Caring For Your Cold Plunge
Regular maintenance is needed to keep your cold plunge running in peak condition. The built-in UV sanitation system kills most bacteria, but routine water testing, chemical balancing, filter cleaning, and water replacement is still needed.
Please refer to your Cold Plunge User Manual for detailed instructions on how to perform routine maintenance tasks.
Recommended Water Maintenance:
- Once a week - test the water to maintain the proper alkaline, pH, and calcium (hardness) levels, adjusting with the appropriate treatments to keep the water within a recommended range. Our Water Balancing Kit provides the chemicals and the testing strips needed to make these adjustments.
- Once a month - clean the water filter by soaking it in a filter cleaning agent for 24 hours, then rinse and air dry before reinstalling. Tip: We recommend keeping an extra filter on hand to be swapped out during the cleaning process, reducing the down time of your cold plunge.
- Every 3 months - drain the tub and change the water. While the tub is empty, wipe the acrylic liner with a microfiber cloth and soapy water.
- Every 6-12 months - replace the water filter to maintain optimal water quality.
Winter Usage
Your Cold Plunge has a built-in dual heater/chiller and can be used throughout the seasons, whether you are taking an invigorating cold dip or a warm soak. However, when outside temperatures start to dip below freezing, it is time to winterize your tub to protect it from damage.
When temperatures drop below 32°F, you must winterize your cold plunge to avoid ice forming in the internal components and damaging the equipment. Damage caused by use in temperatures below 32 °F is not covered by the warranty.
Please follow your Cold Plunge User Manual for detailed instructions on how to winterize your model of cold plunge.
