THANK YOU ALL FOR WATCHING! What videos would you like to see next? LET ME KNOW! In the meantime, you might like to see how I keep my Plunges clean: ua-cam.com/video/nFBnOrzJ5lE/v-deo.html
David, love the cold plunge content. I’m going with the edge theory labs and just upgraded to their elite tub. Super excited for it to come in. Definitely used your code as well! Do you use the ozone on the edge theory tub as well?
Hey, thank you so much for all your information you have inspired me to build one myself. I’ve been looking for one trying to get something over here in Thailand and it’s just not available. I have one of them cheap little blowup ones. It’s working, but I don’t think in a long run. It’s my long term Answer so I decided to build one to my exact specifications out of insulated block that’s how they build houses over here and I’m gonna double up the insulated block and I’m gonna make it exact size that I need and then I’ll cut the whole inside with a waterproof paint or something like that And I will put in some drain and an inlet for the cooler. I’m so excited I looked and looked and looked. I’ve spent a month looking at all your videos I spent in that month. I looked at all the options they had here in Thailand and there were no options so just dawned on me yesterday, I can probably build one for 40 bucks to my specification that I need and for another six or $700 I can buy a water chiller and all the fittings to put it all together so thank you for your inspiration and keep doing what you’re doing, buddy I also have the same problem as you do. It’s 90° over here all the time so I’m hoping this chiller, it’s it’s a horsepower. It will get it down to eight or nine Celsius, which is 5048 somewhere in there that’s plenty cold enough for me. Looking forward to the next one kind of interesting. I found my chiller and filtration system at an aquarium store, there is a little hint for someone else, thanks again. Good luck.😎🙏
Normally I like mid-40s for cold plunging, and anything over 50 isn't worth it to me, but i found that mental state plays a big role on what I want for temperature. Occasionally, I'll have days that I'm just feeling great and ready to take on the world and I actually crave the super cold temperatures. There were a few days this past "spring" (we have snow pretty late into the spring in Alaska) where I added enough snow to my tank to make the top 8-10" a slushy because it got cold enough that it wasn't melting any more. I feel amazing after those really cold plunges, but I'm just not there mentally to do that every day.
Agreed, we are big fans of voluntary hardship and have been doing this for about 7 months now. For us we aim for between 3 and 4 degrees C (so 37 to 39f), before we got a chiller and spring turned to summer we were dumping mountains of ice cubes and ice blocks in each morning, often we struggled to get the temp down below 8 degrees (47f) and frankly it seemed more like a relaxing soak than something more beneficial. Naturally we started because we wanted the cold adaptation and the health benefits. Cold adaptation is a fact, we've seen it with our hands, initially it was difficult to keep them in at sub 40 for more than 15 seconds or so. Now they go straight in and stay in for the full 5 minutes. A lot of the health benefits are unproven or anecdotal of course but the cold adaptation seems to work. The dopamine hit as well is there for sure when it's below 40 and we feel great. We've also found a psychological benefit from plunging at these lower temperatures. It takes mental discipline to get up early, shower and then hop in the the ice cold water every single day for 5 minutes and then stand outside in your shorts to acclimatize. It's really helped us with workouts and life in general. Now we also crave the ice cold temperatures, hands and feet stinging from the cold makes you feel alive. A few minutes after plunging that subsides and you're ready to go warm up and start your workout. Also it's going to freeze over in winter here in the UK (nothing like you in Alaska I'm sure!) so only making it harder for ourselves if we didn't get used to the freezing cold water first.
Hi so we bought the exact same one as you followed the instructions and it doesnt work. We tried plugging it into the wall and into the outside splitter we have. Is there something we are doing wrong? We have bought to and neither one will push out bubbles.
Hi David, I’m using the ice pod, it does not have a circulation pump. Do I need one in addition to the ozone air purifier, and do I need to run the circulation pump all the time. Thank you David
I have a plunge that obviously uses ozone. My plunge is in my basement in a room I'm afraid is poorly ventilated. My water has been getting cloudy after about a week. Do you think this is the reason?
