Before you order
This page gathers what Desert Plunge publishes about the Exclusive, checked Oct 10, 2026, and adds up what it costs to install.
Who should buy the Exclusive?
The Exclusive suits someone who wants a complete chilled plunge for the lowest price we found. Desert Plunge builds it in Arizona around a rotomolded tub that Grizzly Coolers molds in Decorah, Iowa, and the quarter-horsepower chiller comes from Hydrofarm's Active Aqua line.
Penguin's Summit has a bigger chiller and a stainless tub. If you already own a tub, Penguin's chiller alone costs less.
What does it take to install?
The tub measures 62 by 32 inches and needs a footprint of about 77 by 44 with the chiller and a gap to the wall. It weighs 800 to 950 pounds filled. While it chills, it draws 6.5 amps from an ordinary 110V household outlet, and Desert Plunge asks you to keep it out of direct sun.
