DCT 304 Stainless Steel Cold Plunge Tub

Most saunas and cold plunge tubs ship via LTL freight on a pallet. Delivery is curbside to your driveway or property line. Inside delivery and room placement are not included in standard freight but may be available at additional cost through your carrier. The DCT Premier Edition chiller ships via FedEx or UPS Ground and does not require freight delivery.

Most orders leave the warehouse within 2–5 business days. Freight carriers will contact you to schedule a delivery window before arrival. Please ensure someone is available to receive and sign for the delivery.

All Golden Designs saunas carry a 5-year manufacturer warranty on structure and heating elements. DCT cold plunge tubs and the Premier Edition chiller carry a 1-year manufacturer warranty on materials and workmanship. Electronics and accessories are covered under separate manufacturer terms.

Warranty is fulfilled through the manufacturer. Contact Aurevian Wellness at 551-249-8994 for warranty support, service coordination, or any questions about your product after delivery.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery for items in original, uninstalled condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to all returns. Please contact our support team before initiating a return — we are happy to help find the right solution. Freight return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this tub without a chiller?
Yes. Without a chiller, this tub functions as a premium ice bath. Fill it with water and ice to your desired temperature and use the insulated cover to maintain cold between sessions. Many users operate the tub this way initially and add the DCT Premier Edition chiller later when they want automated temperature control and reduced ice costs.

What chiller is compatible with this tub?
The DCT-S-050-NS-34 is designed to integrate with the DCT-SV-08DO3-34 Premier Cold Plunge Chiller, sold separately. The chiller connects via the tub's built-in inlet and outlet valves and circulates cooled water to maintain a consistent set temperature. No modification to the tub is required for chiller integration.

Can this tub be used outdoors year-round?
Yes. The 304-grade stainless steel interior and Pacific cedar exterior are both suitable for outdoor installation. In freezing climates, the tub should not be left filled with water if temperatures will drop below freezing without a chiller running — standing water that freezes can damage plumbing components. A chiller with a freeze protection mode is recommended for cold-climate outdoor installations.

What filtration does the tub include?
The tub includes connection valves designed to work with the DCT Premier Edition chiller's integrated filtration system. If using the tub as a standalone ice bath without a chiller, water maintenance (changing the water regularly and optionally using an approved water sanitizer) is the user's responsibility. The tub does not include a standalone filter pump.

What are the installation requirements?
The tub requires a flat, level surface capable of supporting the tub weight (320 lbs empty) plus the weight of water when filled (approximately 400–500 lbs additional). Indoor or outdoor placement is acceptable. Access to a drain or the ability to pump out the water is needed for water changes. No electrical connection is required for the tub itself — only for the chiller if one is added.

How is the tub delivered?
The DCT-S-050-NS-34 ships via LTL freight on a pallet. Delivery is curbside. Inside delivery or room-of-choice placement is not included in standard shipping but may be arranged at additional cost with the freight carrier. At 320 lbs, moving the tub into position typically requires two or more people and may require a furniture dolly or appliance mover.

What does the warranty cover?
The tub carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Contact Aurevian Wellness for warranty support.
