Cold Plunge Cooling System

Two Dynamic Cold Therapy chillers are in stock, $3,499 and $3,699 — the 0.8 HP and 1.0 HP Premier Edition units. Nine more are with the supplier and out of stock, including the 0.6 HP models, and those run from $2,499. If price is the constraint, it is worth asking when they return rather than buying up.

What a chiller does that ice does not

A chiller holds the water at a set temperature and filters it, continuously. The alternative is a tub you fill with bagged ice before every session and drain every few days. The equipment costs three or four times as much and it removes the daily task entirely — which is the difference between a plunge you use most mornings and one you use when you have planned for it.

Sizing by horsepower

Horsepower sets how fast the unit pulls the water down and how well it holds against a warm room. A 0.6 HP unit is enough for a small insulated tub indoors; a larger or outdoor tub in a hot climate wants 1.0 HP. Undersized, it runs constantly and never quite gets there. Both live units here also heat, so the same box gives you a hot soak out of season.

Delivery

Dynamic Cold Therapy ships on a 10 business day window. Free shipping to the lower 48, no minimum, and it stops at the curb — the crate is left at the end of your driveway. Getting it inside is a $600 white-glove upgrade. Getting it inside and assembled is $1,800, which covers everything except electrical work: we recommend you hire a local electrician for that, because the wiring has to meet your local code and pass local inspection. Service fees are non-refundable: if the unit goes back, the installation does not.
