@@DanielPlunges How cold does it get?

Pretty sure your chiller will overheat (especially in the summer) without proper ventilation and air flow inside that box. I have 2 vents in my enclosure, the air "inlet" uses an HVAC filter and the "outlet" has a fan that runs continuously to pull air through the enclosure. Also, once you add the venturi, you'll probably notice that the 400gph pump is insufficient. I'm using a 900pgh pump and I still wish I'd gone with the 1200gph one. It moves the water, but doesn't "jet" the water by the time it gets back to the tub. Good start though!

Thanks for the advice, I have been using it with the lid open, I will be adding a vent and fan similar to yours here soon. I have not had an issue with water flow after installing the ozone Venturi, I have had it for a couple weeks now and it works good.

Hi, what do you mean by "jet"- you want an effect like a hot tub massaging, or to intensify the cold effect? Thanks

@hitmanjls30

@@johnclements5535 Not for massaging. The water around your skin will normalize and stop "feeling" cold if the water is not circulating strongly in the tub. When the water is not strong enough coming out of the nozzle, there is little circulation.

What is your water chiller ? Can we have a link plz ?

Couple of questions. 1. Are you having any issues with heat from the chiller in the box with no vents? 2. For the hose going from chiller>tank, was there a reason he has that loop of hose above the chiller? I was told the shorter the hose, the better.

@DanielPlunges

11 күн бұрын

I have been leaving the lid open when it’s running to stop it from getting hot, I will be adding vents, so yes definitely recommend lots of vents. I did not have a 90° connection at the time so I have to do the loop to make it work, I have since changed that to a 90° connection on the chiller so it now goes straight into the tub.

Hi Daniel just want to verify that all you use to seal the 3/4' barb to 3/4" NPT fittings into the strainers is teflon tape; no orings there? The fittings on the pump come with them, so just wondering. Thanks

@DanielPlunges

27 күн бұрын

Yes in my setup I just used the plumbers tape and it worked just fine. You probably could use the same type of oring that’s on the pump but in my opinion it’s not necessary.

The pump you have linked shows a 1/2" outlet on top. How do you get from the 1/2" to the 3/4" piping?

@DanielPlunges

It comes with multiple sized barbs, it has 2 3/4” barbs one of the in and one for out.

Thanks! Bought the chiller and put the Amazon items in my cart. Before I pull the trigger, would you recommend different bulkhead fittings since they leaked? Would you change anything else?

@DanielPlunges

I would use the bulk heads again, I think the reason they leaked was because I used the 1 1/4 drill bit instead of the 1 inch.

@@DanielPlunges Sounds good. Looking forward to your ozone video I left a lengthier comment but YT must have deleted it on account of amazon link I pasted. Here's a shortened rewrite: Have been plunging for 6 months, same tub as you, kept in the garage with a 2" EPS foam cut to sit in the rim ~3" down and a plywood top. I cycle 11 frozen 1 gal water bottles in daily and temps range from 46-66 now that it is mid 90s outside. Last week I insulated the bottom with 2 cans of Great Stuff foam insulation (door and window) and a 50'x1' roll of r8 foam core secured with aluminum tape on the sides (I cut pieces to fit the recesses and make it flat, then wrapped it fully 2x). Temps are now 37-42! I was worried about the reliability of a $250 chiller, but feeling confident now that the tub is well insulated.

This was a great video! How is the chiller working? I have an 80-100 gallon plunge. not looking for it to get very cold...40-50 would be fine for me. Wondering if the the chiller is sufficient for that?

@DanielPlunges

It has been good for me so far, I’m using the bigger tubing and pump. The chiller does come with a pump and smaller tubing I have not used it with that, but I have heard of other people that use it and they said they had no issues. If your interested in something that’s more powerful and also has a way to heat the water then Revx would be a good option use Promo Code DANIELPLUNGES if you go that route. If you buy the chiller+sanitation cabinet+hose kit you could be all set to go without having to do most of the “DIY” I do in this setup. Let me know if you have any other questions, I’m glad you found the video to be good.

Yes, that is correct.

Can you link exactly what you used please. I ordered everything on your list but the parts are not fitting together. Especially the bulkhead. The 3/4 barb with 3/4 npt attaches to the bulkhead correct?? Mine are not matching and will not thread together and they are 3/4. Also, what size are you using with the pump? 1/2 and 3/4th?. Ive been to the home depot three times trying to match these up. Ive been in the PEX section. Maybe that's where I am going wrong. Thanks for the help

@DanielPlunges

No for the bulk head you should use the 3/4 Female GHT. Or you can use a 1/2 Male NPT also. For the chiller I used the 3/4 Female NPT fitting. You should be able to find this stuff in the garden sprinkler section, at Home Depot or Lowe’s.

How long does it take it to get down to cold temps? I live in south Florida and this is gonna be outside under an enclosed area.

I clicked the link for the chiller that you used. It takes me to Wal-Mart's website and according to the specs, it says the temp range is from 68-78 degrees....so how are you able to get this to chill lower than 68?

@DanielPlunges

Not sure why the specs say that, the machine can be set all the way down to 32°f I have gotten mine to hold 35 no problem. I wonder if it says that because of the small pump it comes with, as you can see I used a different pump and tubing.

Hello Daniel, thanks for a detailed setup video. I want to purchase the chiller you recommend, but noticed in their manual that it chills water from 68℉-79℉, but you seem to have no issues getting it down to 35°F. Are their specs incorrect, or does any other piece of equipment you used helps in getting the temps down to the desired 35°? Thanks in advance

Your welcome! The chiller is made for fish tanks so that’s what they designed the instructions for I assume. The chiller does come with 1/2 tubbing and a small pump, that could be the reason they don’t think it will go lower, with the bigger pump and tubbing I use, it can chill the water much lower.
