Thanks brother, we appreciate you sharing all your feedback. My son and I have been looking into the ice barrel but currently we use our large freestanding tub we’re just over buying tons of bagged ice, definitely appreciate you sharing the chiller hookup.
You should make a video on DIY insulation techniques for the 400. A lot of people still love the 400 and would love to use it without a chiller having their water stay colder longer.
@@DavidMausJr I watched the DIY video (it was amazing) and I kept waffling back and forth "should I" or "shouldn't I" take the plunge with the DIY. Then I thought, which one? 300 or 400. And Voila....here's a video. Thank you!
That is a much needed topic in need of a solution. I'm looking into alternatives myself. I'll definitely share if I come up with any solutions. Please do the same. 🙏🏽🤙🏽
I really want to get my hands on one! Obviously following you and doing my own research (including listening to huberman podcast on it) , I’m convinced! Not only for my recovery and mental fortitude, but I’d be curious how it will help my husband and the stress he endures as a cop of 23 years.
I got mine recently, largely on the advice of this channel, which I appreciate. I'm a small business owner, so not made of money, but regardless of cost (obviously within reason) I can't recommend the 400 enough. I have received numerous benefits form my daily plunges far beyond what I expected, and for 1,200USD I expected quite a bit. If you're considering one and funds and space aren't an issue I highly recommend it. Cheers.
Hey brother love the content as usual! Would you be able to obtain and do a review of the coldture inflatable barrel?? I'm interested in one of those. Thanks!
I just looked those up (there is about 10 cold plunge companies coming out a week) and they are all about the same thing. lol You should check out my review of Ice Up Industries. They were one of the first inflatable barrels and it looks like it is the same manufacturer.
The 400 is legit with the insulation! I've said it before, I love your content. Keep going! It is authentic and you are a family man! #airforce #charlestonafb #medical
Thanks for your videos. I have a cold pod and have been exploring some other options and based on your videos am leaning towards the 400. Any rumors about them making a 400 thats insulated? I'm in NJ. Would insulation help it not get as cold? Trying to keep at 45 degrees and as it gets colder here, probably will freeze, so if i can keep it in the 40s with insulation might be more apt to use it in the winter. Let me know if you could.
My pleasure and thanks for the support! I just posted a review of their new 500. Similar to the 400 but insulated. It’s pretty sweet. No talk of the 400 being insulated yet unfortunately but I would also love that! The 400 is still my personal favorite
I really like the 400. But I was thinking of buying an all in one chiller that also has the option to heat the water. Do you think the 400 is durable enough to handle 103 degree water ? Would the 300 or another option be better ?
Does the chiller run 24 hours? or does it only need to be activated a 1 to 6 hours prior to plunging? If the schedule is to plunge first thing in the morning (0500) - would turning the chiller on at nite (10pm or 2200) allow for sufficient cooling? My cheap vinyl plunge is maintaining 65-70F in ambient air currently - so looking for a 15 degree drop in 6-7 hours seems reasonable. Might be helpful to get a range of hp to cooling range/time to reach guide.
Great question. But theres a few sub-questions to that one: 1. do i have a budget? 2. how much space do i have and can it be semi permanent or do i need to be able to move it easily? 3. Who all is going to be using it and how often?
@@DavidMausJr 1. No budget 2. Space is not an issue. Either semi-permanent or portable 3. Family of 3 but, most likely just one person who will be consistent at least 3-4 times a week.
Ordered a 300 using your code, but I think I really want the 400. This is going in an apartment and I’m worried about the condensation I see on the 400. Is it excessive? Would a drip mat underneath be enough to contain it? Thanks!
That’s awesome! I love the 400. With the chiller setup like I have it does condensate quite a bit, but a drip may would more than likely contain it. It’s also on a stand so that helps too.
Do you typically rinse before getting in or do you have on any lotions, deodorants, etc? I dont like to use much, maybe some hydrogen peroxide, but rinsing before helps a ton
@DavidMausJr After my bedtime shower, i usually lotion up, and then first thing in the morning, i would jump straight in. I figured that could be the cause, so i started rinsing first before going in to see if it helped. It's only been a week, so we'll see. Thank you.
I noticed in the DIY video you drilled two holes for the chiller but in this video, your tan 400 is using the drain spicket for the return. Which do you suggest is better?
Cheers - didn’t realize it came with the stand and step!
Cheers my friend!
I have been wanting one of these for years! Great recovery tool!

Its a great option! Thanks for the love!
Your review was the deciding factor in me going with the 400 over other options. Thank you. I absolutely adore it. Cheers.
So glad to help! Enjoy!
loving the content lately david thanks so much for all the info you give us in the plunge community!
More to come! THANK YOU!

Not a bad idea, might have to do that.

ThNks for the good info! We have been trying to decide which one to get and some of the maintenance requirements, accessories, etc.
Tons of options, I like simple. This is a simple and easy setup.
I really want to get my hands on one! Obviously following you and doing my own research (including listening to huberman podcast on it) , I’m convinced! Not only for my recovery and mental fortitude, but I’d be curious how it will help my husband and the stress he endures as a cop of 23 years.
Its such a game changer for stress. Love to see him try it out!

The 300 looks amazing!
Thanks for all the videos. I’m saving up for a 300 so my kids can use it too
That is awesome!
Awesome video homie!!!
Appreciate it Brother!
Great video!!
Thanks!
Great content! Very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this.
Me too 🤙🏽

Can you review a vector chiller
Havent heard of it and cant find any info on it.

The 400 is still my personal favorite
I would take both if anything to have options or if I have people interested
Thats my setup and its great to have!
Have you found any easier ways to hook up the 400 to a chiller? As a taller guy I think the 400 is really my best option
The 400 is really awesome and i love it too. My DIY continues to be the easiest way to do it from what I can see
I really like the 400. But I was thinking of buying an all in one chiller that also has the option to heat the water. Do you think the 400 is durable enough to handle 103 degree water ? Would the 300 or another option be better ?
for sure! I have heated the water up in mine (both actually) many times and it has no issues.
How wide is the opening at the top?
22.5 inches at the smallest point up top
@@DavidMausJr wow. The info from company says opening is 31”. An 8.5” difference is a lot. Thanks for the answer.
Does the chiller run 24 hours? or does it only need to be activated a 1 to 6 hours prior to plunging?

That should work perfectly
If you had to choose one cold plunge product from all you have tried, which would be your top choice?

Thanks for the reply, I switched my order to a 400. Need that easy dunk ability action.
Nice! You might get that one sooner too@@shred_pow_pow
What do u add to your water other than ice Barrels stabilizer? My water starts foaming aroung the 3 week mark. I use it atleast once day.
Do you typically rinse before getting in or do you have on any lotions, deodorants, etc? I dont like to use much, maybe some hydrogen peroxide, but rinsing before helps a ton

As a tall person, do you find a little difficult to get out of the 400?
Not at all 👌🏽
who makes this those are STEP2 Steps your using .
The steps come with the ice barrel 400 🤙🏽
I noticed in the DIY video you drilled two holes for the chiller but in this video, your tan 400 is using the drain spicket for the return. Which do you suggest is better?
I always play with it. Still a massive fan of my original DIY. No issues ever
