I always wanted to have my own ice bath setup but it seemed expensive and wasting so much water. The idea of using frozen water bottles is brilliant! Thanks, now I can have my long-wanted wish ❤
This is the coolest comment EVER!! So happy I can help you out, I made this video because I had the same dream. Subscribe to see me test the new self cleaning and temperature regulating tub I got!!
srsly i never thought of such a simple idea yet so useful hahah
For a daily or weekly use, how you keep the water clean? Or refuel the water every single time?
I just bought this for the same purpose and I’m trying to innovate a way to filter the water because I was also concerned about waste.
"The idea of...frozen water bottles is brilliant." - thanks! I've been using it for nearly 3 months now simply because 2kg ice bags cost me NIS10 = about USD2.5.
Months ago I told my uncle I was going to use a heavy duty tote box for ice submersion, and he proceeded to tell me that it would rupture. Two days later on his day off, we went to a farm supplier and bought the 150 Gallon Rubbermaid. He’s the man of wisdom.
Yes dude I love it!!! A wise man indeed 🤭🤜🏼🤛🏼
Kudos to you for following the wisdom of those who've gone before. May your relationship with your uncle and other close relatives grow stronger in these trying times and your days be both productive and challenging. Keep getting stronger, brother, and cherish your blood as though every day may be y'alls last. 👍
Any reason you prefer the 150 over the 100? Thanks, and kudos!
@@keithb4077it depends on your size. I’m 6 1 and 230, a 100 gallon works perfectly fine. 150 gallon is if you’re really wanting room. I think 100 gallon is easier to get to the temp I want.
Buy a horizontal broken fridge. Heck if someone has it and the compressor is not reparable he probably give it to you for free just to get it out of the way. And their bucket is water proof and they have usually some form of drainage. If you find one with sliding doors like the ones that are in convenient stores even better. Best solution is to by a functioning horizontal fridge and make it easy for yourself. Buy a cheap one, few 00s of $s, big enough to sit in it, nothing fancy. You ll need one either way to freeze so much water every day. Even better find a closing 7/11 and buy a professional one but for the same price. They are heavy duty ones, and big, and they will last you for a while.
Pro tip for insulation, get a sheet of 2" thick styrofoam board, cut it out to be as close to the exact size of the top of the opening of the tub, then attach it to a sheet of plywood/MDF so that when you're not in the tub it will keep critters and bugs out, and can keep the cold in.
How would you attach it to the plywood?
You could either glue it or screw it, glue would be the best way I would think since styrofoam cracks

You can buy two and drill fill holes in the outside trough to put spray foam into and make it more insulated. That’s what I did. Totally worth it especially if you have more than one person using it at a time.
Or you can dig a hole.
I’m spending almost 100 a week for ice alone. This idea is brilliant!
Great idea and video! How often do you change out the water in the tub? Do you use any chemicals to keep the water sanitary? Thanks
Why didn’t I think of the water bottles!!! Great tips. Just starting cold plunges. Been doing them from my bath but it’s super annoying to keep filling up. Lol.
It’s amazing how well they work! Welcome to the cold plunge community!
I just started the ice bath recently. Every time I did an ice bath, a bag of ice cost me a lot of money. In Florida, it's expensive. So I was thinking, "How can I do this with less expense?" Your water bottle idea was brilliant. Thanks a lot.
I used water bottle a few years ago but even with 2 cases it doesn’t get nearly cold enough. I also bought a freezer just for the bottles because 2 cases is a lot of freezer space, but they take more than a day to freeze solid once thawed out. It works ok if you do it occasionally and don’t want it really cold (depending on time of year and location anyway) I ended up buying an ice machine at Home Depot for a couple hundred dollars. Makes enough ice to get it to the low 40’s even in Texas summer.
What’s is your water volume and how many lbs of ice you use daily to cool down to 40f in texas? Must be a big ice machine and expensive
What ice machine did you buy?

What ice machine did you buy?
I got one from Home Depot called Vevor or something like that for around $300. It says it makes 120 lbs in 24 hours but if you empty it as soon as it fills all day you might get 70-80lbs. It does a way better job than the bottles did because the ice melts all the way pretty fast where the bottles took a really long time to melt and often didn’t. Anyway, that’s my 2¢. I get mid 30’s to low 40’s every morning in the Texas heat.
