatment: Sirona
Our Sirona Water Maintenance Kit is a chlorine free and bromine free product that you’ll add to your cold plunge water based on the results of weekly testing; testing info and pH strips are included.
The Sirona Water Maintenance Kit is a stronger cleaning agent than ozone; it is ideal if there are a number of people regularly using your cold plunge or if your are not as diligent about rinsing off before getting in the water. See more information about Sirona use and testing on our care and maintenance page.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
Absolutely fantastic plunge. Easily adapted a chillier unit I already owned. Shipping took about 3 weeks to arrive but had no issues.
We have been using this Cold Tub since May of 2026 and all of us at Barn Fitness love it! Plenty of space for us to get comfortable, easy to clean, holds the water temperature very well and looks amazing!
It all started with a free pop up cold plunge and I quickly got tired of buying ice in the Texas heat! This plunge has been more than expected and has quickly become part of my daily routine. Thank you for a great product! The animals love it too!
I purchased the tub only model to use with an outside chiller from a previous inflatable tub purchase. After buying a 3/4 to 1/2 Adapter Fitting Reducing Solid Hex Nipple it worked perfectly. The increased insulation that this tub provides has made it so my chiller works much less than my previous inflatable which should increase the lifespan of the chiller. This has been a great purchase with no regrets. I am 6'1, 280lbs and I fit in the regular (non-wide) tub with no problem. This has been great!

I'm thrilled with everything about my tub. It came well packaged and is just as advertised: comfortable and COLD. I barely have to run my chiller... the water simply stays cold. Would recommend to anyone.
I have loved this plunge from the day I got it! The company has been so easy to work with, and the plunge itself is great! I'm 6'4 265 and fit perfectly in the beast.
The answer is yes. I am a first responder and deal with many challenges regarding tension,stress, and anxiety. Cold plunging is something i got into about a year ago to help deal with these things and i do not in any way regret this purchase. It is rugged, forgiving, stylish, and affordable considering how much cold plunges cost these days. It has improved my sleep better than anything I have tried and has benefits that work better than any SSRI ive ever tried. After receiveing my unit i made an error and stripped a thread. After contacting the company they sent me a replacement piece that i was completely willing to pay for due to it being user error and they did not charge me for the part. It was here in a couple days and i was back up and running. The customer service is absolutley next level. One last tid bit to add is that I am 6'4 and fit in it great. Just a tip: if you are my height head dunking is extremely easy if you just put your feet up on the front and slide down. Nobody told me about said position until recently and just wanted to pass that on.
Been using the inflatable pods for years. While they work, they also require a lot care and attention. I Finally pulled the trigger on the desert plunge. This thing is amazing. It holds the temp, no condensation, easy to clean, easy to maintain, and looks good. I can get it down and hold the temp in low to mid thirties with a 1/3 size pump. It’s comfortable enough to sit shoulders deep and big enough to complete submerge yourself. It’s worth the money.
Was very easy to setup, high quality product, and much easier to use. Desert plunge is a high quality shop and very professional in a their support. I would buy from again
This has been one of the best investments in my physical and mental health in a long time. I was crammed in my previous tub being 6’2”. This has made the whole process so much easier and more enjoyable. Once at temperature, the tub barely even needs the chiller to kick back on because of how insulated. Customer service has been excellent! I had questions during shipping and was able to speak with a real person. After deliver I had a few follow up questions and immediately received response. From the outside looking in most would just see this as a larger insulated cooler. Cold water exposure in many ways has saved my life and every interaction with Desert Plunge so far has shown they just get it. If I could rate 10 starts I would.
The Exclusive is the perfect cold plunge tub! Well insulated, very well built, and they have great customer service. I’m 6’ and it is plenty spacious for me with room to move around.
I went the DIY Tub only route because I already owned a filter and a .5 HP Active Aqua chiller. Super easy to setup, and I’m sure the complete package is even easier. 10/10. Would buy again…
I received one of the first batch of the Exclusive.
