Frequently Asked Questions: Cold Plunge & Sauna Accessories

How do I keep my cold plunge water clean?

Use a combination of filtration and sanitization. Options include chlorine tablets (low dose), bromine, mineral sanitizers, or ozone systems. Change water every 2–4 weeks with regular sanitizer use. A pool test strip kit ($10–15) helps monitor chemical balance.

Do I need a thermometer for cold plunging?

Yes. Temperature consistency matters for tracking your protocol. A waterproof digital thermometer ($15–40) is essential. Analog floating thermometers work but are less precise.

What should I wear in a sauna?

A towel or light cotton/linen clothing. Avoid synthetic fabrics (polyester, nylon) that don’t breathe well in heat. Many people sauna without clothing for maximum skin exposure.

Is a post-plunge robe worth it?

Yes — especially for outdoor setups. A warm, absorbent robe dramatically improves the post-plunge experience and is essential for contrast therapy protocols (sauna → cold plunge cycling). Turkish cotton and microfiber are both good options.