That doesnt sound normal, do you add any other chemicals to it? I recently made a video showing how to keep your plunge water crytal clear for a long time, did you see it yet?
@@DavidMausJrI haven't added any chemicals yet. I just got my hydrogen peroxide and I'm gonna put a cup in per 2-4 weeks as you suggested. My plunge is in our furnace room so its in a room that has no AC vents so I question how good the ventilation is. Could it be because of the ozone and lack of ventilation?
Excellent video. Thank you. Question- when the ozone generator is in use, should I keep the lid open or closed on my DIY chest freezer cold plunge? TIA
I still change the water out usually every month in my Ice Barrel but the water in my Polar Monkey wasnt changed in 4 months and it was impressive the visual difference when i used Ozone.
Hey David. Your videos are the best! I have an ozone generator on the way. I plunge around 5 AM each day. What I would like to do is run the ozone generator around Noon for two hour with the lid closed. Then, take the lid off prior to plunging in the morning. Do you think 5 minutes would be long enough to leave it off? Please let me know. Blessings!
Thank you! Yes that should be plenty as long as you are not in a tiny closed space that keeps the ozone trapped in the same room. If you are outside you are good after :30 seconds but just keeping it safe
Question: you say you use this machine once a week right? How about the pump that you recommended (for a cold pod portable container) How often should I use the pump? And do I still need hydrogen peroxide?
my pump is on 24/7, ozone once a week or when needed. HP i add a cap when refilling the tub and a cap or two after running ozone. probably overkill but these things get a lot of use. lol
Hi! Great video, thanks for sharing! What are the reasons you have found not to plunge for at least 30 mins after ozone bubbling? I see others have read the same info I have that it’s actually good to soak in ozone-ated water (but not while the bubbler is on). I’d love to research your findings further. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. My cold plunge is setup indoors and my concern is if any ozone is ommited outside of the water column when using this devices water ozone setting. I do have a lid and plan to run it every other day for 20min. Thanks for your content.
Does this thing have a filter that has to be replaced? Also does this do ok at night outdoors in the cold if I were to run it when going to bed and it being left outside all night? And would you say if I’m winterizing my ice pod (putting my chiller away due to it being too cold in the winter and therefore not having water circulating or being filtered), that using this ozone machine plus the UV light, and hydrogen peroxide/epsom salt would be all I need? I’m wondering about keeping the circulation going more regularly with a separate pump so this ozone machine wouldn’t wear out as fast, but that’s extra money and more things to plug in and figure out. I’m seeing so much info and complicated set ups that I am getting overwhelmed. Help please!
I would say to just keep it simple. Use a little HP, throw this ozone in for an hour every couple days and you should be ok. You can always add a pump to keep water moving around if needed.
Hi David, I just bought a different one off Amazon that puts out 1,000 mg/hr. I think your green one puts around 500 mg/hr? Wondering if mine is too much now, or if it should be fine?
How would you recommend I keep my neurocover clean? It has no filter or water movement...? I'm a newbie. Jist checked my water today after a week and it was cloudy...I drained and will replace the water tommorow after it air drys
If you look in this video description there is a link for a UV filter in the list of things needed for the DIY cold plunge. That should help in a big way.
Bought the same one David, thank you for all the vids and explantions. Helped me a lot buidling my own setup. Still got some algue, Sirona isn't available were I live. Using the foodgrade peroxide 3%. If you got additional tips, please let me know. Cheers,
Looking to do a chest free azer conversion, but don't think I'll be able to drill any holes in the one I may purchase so lots of stuff running under the lid if I get it. I'm trying to find a good simple pump to circulate the nwater as you mention and it looks like you have a pretty simple one that you just drop in. Assumption is that water is pumped to your chiller, which I won't need to do since I'll have the freezer do that, but what pump are you using? That with ozone should keep the water pretty clean.
Hey man I just bought a stock tank from tractor supply and was gonna use a chlorine skimmer but I’m worried about the chemicals. Can I get by with just using the hydrogen peroxide weekly to keep bacteria out, as long as I keep a cover on it and rinse off before use?
