DCT 304 Stainless Steel Cold Plunge Tub

The DCT Stainless Steel Cold Plunge is built for people who take cold therapy seriously. Its 304-grade stainless steel interior is the same specification used in commercial kitchen equipment and medical settings — non-porous, corrosion-resistant, and easy to sanitize. Pacific cedar trim on the exterior brings warmth to the appearance while the steel interior handles the work. At 50 inches long, it accommodates most adults fully immersed.

This tub is chiller-ready: the inlet and outlet connections are designed to integrate directly with the DCT Premier Edition chiller system, enabling precise temperature control without daily ice. Used without a chiller, it performs as a high-quality ice bath. The tub includes a lid for heat retention and water protection, a step for entry, and connection valves for chiller integration.

Ships via LTL freight or ground carrier on a pallet. Installation requires access to an appropriate drainage location. The DCT Premier Edition chiller (sold separately) is required for automated temperature control. Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days. Most products arrive within approximately 3–9 business days. Tracking information will be provided once your order ships.

Pair With a Sauna

Cold plunging is most effective as part of a contrast protocol — alternating between heat and cold. The DCT Stainless Steel tub is designed to complement any of the saunas in the Aurevian catalog:

• GDI-8223-01 — Visby 3-Person Outdoor Hybrid Sauna ($16,999): Full spectrum infrared and traditional stove in a weather-resistant composite outdoor structure. A natural pairing with an outdoor cold plunge installation.
• GDI-8202-01 — Narvik 2-Person Outdoor Traditional Sauna ($11,999): A Canadian red cedar interior outdoor sauna with traditional stove — the classic hot-cold combination.
• DCT-SV-08DO3-34 — Premier Cold Plunge Chiller ($3,499): Add a dedicated chiller to this tub for automated, year-round temperature control without ice management.

This product is designed for recovery and general wellness use. Consult your healthcare provider before beginning cold therapy if you have medical concerns. Chiller unit sold separately. Returns are subject to a 25% restocking fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the chiller?
Not to start — without one, this is a high-quality ice bath. The chiller adds set-and-hold temperature control (down to 37°F with the DCT Premier) and removes daily ice management; the connection valves are already installed.

Where can I put it?
Indoors or outdoors — the 304 stainless interior and cedar-trimmed exterior handle both. You'll want a level surface rated for the filled weight and access to a drainage point for water changes.

How does delivery work?
Ships on a pallet via freight or ground carrier; delivery is curbside. At 320 lbs empty, plan two or more people to move it into position.

How do I keep the water clean?
Without a chiller: regular water changes and a cover between sessions. With the DCT Premier chiller: its ozone sanitation and filtration handle day-to-day water quality.

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.