TY, Nick! I'm buying this setup for sure. Great, informative vid. Cheers!
Awesome video bro! Gonna try to get a setup pretty similar to this!
You’re awesome for this comment! Subscribe for more 🤷🏼♂️💭
Down in Texas it takes about $20 worth of ice bags to cool the water to 48-50 degrees. After about 100 ice baths that’s $2000!! I’ve decided to invest into a chest freezer.
Really wish you made content more often bc I would totally watch!! Thanks
WOW THANK YOU! Seriously so flattered. This year I’ll be posting a ton so make sure to subscribe!! Next video will be testing the cheapest self cleaning and temperature regulated cold plunge I’ve found on the market!
Thank your for making this video. It really motivated me. I'm headed out to get my supplies. :)
NICE XAVIER!!! Lucky to help amazing people like you 🥹👏🏼
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen thank you so much
This is a great alternative the only thing with a cold plunge is that it circulates the water inside so it allows you to get the most benefits. If you get in an ice bath and don't move eventually you will warm up the water around you until you fidget or move around
You can get water chillers that can do the same thing
It was a 110 deg in Texas. On a Sunday morning. I just got tired of the heat and went down to TSC to get my tank. for only 97 dollars. out the door. With in min i was relaxing in a nice cool tanks. Made my summer much much more enjoyable 👍👍 Plus i only put 30 gallons of water in it to be the perfect height. I like it so much ! That i painted the inside of the tank > SEASIDE BLUE. this color > 💦💦 The out side and bottom. I gave it 3 heavy coats of Amour All 👀 Boy it drank it up > If you don't have one? Get them while there in supplies. You will love it
Thank you!!!! I'm definitely making one of these.
You're a GENIUS😂, this whole idea is GENIUS! Thank you🙏🙏🙏
If you guys have the budget I would strongly recommend buying a solid ice maker and some little bags to store the ice, gets my water to 8 degrees Celsius and I spend about $219CAD on it
Thanks for making this. Going to try it out.
Very informative. Will get to making it happen!
I love the iced water bottle idea!!🤯 That’s freaking brilliant!
Amazing work ! You video got my family and I interested in doing this ! Do you think this is worth doing if winter is coming ? If so , do you have any strategies (e.g how can we maintain it I'm the winter , any additional items to support winter usage, etc) thanks in advance from the Rodriguez family! 🙏💕
Such a cool comment thank you guys for being here!! If your planning on doing it in the winter I recommend keeping the setup near your garage door so it stays cold but not freezing to the point where the water is at a dangerous temperature!! You can also start with cold showers 🧼 so thankful to have you guys here! Subscribe for more 👏🏼
Funny I bought the same two tubs. The first smaller tub was only $39 and I used straps to secure it so it wouldn’t bust (now use it for storage). The second one was $99 (same as yours) at Tractor Supply and it works great. Very sturdy and I am fully immersed. I do it with a friend for safety. We go for 11 minutes but will shoot for 15. I agree that while it is cold, you start to relax. Make sure you move around.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Dude I just want to say thank you for the frozen water bottle idea that's the part I was having the most trouble trying to figure out great tip
Try big blocks of ice too!!! Both work really well but not everyone has space in their freezer for a 3-5L block of ice lol! Glad you enjoyed! Also: go check out the other video I just posted on how you can get a temperature regulated and self cleaning cold plunge for less than you spend on ice each month!!!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing
Great idea ! Thanks so much
Great content! I am making one of these for indoor use and I love the frozen water bottle concept. I came close to buying a commercial ice maker, but will use that towards a chiller down the road. I love how you opened the content with the failure first, great video sir! #Firmhandshakes
I hope I will try this in the near future. It looks interesting as hell ! And cold 🥶
I wish the tub was a little longer so the legs could stay relaxed. Nice video anyway !
In the fall and winter you could buy a submersible water heater and make this a hot tub.
You could also make a foam cover for it to help keep it cool or hot longer.
Hey! Awesome video, thanks. Did it come with a lid ??
Amazing exactly what I needed thanks for the idea

How to make an icebath under 150.
Turn your bathtub faucet on cold and put ice in
We can name the video, how to waste 50 gallons of water every day when you can instead make it last 7-10 days! Lol jk, but seriously wasting water is not cool 😎
You got my subscription! Thanks for the usefully information!