Hot tub ozone generators are rated at 30mg/hr. Hot tubs typically hold way more volume than a cold plunge. I think 28,000mg/hr is way way way too much ozone.
Are you able to run this 24-7? So instead of using a timer on the actually generator, is there an option to always have it on and I can just have an outlet timer where it turns on automatically everyday?
Hey D. Curious to see what you think. If I plumb this ozone in the grizzly wall, and have this on a timer (for when I’m not using it), do you think I can keep that tubing and stone in the water 24/7 when it’s not on? Also- in your opinion - would I need to ‘air out’ the grizzly opening up the lid hours after ozone before plunging?
There is a small black plug in the top of the grizzly coolers that you can plumb an ozone tube in and it should be pretty easy. Id recommend it for sure. And yes air it out for a minute or two
Bought this pump and was wondering for the Nurecover do you think it will work. I read on their questions that it takes 20 minutes to clean one gallon of water. I’m trying to figure out if I should get like a AA Aquarium Green Killing Machine Internal UV System for 120 gallon and then just dump every 4 weeks or something as a more effective option as I also can’t use a pump with it and I’m concerned the ozone machine won’t be as strong if I don’t upgrade or use it daily any ideas on this?
Nice! Is your goal to not have to change the water much? I use the ozone in all of my cold plunges. Works great! I’m sure there’s a ton of great options
@@DavidMausJrYa I’m fine with changing the water once a month or so I’m just trying to figure out what would make the most sense continuing with this ozone generator, getting something stronger listed for 50 to 100 gallons of water like the JED 303 Ozone Generator for a spa, or a UV light. I’m also adding your hydrogenperoxide I just don’t want to be plunging in water that isn’t clean but at the same time my nurecover doesn’t have moving water as I’m using gallon frozen ice bottles to reduce the Temp as I don’t have the funds for a chiller. Any thoughts on this 🤔
Thx for the video! Question - why do some people have ozone generators AND complicated filters + plumbing stuff?? You simply have the ozone thing with one tube into the water. I love how simple that is, but I wonder why others have much more complicated systems?
Great question. Honestly if I had to guess, it’s because the people we are doing that probably have a really solid DIY/plumbing background and it’s just fun to make it. I build big, awesome playgrounds for my kids. I add a lot of things most people would think crazy, but I do it because I enjoy it and it comes easy. As for plumbing/ozone, the machine works just as well. Lol
Hi David, thanks for all the great videos. I upgraded from a smaller less expensive ice pod to the ice barrel 500 (btw, thanks for your discount code!) and i can't for the barrel to arrive! I am really interested in setting up the ozone machine to improve my water quality. I live in California and to my surprise, I just realized its illegal for a CA resident to buy them and have it shipped. Any recommendations for a fellow ice plunger?
Great info. Anything on big and wide guys? I'm pretty tall and overly fat right now. Don't want to kick out $3K for a tub and system. If there are some decent "DIY" options with actual tubs that are easy to get into and out, would be great.
@@DavidMausJr hahahaha!! So I can ozone it while the lid is closed then wait thirty mins after it's finished, open lid and plunge?:) Thank u for everything bruh!
Great video! Do you still use hydrogen peroxide or Epsom salt in combination with ozone generator? Or the Ozen generator alone is enough to keep the ice bath clean?
Nevermind I found some other comments where you answered saying the ozone generator was enough by itself but you still sometimes use hydrogen peroxide. Thanks again for the great insights!
Don’t overthink it. I use a minimal filter and just use ozone and HP weekly. The best thing to do it rinse off before getting in and get a pool skimmer to skim anything out. Enjoy!
I use your DIY setup, but in a "coldture" insulated tub since I have the setup inside in my basement and wanted 0 condensation. Works amazing, thanks for the tips. I found after a month, the water was still crystal clear, just by using a tiny pinch of granular Chlorine each week. I still change the water after a month just for piece of mind, but it seems like the freezer setups people use, have these ozonators and some leave their water for many months. Do you plan to change your water our less often with that now? Curious if it would be beneficial to add to my setup just for when I'm leaving the house for a while since it's inside.
