Install Plumbing and Chiller
At 28:57 in
I Built A Cold Plunge With Filtration That ACTUALLY WORKS
What happens here
Holes are drilled into the tank for the circulation jets using a 2 3/8-inch hole saw. Three circulation jets are installed: one water intake, one water output that can be adjusted to create a swirling effect, and one output for filtered, ozonated water. Flexible PVC hose is used to connect the jets to a filter housing, an ozonator, and the water chiller. The filter housing will contain a 50-micron filter. The ozonator is integrated into the plumbing system to purify the water and reduce the need for chemical disinfectants. The water chiller (Hydrofarm brand) is connected via PVC adapters and clamps, drawing water from one side of the system, cooling it, and returning it to the tank. The builder mentions a slight misalignment with existing holes but adapts the flexible piping accordingly. The entire plumbing assembly is designed to provide proper water circulation and filtration. He notes that he will connect these components via union fittings to allow for easy disassembly if maintenance is needed.
Goal: Circulation jets, filters, ozonator, and chiller are installed and connected with flexible PVC pipes, creating a functional water treatment and cooling system for the plunge.
