The Almost Heaven Glacier is a round cold plunge in rustic Pacific cedar with a plastic liner and a seat, sold as one listing with a separate 0.8 HP chiller (model DCT-SY-08-PRO) that has a filter and an ozone generator.
The product page gives adjustable water temperatures from 37°F to 65°F; no BTU/hr figure or tub capacity in gallons is published. The tub measures 42 in across and 39 in tall outside, 39¼ in across and 33¾ in deep inside, and weighs 187 lb empty.
A cover with locking clasps and a key, and inlet and outlet strainers, come with the tub. The manual allows indoor or outdoor use but says not to run the chill function below freezing.
The chiller's own maker lists a standard 120 V outlet with built-in GFCI, a Wi-Fi app and a heat mode; Almost Heaven's page does not state them.