Awesome! Now that I have this ozone machine I don’t really need to change the water. I’ve had the water in my polar monkey since the day I filled it up and it’s still clean and clear from using ozone and hydrogen peroxide. I recommend it for sure!
Hey, thanks for the tips - great video. Something like this ozone generator seems like the kind of great low fuss option that works for me. Only thing I'm confused about, im trying to find a generator and none of them specify they can be used in water/don't have the tubing attached - any thoughts?
Hey David, thanks for the great videos! I got the generator you recommended. Would you recommend using it daily? Also, I've seen a bit of conversation about the potential benefits of plunging in an actively saturated Ozone water (20 minutes before getting in) + while it's on -- do you have any information on the risks/benefits? The logic was around it being an anti-oxidant treatment for your skin. Also, do you use the Ozone + the IceBarrel Water stabilizer, if so in what way?
Awesome! Definitely don’t use the plunge inside of 30 minutes after using ozone. I use mine about once every 2 weeks and now I use the stabilizer in all my plunges, even with the ozone and it works great! Glad to Help!
when you say you use the stabalizer, what exactly are you referring to? i have ice barrel 400, polar monkey chiller, ozone air purifier, and food grade peroxide
New to the channel but appreciate the content. I’ve only recently started cold plunging and only have a Nurecover portable ice bath. At the minute I empty the water once a week and go in it x5 a week . I actually own a box and go in it straight after my workout (I know there are mixed studies to stop muscle growth) but I don’t care about that , I feel great and recovery is the best it’s been. Until I can afford a filter/chiller system , is this worth getting ? I have no pump or anything atm but just thought I’d ask , I’m reading so many different things . Was going to purchase this and the hydrogen peroxide, would that be enough?
Hey, thanks for the video. Looks awesome. I'm a little confused on the large gap between your 28,000 mg/h Ozone and Plunges/DIYColdPlunge's 50 mg/h Ambohr Spa-124 ozone generator, especially since there is rumor is can damage your chiller. Do you have any insight as to ozone amounts/frequency? Thanks again.
i only use this about once a week, but companies like Plunge have ozone continuously and they havent had any issues to report so i dont know how true that is
Thank you Dave for the video. I'm thinking about getting this generator. If I do, would you say it's the only thing I'll need to keep my tub sanitized? Our would I still need something else like hydrogen peroxide or bromine?
Hello, new to your channel and ice bath. I'm building a rubbermaid 100 ice bath for my garage. I wanted to ask have you ever considered adding a Salt Cell for your cold plunge? Thank you
I have used the same ozone generator for my ice bath, it is located in my garage so when I treat the water (once a week) I leave a fan on blowing on the water and the garage door open. Have you ever had a sore throat from accidental inhalation? I got a slight sore throat the last time I used it.
Enjoying the content. My two cents. Do not post the neighborhood kids plunging. Its all safe fun but the internet is a sketchy place. It's too much of a liability waiting to happen without parental consent.
That ozonator only puts out 500mg of ozone per hour into water. Your paying way more for the dual function of air and water. There's others on eBay that put out 2,000mg for 1/4 the price of this one.....

@@jordanwalters1944 Thanks! I use the Ozone in all my plunges.
@@DavidMausJr awesome! I’m expecting the edge tub elite in the next week or so. Super excited!

Glad it was helpful!
Can you tell me the other ozone air purifiers that didn’t work for you?
Hi so we bought the exact same one as you followed the instructions and it doesnt work. We tried plugging it into the wall and into the outside splitter we have. Is there something we are doing wrong? We have bought to and neither one will push out bubbles.
Would I be able to use a wifi smart plug with it so it turns on and off by itself?
Probably! Never used one. Here’s a new link to it. amzn.to/3oYhi67

God bless you too!
Hi David, I’m using the ice pod, it does not have a circulation pump. Do I need one in addition to the ozone air purifier, and do I need to run the circulation pump all the time. Thank you David
If you use this same ozone system you dont need one, but it could help keep your water cleaner for longer
Do you have the filter for the pump or that goes on after the pump
In my DIY Chiller kits (descriptions) they are all in there to make it easy
Ok cool just bought the same one. Thanks!

