Though you could opt to just hop in a trash can full of ice, The Plunge Cold Plunge can offer a much more luxurious experience. A cold plunge is just as it sounds — emerging yourself in cold water (below 59 degrees Fahrenheit) for a goal time of around three minutes. These plunges can have both physical and mental benefits, potentially boosting immunity, speeding up recovery, helping with weight loss, and even calming your mind and providing mental clarity. This product is made for those who cold plunge regularly and want a pool that can be ready to go for them when they need it.

The problem with a basic trash can cold plunge is that you have to set up the can, wait for it to fill, and dump in the perfect amount of ice to reach your goal temperature before you hop in. The Plunge Cold Plunge is a large bath that once filled, can adjust the temperature down to 39 degrees (all temps are in Fahrenheit). And The Cold Plunge can hold that temp for a whole day. And when you’re done, you can drain your tub easily with a hose hookup. If you are an avid cold plunger and looking for a clean, regulated way to take your daily plunges, The Plunge Cold Plunge is a great — though luxury — option.

This ergonomic tub design sits at 24 inches tall, 67 inches long, and 43 inches wide giving users ample room to lie down and relax in a soak. The Plug-and-Plunge design makes setting up and filling up simple — its water hookup works with a standard garden hose.

The Plunge Cold Plunge Highlights

The Cold Plunge is definitely an investment. It’ll run you just under $5,000, so if you’re new to cold plunging, or don’t do it that often, this may not be a great investment. However, if you’re a regular plunger, and are tired of filling up trash cans or your bathtub to take a dip, The Cold Plunge can provide a dedicated space for you to use for cold plunges everyday. It’s easy to fill up and drain with your hose, and it will hold at 39 degrees for a full 24 hours, so it’s always ready to go. The filters will clean the water every 10 minutes to keep your plunges clean of dirt and bacteria, and if you’re plunging early in the morning or late at night, you can turn on the tub lights to create an even more zen space for your dip.

Price

This is definitely an expensive piece of equipment. It will cost you a little under $5,000, but you will be getting a cold plunge pool that can last you decades.
