The Desert Plunge Exclusive is a rotomolded cold plunge tub sold as one listing with a 1/4 HP chiller, a 1200 GPH mag-drive pump and a 50 micron filter. The maker rates it to 39°F and publishes no BTU/hr figure; its FAQ gives a cooling rate of 1 to 4°F an hour in one answer and 2 to 5°F in another.
The tub holds 105 gallons filled to the top, with a suggested fill of 65 to 70 gallons, and is 24 inches deep with an interior 5.5 inches longer than the brand's Wide 450.
It is injected with 2 inches of foam, has a childproof lockable lid with a prop bracket, measures about 62 by 32 by 31 inches outside, and comes in Gray, Stealth Gray and White.
It runs from a standard 110 V outlet, drawing 6.5 A on the product page and 6.2 A in the FAQ, and the chiller must be drained and stored below freezing. The tub alone costs $1,448.00, the chiller alone $628.00, an ozone kit $382.50, a Sirona water kit $143.10 and a fitted cover $242.10.
Shipping is $260 flat in the continental US, with free pickup near Phoenix.