Thank you! You can do either, i keep my lids closed when its running.
Awesome. Thank you for the answer. Appreciate it. Thanks again! @@DavidMausJr
Does it matter if you leave the cover off or on while running the ozone?
It doesn’t. As long as the ozone has a bubbler and the water is moving. Just don’t sit around it and breath in the air.
Using ozone and a filtration system, how often do you have to change your water?
I still change the water out usually every month in my Ice Barrel but the water in my Polar Monkey wasnt changed in 4 months and it was impressive the visual difference when i used Ozone.

This generator is not available on Amazon. Any other recommendations?
amzn.to/3sxqoIJ
If I just have a cheap cold pod do I need a pump with filtration? If yes does it have to be running all day or how often?
Or is this generator enough?
You could more than likely get away with running this ozone once a week for about 30 mins to an hour
Is this ozone device still working 1 year later?
like a charm! Just posted a short yesterday using it ironically.
What's a quality ozone generator? For 75 gallons. I'm very confused
I put a good one in the link of the video. They have so many options, but you want one that produces enough to clean the water in a large amount

Isn't 28,000mg/h way too high for the size of the cold plunge? Can you adjust the output down?
You can adjust the time. I like it so it cleans faster
Hot tub ozone generators are rated at 30mg/hr. Hot tubs typically hold way more volume than a cold plunge. I think 28,000mg/hr is way way way too much ozone.
You might be right. I use this and it works great, but you can use less im sure. :)
@@sandstorm973 Yeah I'm looking at one that's rated at 600mg/hour or even 200. That's enough then?
Are you able to run this 24-7? So instead of using a timer on the actually generator, is there an option to always have it on and I can just have an outlet timer where it turns on automatically everyday?
Yep! This one has the “hold” feature so it’s on as long as I want it on
I saw Ice barrel is working on their own proprietary chiller, is this something you've heard about?
Yes! They are working on some awesome stuff coming soon
Can you leave a cold plunge covered while using ozone or should it be open for evaporation? Thanks. Love your videos.
Yes you can! Covered or not as long as water is moving around you should be good
Thanks David. You rock!
Hey D. Curious to see what you think. If I plumb this ozone in the grizzly wall, and have this on a timer (for when I’m not using it), do you think I can keep that tubing and stone in the water 24/7 when it’s not on?
Also- in your opinion - would I need to ‘air out’ the grizzly opening up the lid hours after ozone before plunging?
There is a small black plug in the top of the grizzly coolers that you can plumb an ozone tube in and it should be pretty easy. Id recommend it for sure. And yes air it out for a minute or two
@@DavidMausJr thanks!
Bought this pump and was wondering for the Nurecover do you think it will work. I read on their questions that it takes 20 minutes to clean one gallon of water. I’m trying to figure out if I should get like a AA Aquarium Green Killing Machine Internal UV System for 120 gallon and then just dump every 4 weeks or something as a more effective option as I also can’t use a pump with it and I’m concerned the ozone machine won’t be as strong if I don’t upgrade or use it daily any ideas on this?
Nice! Is your goal to not have to change the water much? I use the ozone in all of my cold plunges. Works great! I’m sure there’s a ton of great options
@@DavidMausJrYa I’m fine with changing the water once a month or so I’m just trying to figure out what would make the most sense continuing with this ozone generator, getting something stronger listed for 50 to 100 gallons of water like the JED 303 Ozone Generator for a spa, or a UV light. I’m also adding your hydrogenperoxide I just don’t want to be plunging in water that isn’t clean but at the same time my nurecover doesn’t have moving water as I’m using gallon frozen ice bottles to reduce the Temp as I don’t have the funds for a chiller. Any thoughts on this 🤔
Thx for the video! Question - why do some people have ozone generators AND complicated filters + plumbing stuff??
You simply have the ozone thing with one tube into the water. I love how simple that is, but I wonder why others have much more complicated systems?
