I built my own DIY Ice bath from a chest freezer and this is how I did it!

- Last year I started getting into ice bathing for an abundance of reasons. My setup has evolved with time, and I absolutely love what I have now. I found that I like to keep it around 7 celsius, and the InkBird does that perfectly.
UPDATE posted at the bottom.
Where to buy the parts (Amazon links):
1. Chest freezer (Kenmore 15 Cu.ft) $300 - used on Facebook marketplace
2. UV light to keep algae from growing - amzn.to/43cJuAo
3. Water filter, circulation & oxygen-adding system (480 GPH or 1,800 L/H). This is the only item I might upgrade later - amzn.to/3PN07PU
4. Epsom Salt to keep water clean and it feels great - amzn.to/3NK10Gn
5. GFCI Extension plug, safety first! amzn.to/3O5d1aH
6. Inkbird WIFI controlled temperature system - amzn.to/3DoZW6h
7. Clear Silicone Waterproof Sealant - amzn.to/3JP9yuD
8. Waterproof Patch and Seal Tape - amzn.to/3JRuukG
9. Grounded Switch Tap with on/Off Button - amzn.to/3JRawGJ
10. Scrubber Brush - amzn.to/3rgNQZT
11. Hand Skimmer - amzn.to/3O901Be
12. Spa Vacuum - amzn.to/3ub8n3P
13. Bluetooth Bone Conduction Headphones - amzn.to/3PPAdeu
I use the headphones for work, jogging, etc. They are really cool technology.
All prices are in CAD (Canadian funds).
Time to channel your inner Wim Hof ;)
UPDATE (One year later):
~ The freezer works perfectly, I love it
~ The epsom salt and filter surprising keep it very clean
~ Make sure to clean out the filter once and a while
~ The UV light is defective and stopped working, they refuse to replace it
~ Zero leaks to report!
~ The bottom of the freezer collect dust from outside that the hand skimmer won't pick up so I added a spa vacuum (amzn.to/3ub8n3P)
~ The sticker on the front of the Inkbird fell off, they sent a new one
well done bro! keep up the healing!
Thank you sir! I will cannon ball in there today thinking of ya
What's the size of the freezer? Can you please share the model?
Kenmore 15 Cu.ft chest Freezer. What you like the exact model? It was used but in excellent shape
@@JessiJohnson1 thanks, no size was enough
Thanks! great video. How do you change the water? Is there a opening at the bottom? Do you see any problems to keep that system outside in Germany? I mean because of the rain sometimes snow in the winter a minus degrees. Thanks in advance.
Hi Hannes! I leave mine out year-round, and it gets to -15 Celsius (rarely, but it can happen). There is a drain at the bottom of the freezer. I keep this covered so it isn't touched by rain or snow. The filter system works surprisingly well for what I paid for it. I do refresh (clean out) the filter every 3 to 4 months. The bag of Epsom salts really keeps it clean. I only need to change the water every six months, and realistically, I probably don't even need to then. It's still very clean at that point. I don't go in with sunscreen on, and I'm generally a very clean person, so I wouldn't contribute immensely to polluting the tub. I do use a suction system to get any dust that accumulates on the bottom, as well as a skimmer for the top. I'll add those links in the description if I haven't already. They're cheap and very helpful.
