I want the option of bringing a pod style tub (and chiller) indoors, but worry about condensation. I'm guessing condensation indoors will already be less than outdoors because it's not 90 degrees inside. If I added the pod wrap, a lid, and maybe even a thick mat - what is your best guess concerning the condensation problem?
The wrap will definitely help a lot and is simply better to have help keep the water colder. Definitely have a mat underneath, preferably in a spot that won’t get ruined should some water get in the floor.
According to Ice Pod's website: "Safe to use - 24volt operating voltage, with adapter at the plug for your safety". Beyond that, I would take the extra precaution and plug it into a GFCI outlet to cut current should it surge at all.
@@samtherock21 I would start without one and see what you think first. I mean the Jet is definitely powerful and moves a good amount of water, but you might find the flow of the pump to be enough.
If the 1/2HP is an option, I'd advise anyone to get that one. The 1/3 is great in that it's cheaper, but it does work harder and doesn't get as cold in extreme heat. I don't know what temp you like to cold plunge, but right now without the insulation wrap featured in the video, it will be tough to go any lower than high 40s.
very helpfull informations, was condidering a chest freezer but this seems just more professional and more longterm :)
This is just my opinion, but I've just never really liked the chest freezer idea. Not to say it's bad because lots of people go that route.

The Ice Pod Jet is a good idea but I'm not a fan of having a connected electric device while I'm in the water. Is there a risk of electrocution?!

@@Recovatech thank you! And do you think it is worth it if you have a chiller? Does the water flow from the chiller give the same effect?

I too live in FL, i plan to keep mine under the shade, but are we okay with a 1/3hp or do I have to go 1/2hp?

Do you use ozone?
Typically, no. I'm not against it by no means, just haven't used it in any of my setups.