Great question. Honestly if I had to guess, it’s because the people we are doing that probably have a really solid DIY/plumbing background and it’s just fun to make it. I build big, awesome playgrounds for my kids. I add a lot of things most people would think crazy, but I do it because I enjoy it and it comes easy. As for plumbing/ozone, the machine works just as well. Lol
Does this replace the Hydrogen Peroxide you've been putting in it to clean it or is it essentially an addition to?
I use both. HP every week no matter what. I use this only when it starts getting cloudy. Works stupid good
do you have to have a pump?
the ozone machine will do the work and you dont need a separate pump
Hi David, thanks for all the great videos. I upgraded from a smaller less expensive ice pod to the ice barrel 500 (btw, thanks for your discount code!) and i can't for the barrel to arrive! I am really interested in setting up the ozone machine to improve my water quality. I live in California and to my surprise, I just realized its illegal for a CA resident to buy them and have it shipped. Any recommendations for a fellow ice plunger?
Great info. Anything on big and wide guys? I'm pretty tall and overly fat right now. Don't want to kick out $3K for a tub and system. If there are some decent "DIY" options with actual tubs that are easy to get into and out, would be great.
Should the ozone generator itself make a noise when running ? Just ordered one and cant tell if its on or not
No loud noise. If u got one that bubbles that water you can tell it’s on with the bubbles.
Hey bro! Will it be safe to close the lid of the plunge while ozone-ing it? Thanks. cool video btw!
That’s what I like to do! Just don’t open it and take a deep breath. Lol
@@DavidMausJr hahahaha!! So I can ozone it while the lid is closed then wait thirty mins after it's finished, open lid and plunge?:)
Thank u for everything bruh!
@@michaelmanago3100 HAHA absolutely my brother! Enjoy it!
@@DavidMausJr thank u!!! 🙏
@@michaelmanago3100 Anytime my friend!
Great video! Do you still use hydrogen peroxide or Epsom salt in combination with ozone generator? Or the Ozen generator alone is enough to keep the ice bath clean?
Nevermind I found some other comments where you answered saying the ozone generator was enough by itself but you still sometimes use hydrogen peroxide.
Thanks again for the great insights!
Both!
Great video! Does your setup have a water pump with a filter? Or do you rely solely on the ozone?
Thanks! Water pump and filter for sure. Plus I use hydrogen peroxide a lot too.
@@DavidMausJr thank you! Does your water chiller double up as your water pump?
@@Fun_Dealer No you need a pump to get the water through the chiller :)
Are you using a pool filter ? Kind of overwhelmed by different videos and approaches towards this I think a pool filter and ozone is all I need I hope
Don’t overthink it. I use a minimal filter and just use ozone and HP weekly. The best thing to do it rinse off before getting in and get a pool skimmer to skim anything out. Enjoy!
I use your DIY setup, but in a "coldture" insulated tub since I have the setup inside in my basement and wanted 0 condensation. Works amazing, thanks for the tips. I found after a month, the water was still crystal clear, just by using a tiny pinch of granular Chlorine each week. I still change the water after a month just for piece of mind, but it seems like the freezer setups people use, have these ozonators and some leave their water for many months. Do you plan to change your water our less often with that now? Curious if it would be beneficial to add to my setup just for when I'm leaving the house for a while since it's inside.
Awesome! Now that I have this ozone machine I don’t really need to change the water. I’ve had the water in my polar monkey since the day I filled it up and it’s still clean and clear from using ozone and hydrogen peroxide. I recommend it for sure!
Hey, thanks for the tips - great video.
Something like this ozone generator seems like the kind of great low fuss option that works for me. Only thing I'm confused about, im trying to find a generator and none of them specify they can be used in water/don't have the tubing attached - any thoughts?
Check this one out. amzn.to/3JqD6i1
@@DavidMausJr thanks, although it doesn’t have the water feature, right?
@@Richardnicholas999 this one should (make sure it has the little hose)
Wish I could find the ozone generator to purchase.