YOU ROCK NATE! Next video I’ll be testing a new setup that’s self cleaning and temperature regulated!
I’ve always been interested in ice baths but I couldn’t ever do it consistently because I had to buy 6 packs of ice, using water bottles is an amazing idea! I’ll try this method out tomorrow and let you know how it goes 👍
did u try it
@@chimp510 I think he had a cold water blackout
Awesome video bro , earned a sub. Seem like a great guy and the water bottle idea is brilliant
I was thinking of doing this also, but using larger containers like milk jugs, since I have a large chest freezer
Nick, how often do you replace the water in the tub and how often do you replace the water bottles? I’m assuming you don’t have to replace the water bottles much and you’re just putting them back in the freezer after using?
Awesome job man thanks!
Thank you Jeff! Make sure to subscribe because in about 2 weeks I’m posting my video review of the cheapest temperature regulating and self cleaning cold plunge on the market!
Frozen bottles for the win! Thanks for the idea!
Does this work if you just use the water bottles in the packaging? Also just FYI, staying still causes a sort of shield of warm water around your body. Its actually more intense to move around a bit because you prevent that shield from forming. Try it out and thank me (or hate me) later.
Thank you!
Glad I watched the entire vid. Don’t buy the wrong tub is great help!
Cold water blackout. 🤔 also glad I learned that. 👍🏼
Thanks for the video 👊🏼
Duuudddeeee so genius with the water bottles!!!
I’m 17 and been doing 20$ of ice every time.Since I’m in AZ it barely gets to 50 with all that ice. Genius I’m just gonna freeze three cases for next time🤝
A cheaper way would be to fill your bathtub up with cold water and throw 20 bottles of frozen water in
I love how you have the ancestral tenets on the back of your shirt 😆
Did you get the plastic tank or the structural foam tank? They look similar but just wanted to know what one you got.
Excellent, thank you.

This is a great idea. What about a lid? Also, do you filter the water at all or how often do you change the water in the tub?
How long can you use the water in the tub before you need to change it out. Seems like it may start to grow mold or algae if you don't change it out. Maybe you can add some epsom salt to make the water last longer.
I would like to know as well
That awesome! I think I’ll use this method

Good video. Thnx!
If you want it a tad bit colder make sure to maintain a little movement in your limbs so the thermal layer doesn’t build.
Going to go to tractor supply and buy one of these! Thanks Nick
Just use your bath tub, or put the money towards a chest freezer.
great video...how tall are you?..that tub looks great
Legend mate, I really like your video, I will also try to make myself one
Would layering two of the first tub (70gal HDX) you tried that didn’t hold the have worked? I liked that 70 gal because it would be easier to drop the temperature lower and faster with less water and based on you sitting in it at Home Depot it looks to be a perfect size. Anyone else try this? Or is there a reason it’s not doable?
Excellent idea of going to tractor supply. I would not have thought about the water being too heavy for the first tub.
How long will the water stay usable and what are you doing for draining.
Hi Thanks for your video. If you leave this outside in the winter (im in NJ) to freeze, would it break the plastic?
What temperature should we get the water to before entering?
Brother, you saved me probably 200-1000 dollars, thanks for being practical and smarter than me.
Dang, nice idea.. regarding the water bottles.. What was the temp of your water at plunge time? I don't think one needs it to be 34 degrees especially if your just starting.. 50 would be cold in my estimation..:) I was looking into metal cattle troughs too.. ?? thx
Going to try this at Tractor Supply. They have 100gal stock tank for $99 right now.
Tag me on Instagram or tik tok once you get it set up!!!
How tall are you? Curious if the larger 150 gal tub is better based on my size. Thank you for the R&D on this! Great video!
I’m 5’11” but I would be shocked if this didn’t fit just about anyone. Even if you have to crunch up a little bit the amount of time and effort you’d save with about 50 less gallons of water is worth it! Hope that helps, DM me on insta if you have any more questions 🙏🏼
I’m looking to add an ice tub and I was not sure if i should get the 150 or 100 gallon tub, is the 100 gallon tub big enough for someone who’s 6 ft tall 200 lbs?
Great video! I'm curious how tall you are and what was temp before ice water bottles and how long did it take to cool? What was final temp you got to? Curious also what health benefits you've noticed improved by doing this and how often a week do you do it. I'm seriously considering using your plan! Thank you.