The customer service was great at giving me updates on the ETA and answering my questions.
I am 6'3" and the tub is perfect size for me. It is very comfortable and I use it almost every day.
Tub only is a great option if you want to DIY (it was quite easy once I got all the right fixtures).
I live in South Louisiana. Yes, it gets hot. Along with the heat comes high humidity saturated air sometimes approaching 100%. Open a cold drink and it is covered with sweat.
I have a desert plunge exclusive with a 1 hp chiller that I bought with a previous inflatable plunge. The tub is awesome. My chiller runs about 3 hours a day to keep my tub between 39 and 43. When I close the lid, the temperature barely increases with an ambient air temp of 95. I plunge daily at 40 for 18 to 20 minutes. This is my third year of plunging. I use ozone and filters to keep my water super clear. Always shower before plunging.
This DESERT PLUNGE will give me many years of service.

Love the quality of the tub and the components. Cold plunging in the desert heat is tough, so really wanted to make sure I had a solid setup. Looking forward to many years of cold plunging.
It's rare that I purchase something and feel great about it, but this is a game changer. Great product.
I'm starting off by using blocks of ice from frozen tupperware tubs but will eventually purchase the cooling system. Excellent insulation characteristics.
I couldn’t be happier with my Desert Plunge XL tub. From the moment it arrived, it was clear this is a premium, thoughtfully engineered cold plunge. The build quality is outstanding — solid, durable, and clearly made to last. I especially appreciate that it’s manufactured in the U.S.A., which really shows in the craftsmanship.
The extended interior is a game-changer. There’s plenty of room to fully submerge comfortably, even for taller people, and the design feels both spacious and ergonomic.
If you’re looking for a high-quality cold plunge that combines durability, comfort, and excellent performance, the Desert Plunge XL is absolutely worth it. I’d recommend it to anyone serious about cold therapy.
The plunge is amazing. The extra investment pays off so quickly when you factor in the savings of how long this things keeps the water cold if your just using ice, or how low your chiller can push the temps if using a chiller. With 100 degree days my chiller keeps the plunge at 39 degrees. My previous inflatable “insulated” plunge wouldn’t go below 55 with the exact same chiller setup. Having the seal on the lid and it being lockable also keeps the water must cleaner in our dusty climate and keeps bugs and any other inquisitive animals or kids out. Great purchase overall and I’m more than satisfied. My only complaint is that I wish I would have invested the money into my desert plunge sooner!
Very happy with my purchase. I used a chiller that I had with the desert plunge tub and it has been great. I would definitely recommend!
started my home set up with an inflatable big mistake. after cleaning up after leak in my basement carpet (and a professional carpet service bill), i went with this solid tub with my chiller. After a bit of tinkering and help from tech at desert plunge i have been enjoying the peace of mind and piece of peace that is my plunge tub. we all would like to save more money but in this case i got what i paid for.
I have used this tub daily since the day it came in and I love it. Everything is well made and is exactly as described. If you're wondering if you should buy it, yes you should.
I did a lot of research on cold plunges and decided to go with a Grizzly Cooler. I was going to order direct from Grizzly and found out that the Best option is Desert Plunge instead. I’m so happy that I ordered from Desert Plunge. My cooler came ready to hook up to my chiller, no need to drill holes. I went to the local store to buy my fittings and I was chilling that same day. Great company, fast shipping, I highly recommend Desert Plunge.
Could not be happier with my desert plunge! Insulation keeps water cold in South Florida climate without issue. Company quickly responds and addresses all questions.
I couldn’t be happier with this cold plunge. This is my third plunge setup and by far the best (while being less expensive than one of the other two). It maintains very low temps in a hot climate and is very easy to maintain. One of the founders, Matt, personally called me to assist me with my purchase (as I had some unique requests). I am so thrilled with the company, customer service, and product.
Holds temperatures better than I expected. Super happy with this purchase
We are enjoying the tub. Excellent quality.
love the desert plunge - easy set up!
