The Build
Went with an actual small in-ground plunge pool rather than an above-ground tub, plus a residential pool chiller since Florida heat means a plain tub with ice would need constant refilling. The salt system keeps water maintenance low, which matters a lot given how much I use this.
More permanent and more expensive than most builds on this site, but it's genuinely a pool, not a tub, so the comparison isn't quite apples to apples.
Materials List
- Small in-ground fiberglass plunge pool shell
- Salt water pool chiller (residential-grade)
- Basic salt chlorination system