Hey! The water Bottles can get It very cold, and if you want colder just add more! This practice has changed my life and level of discipline forever! It’s tough but it makes me tough! Subscribe to see my video testing the cheapest self cleaning and temperature regulated cold plunge I’ve found on the market!
@@GetAheadWithNick That's what I really want to know what health benefits have you experienced? And how many times/week and for how long each session do you do?
@@leveragefx Every day if possible but if that doesn’t work for you, you need to do at least 11 minutes within a seven day period to get all the benefits that this offers. Believe me, it’s not easy, but when you feel the benefits afterwards, you’ll become addicted. Good luck….👍
@@GetAheadWithNick He asked what the final temp was though. You never said what it was lol
@@Tomiply for you to get the benefits of the cold plunge your water temp has to be below 64f but usually people do it at around 50f.
Considering this very product for a DIY. How often do you have to change water? I see some people are putting in a chlorine wafer in a floatie. Hearing about 1 month before changing with regular use. What say you?
solid back yard spot there, do a tour on your back yard
Did the new tub come with a lid? If not have you came up with a solution?
How many water bottles did you put in and what was the temperature?
Frozen water bottles are a great idea. Cheers for the video
Where are you fitting all of these water bottles? You'd have to have a lot dedicated freezer space. I use a small chest freezer as my tub because it holds the water temp pretty well, and am thinking of getting a countertop ice maker to supplement what I can fit in my freezer.
Brilliant Mate. Do you think the rubbermaid 100 gallon tub you chose will last a long time with daily use?
OH yeah I do. It’s literally indestructible. I don’t think I could break it if I tried lol. Also: go check out the other video I just posted on how you can get a temperature regulated and self cleaning cold plunge for less than you spend on ice each month!!!
How long do you guys generally stay in an ice bath
Quick question, do you ever have an issue with bacteria buildup in the tub? Do you have to drain the water like every week or so?
Most definitely need to clean and sanitize regularly.
Do you have to change the water each time
Okay so since I live in Florida and it’s 90 degrees during the day wouldn’t the water be so hot id have to dump it everyday lol?
Will 2 cases of frozen water bottles bring the water temperature below 60 degrees F? Ideally, I want my plunge to be in the 40-50 degree zone.
I found using a half dozen 32 oz Walmart seltzer bottles work. I cut the top quarter off so when dump in they come out like big ice cubes. Leaving in sealed bottle the ice insulates not giving full cold affect. When done full my open top bottles and into freezer. Those couple extra degrees cold I get makes a difference.
“It’s so peaceful, yet so chaotic…its beautiful”

😂😂😂 that’s the best way to put it!! Subscribe to see my video testing the cheapest self cleaning and temperature regulated cold plunge I’ve found on the market!
I want to try it out, but honestly i might just keep the bottles cased together still and just put my legs around ot or something so i dont have to scoop thek all out lol. Also might try using some big ice molds as well, or freeze a few empty milk jugs and leave them in overnight since i want to do it early morning before the sun is out so even it the summer it would already start out fairly cold
how long can u use the water in the tub before needed to change ?
Did you take any water out of the bottles? Be afraid of them breaking after time. Either way I love this and doing it this weekend! Just gotta find a Tractor supply
how long does the cold water last in the tank? without putting any more bottles?
Which tub did you buy from tractor supply?
I tried discussing margins with ice barrel and they keep leaving me on read. It’s ridiculous the margins I bet they have. $1200 for something that I truly feel cost them less then $200 to manufacture might even be closer to $100. Shark tank would love the margins of them😂 like sell it for 500 you will get more sales overall and make more
It’s CRAZY what they charge. I wanted one so bad for the longest time but I am so happy I did this instead. Seriously the same thing 😂 they would do great on shark tank
Someone at Ali Baba will copy the Ice Barrel and sell it much cheaper.
@@mattp4079 Let me know when they do! I checked, nothing good yet lol
I good chiller unit alone costs around £700-£1000. On top of that got bespoke tank and then all the pumps filtration and sanitation. Then the actual manufacturing process not to mention they need to make a profit
@@chrismakara-howe9792 They don't have a chiller. It's literally just a plastic barrel. $1200
