Description
The Desert Plunge Exclusive Cold Plunge Tub w/ 1/4 HP Chiller
The Desert Plunge Exclusive is the first cold plunge tub designed by and exclusive to Desert Plunge, manufactured in the USA by Grizzly Coolers to the same high-quality standards trusted by outdoor enthusiasts for decades. This exclusive model features 5.5 inches of additional interior length compared to standard models, providing enhanced leg room and a more spacious cold therapy experience. Built with the same rugged durability that Grizzly coolers are famous for, the Exclusive is injected with 2 inches of foam insulation for superior temperature retention and features a durable rotomolded construction that stands up to daily use both indoors and outdoors. The integrated 1/4 HP chiller system cools water down to 39°F without ice, while the 1200 GPH mag drive pump and water filtration system keep your plunge clean and ready for your next session. With a 23 7/8-inch depth allowing full chin-to-water submersion, this plunge comfortably accommodates users up to 6'8"+ tall. The childproof lockable lid includes a prop latching bracket to hold it open during use, and ozone-ready holes for optional advanced sanitation. Setup takes approximately 10 minutes with prefabricated fittings and clear video instructions—simply fill, plug into a standard 110V outlet, and begin your cold therapy journey.

The 5.5 inches of extra interior length means you can stretch out comfortably without feeling cramped—a game-changer for taller individuals or anyone who values space during their plunge sessions. The superior 2-inch foam insulation maintains consistent temperature even in extreme climates, reducing energy consumption while ensuring your plunge is always ready when you are. With the integrated 1/4 HP chiller cooling to 39°F, you'll experience true cold therapy benefits without the hassle, expense, or inconsistency of buying ice. The 1200 GPH pump provides vigorous circulation that keeps water filtered and evenly chilled, while the deep 23 7/8-inch design allows full-body immersion for comprehensive recovery. The Grizzly Cooler construction means this isn't just a cold plunge—it's a piece of equipment built to withstand years of daily use, extreme temperatures, and the kind of abuse that lesser tubs can't handle. The childproof lockable lid provides peace of mind for families, while the optional ozone sanitation (sold separately) offers a chemical-free, hands-off approach to water maintenance. Whether you're recovering from intense training, boosting mental clarity, or building resilience through cold exposure, the Exclusive delivers professional-grade cold therapy in a space-efficient, USA-made package that's designed to last.

Care and Maintenance
Plunge Placement: Your Desert Plunge Exclusive should be placed out of direct sunlight. Select a location in a garage, under a patio cover, umbrella, or shaded area to avoid midday sun exposure. The tub is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use when properly protected from direct UV exposure.
Water Treatment: While the integrated filtration system keeps water clean, additional sanitation is recommended to eliminate bacteria and viruses. Two primary options are available:
Ozone Sanitation (sold separately): A chemical-free option where an ozone generator attaches to the back of your plunge using the pre-installed ozone-ready holes. The generator releases ozone into the water on a timer schedule, providing hands-off maintenance. Users must rinse off before entering and wear only swimsuit material, as ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent. Note: In freezing climates below 20°F, ozone tubing requires monitoring for blockages and should not be used.
Sirona Water Maintenance Kit (sold separately): A chlorine-free and bromine-free chemical treatment added based on weekly water testing (pH strips included). Sirona is a stronger cleaning agent than ozone, ideal for multiple users or less diligent pre-rinse routines. Testing and dosing information available on the Desert Plunge care and maintenance page.
Routine Maintenance:
- Replace filter cartridges as needed (typically every 3-6 months depending on usage)
- Clean intake strainer regularly to ensure optimal pump performance
- Test water weekly if using Sirona treatment
- Drain and refill every 3-6 months depending on usage and water treatment method
- Wipe down interior surfaces as needed