Hey David, thanks for the great videos! I got the generator you recommended. Would you recommend using it daily? Also, I've seen a bit of conversation about the potential benefits of plunging in an actively saturated Ozone water (20 minutes before getting in) + while it's on -- do you have any information on the risks/benefits? The logic was around it being an anti-oxidant treatment for your skin.
Also, do you use the Ozone + the IceBarrel Water stabilizer, if so in what way?
Awesome!
Definitely don’t use the plunge inside of 30 minutes after using ozone. I use mine about once every 2 weeks and now I use the stabilizer in all my plunges, even with the ozone and it works great! Glad to
Help!
when you say you use the stabalizer, what exactly are you referring to?
i have ice barrel 400, polar monkey chiller, ozone air purifier, and food grade peroxide
New to the channel but appreciate the content. I’ve only recently started cold plunging and only have a Nurecover portable ice bath.
At the minute I empty the water once a week and go in it x5 a week . I actually own a box and go in it straight after my workout (I know there are mixed studies to stop muscle growth) but I don’t care about that , I feel great and recovery is the best it’s been.
Until I can afford a filter/chiller system , is this worth getting ? I have no pump or anything atm but just thought I’d ask , I’m reading so many different things .
Was going to purchase this and the hydrogen peroxide, would that be enough?
Awesome thanks for watching! Yes this would be a huge plus for that setup. I’d run it after every plunge if you get in sweaty. 🤙🏽
That’s great thank you so much for the quick reply 👍👍
Anytime! @@crossfitderby5074
The link takes you to a different brand generator, is it the same? Also is the one you use a 28,000mg/h? Thanks man
Yea it should be. Make sure it’s the one with the hose in the picture. Stinks that they changed it.
Hey, thanks for the video. Looks awesome. I'm a little confused on the large gap between your 28,000 mg/h Ozone and Plunges/DIYColdPlunge's 50 mg/h Ambohr Spa-124 ozone generator, especially since there is rumor is can damage your chiller. Do you have any insight as to ozone amounts/frequency? Thanks again.
i only use this about once a week, but companies like Plunge have ozone continuously and they havent had any issues to report so i dont know how true that is
Thank you Dave for the video. I'm thinking about getting this generator. If I do, would you say it's the only thing I'll need to keep my tub sanitized? Our would I still need something else like hydrogen peroxide or bromine?
I think it’s going to do 90%+ of the work. I like the HP too but if I had to pick one it would be this ozone machine. Works too good
Hello, new to your channel and ice bath. I'm building a rubbermaid 100 ice bath for my garage. I wanted to ask have you ever considered adding a Salt Cell for your cold plunge? Thank you
Yes I have! But I realized that’s not really necessary and I just use a quality water stabilizer and the water stays very clean and clear.
@@DavidMausJr Thank you for the reply!
I have used the same ozone generator for my ice bath, it is located in my garage so when I treat the water (once a week) I leave a fan on blowing on the water and the garage door open. Have you ever had a sore throat from accidental inhalation? I got a slight sore throat the last time I used it.
Oh no! No I haven’t, hopefully it’s just the crazy weather changes (not sure where you live though but here in FL it’s been a roller coaster)
Prices on ozone gens have gone up
Enjoying the content. My two cents. Do not post the neighborhood kids plunging. Its all safe fun but the internet is a sketchy place. It's too much of a liability waiting to happen without parental consent.
👌🏽 you’re not wrong
Damn Dave that thing is 270 dollars that’s crazy!
Everything had gotten more expensive but when I got it it was just under 200.
Def post the kids cold plunging lol
they love it!
PRO -TIP..PLACE BANANAS AND EGGS IN THE REFRIGERATOR, THEY WILL LAST LONGER AND STAY FRESHER
haha good advice
That ozonator only puts out 500mg of ozone per hour into water. Your paying way more for the dual function of air and water. There's others on eBay that put out 2,000mg for 1/4 the price of this one.....
Nice! Yea this was the best i could find on amazon, im sure there are cheaper options out there for sure. Thanks for the tip!
Can you share the one you are referring to
