Water Treatment
Additional water sanitation is not required, but is recommended to help keep your water clean and kill virus and bacteria.
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.
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.
