🧠 Why These Plans Work
I’ve built multiple cold plunges—some great, some… learning experiences 😅
These layouts eliminate the common problems:
-
❌ Leaks from bad transitions
-
❌ Pump strain and poor circulation
-
❌ Over-complicated builds that never stay running
This setup keeps water moving smoothly, stays easy to service, and doesn’t require constant tinkering.
🛠️ Who These Plans Are For
✔ DIY builders
✔ Inflatable tub owners
✔ Stock tank plunge setups
✔ First-timers who want clarity
✔ Experienced builders who want a cleaner system
If you’re the kind of person who values doing it once and doing it right, these are for you.
📦 What’s Not Included (On Purpose)
These are plumbing plans, not a full build kit.
You’ll still choose:
-
Your tub
-
Your chiller
-
Your pump & filters
That’s intentional—it keeps the plans flexible and budget-friendly.
Inside the PDFs, I also include recommended parts and trusted suppliers I personally use. Some of those links are affiliate links, which means it doesn’t cost you anything extra—but if you choose to purchase through them, I earn a small commission.
That support goes a long way in helping me keep resources like this free, continue testing gear, and keep the YouTube channel running with real-world builds, updates, and improvements—not sponsored fluff. It’s completely optional, but genuinely appreciated.
