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.

we'll need for this because we're going to have crazy ozones. We going to have filtrations, filters, we're going to have uh pumps, you name it, this thing's going to have it. Oh, it's going to have lights, buttons, a lot of cool Dude, if this is getting you excited, here's a QR code for you to scan. I'll send you the plans. You can build this yourself at home. And this thing is going to be the bell of the ball in your backyard. It's a new day to finish off this cold plunge. I can't tell you how I'm excited about to finally start dipping this cold plunge because my last one leaked all the time. We threw it away. Couple of things I've learned about cold plunges when you're building your own. If you don't have adequate filtration, you're basically changing the water like every 3 to 4 weeks, which absolutely sucks. Number two I learned about cold plunges is no matter how pretty you make them, if they're not sealed like this, um they're going to ruin over time if they're not under a covered area. Third thing I learned about cold plunges is uh you need a good circulation motor. I've used cheap ones, low voltage stuff on Amazon and they just die after like a few months to be honest with you. It's it's too little of a guy for a lot of water. Oh, and I also learned that you can't have too many cool accessories to it, and that's what we're going to be handling today. Speaking of accessories, we bought spa lights. Now, these aren't your typical old LED lights. This is specifically designed for spas. So, we're going to have this light that's going to get bored in here. We have a driver for it. And this is the coolest part. It has an air switch, so it's water safe. So, basically the same air switch you'd have for your garbage disposal. We're going to mount the sucker here. Oh, look. It's in a little rubber ducky. We got circulation jets, one intake port to take water in, one out port uh eyeball one so we can create actually a circulation. We have a filter housing that will help clean the water. We have 50 micron filters which will aid in proper filtration. My second favorite after the lights feature here is the ozonator. So this part is going to create I to be honest with you, I don't know what an ozonator does except for the fact that it helps clean the water. Uh, in spas and pools, ozenators are often used to purify water by breaking down contaminants and bacteria, reducing the need for chemical disinfectants like chlorine. They help keep the water clean. >>…
