How to Clean a Cold Plunge

A cold plunge needs routine cleaning even when the water still looks clear. The exact procedure depends on your plunge, filtration and treatment system, so the manufacturer's directions come first.

A practical cleaning routine

1. Turn off and drain the plunge according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Remove and service the filter as required.
3. Clean the shell, high-contact surfaces and waterline with products compatible with the equipment.
4. Rinse as directed so cleaning residue is not left behind.
5. Refill with fresh water and restart the treatment routine for your system.

Between full cleans

Keep the plunge covered, reduce contaminants before use, maintain the filter and wipe the waterline before residue hardens.
