Step by Step Guide on How to Build a Chest Freezer Cold Plunge/Ice Bath

This is a 21.7 cu foot GE Garage Ready Chest Freezer, which is on the larger end of cold plunger tubs. Yours doesn’t have to be that large, Ive seen some as small as 10 cu ft. The size of your freezer will depend on how much space you’ll need for your body. I’m 5’11 and 185 lbs and i like space, i didn’t want to be cramped up in a weird position.
Total build for my chest freezer after California Tax was about $1300. You can save about $400 with a 15.7 cu ft chest freezer and maybe more if you search for a used one or smaller chest freezer.
Let me know what questions you have in the comments.
Enjoy!!

I use a UV aquarium light and aquarium canister pump filter to keep my chest plunge freezer clean and a inkbird thermostat to keep at temp. I’m also in Sacramento.

attached GFCI ensures more safety when in use, provide electric shock protection and prevent the risks of electrical fire caused by ground fault; it need to push the reset button to restore the power after interruption,please check your devices before push it to ensure the safety

Good video. I have one question. My chest freezer gets an extremly hot surface on the outside during cooling the water down. Is that normal? Does your freezer has this hot temperatures too?

I might’ve missed it but what was the epsom salt for? Cleanliness or just for the soreness (body) thanks

What about the rust in the metal? is it ok after a year? is it good?

How do you prevent rust in the metal? I see a lot of people using a coating or pond shield on the metal walls.

How long does your water stay clean with the hydrogen peroxide? Do you have to keep adding hydrogen peroxide or once per fill?

Hi, is there no issue with the freezer standing outside when its raining?
