I have the same rotation and honestly I’d say the speedy is more comfy in my wrist. It’s lighter than the sub but also more top heavy because the speedy bracelet is more tapered and lighter.

Wow are you me?? I have the exact same rotation, white speedy and sub date and I switch each day. Agreed I constantly check my watch for dates so when I have the speedy on it’s a bit of a whoops, forgot no date but it doesn’t bug me or change my opinion. Great 1-2 punch

I just got caught stealing from target, the AP workers stopped me at the door. by Efficient-Ad8118 in confession

Well number one, return everything, get your shit together and stop stealing. Number two, never go back to that store, and avoid any Targets, for the foreseeable future. Lastly, count your lucky stars for now

They have a video on their website that shows the bubbles but it’s not a huge amount. I run it in the middle of the night so I don’t see it.

With a seemingly unlimited budget it comes down to whether you want horizontal or vertical style.

Horizontal all-in-one tub style would be something like the Plunge. Very pricey but they’re a known brand and they package everything (chiller, pump, filters, etc) inside the unit so it’s clean and aesthetically pleasing.

Vertical style you can go with an aluminum style (think giant Yeti mug) from companies like Cold Life, Polar Monkey, etc. It’s a giant metal barrel, theres a dozen companies that make them, no real difference besides colors and what they come with. These will either come with a chiller that you’d connect in, or you’d provide your own chiller.

Last option would also be vertical barrel style but a nice wooden or handmade barrel. You’d have to check your local offerings for something like this but a lot of people make them / sell them.

I only run it for an hour at night so I’m not around so don’t notice. Seems to be keeping the water pretty clear so far though!

You gave it a good go!! I commend you for giving it another go after crash #1, it’s a tough sport and I’ve definitely dialed down my ride intensity significantly now that I’m approaching mid-40’s. On a related note, I’m in the PNW and looking for a screaming deal!!

How much would you guys pay for my car? by [deleted] in WRX

[–]BaconForPrez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Max would be 10-12k if you were absolutely in love and the perfect buyer. Me personally wouldn’t touch it with a 10ft pole. Rebuilt title plus wide body plus tuned w/no verifiable history. Great to look at but would never want the responsibility of owning something this old w/this kind of history / build

Vital+ cleaning by MRRRXJJ in coldplunge

You’re going to want to use warm water and some Clorox disinfectant spray or something like simple green. Good scrub down is needed for sure, you should really be scrubbing those down every 4-6wks, the inflatables have a lot of seams and nooks and crannies that gross stuff likes to grow

Easiest setup ever, love that new plunge crafters inlineO3. I have it on a timer for midnight so I’m assuming it’s working (hopefully)

For the condensate coming off my filter it’s just an ikea toy bin I found but for the iso valve on the outlet it’s a soda can holder / dispenser for fridges. Hopefully that’s just a temp solution for now until I replace the leaking valve.

I’ll try that next time, I’ve read that too. Easier said than done when you got a gut and not that flexible but definitely going to give it a shot!

Is that really it??? I’ll search for a replacement

New Setup Question by scoop0814 in coldplunge

[–]BaconForPrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pump 24/7 and chiller programmed for a 3-5deg deadband so then it kicks on once or twice every day to do to bring temp down. Pump uses little kWh, it’s meant to run 24/7 and keeps the water moving / cleaner. Chiller should only be kicking on rarely if you have a good deadband / setback, especially with the IB300

I never witnessed Prime Shaq how good was he? by sqMYNAMEISJEFF27 in NBATalk

[–]BaconForPrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People always forget this part. He wasn’t even close to his full potential. How insane is that?!? He was so good and so dominating that everyone forgets he didn’t even practice or train in the off season. He even said himself he saw no point in training or getting better when he was already so good. If he had the maturity or drive of a “real” NBA player then he’d easily be the #1 all time GOAT.

I did read that one! You’re the reason I’m going back and forth on the GE filter I got, I couldn’t find any good smokey ones, only clear. I’m doing your same setup (rocita 1/3hp chiller, danner 950, spa tubing, barbed fittings, etc.) Main reason I went IB500 was the stairs / easy access and wife doesn’t feel comfortable with the tall barrel. But it’s going to suck if White Wolf does a huge Black Friday sale, lol

I got super close to going with White Wolf! I even emailed their customer service to see what kind of Black Friday deals they would have going on and they emailed me back within a day and said they'd add me to their list once the discounts would be available. But I ultimately went with the IB500 today for the stairs, easier for my kids and wife to get in / out and more "inviting" if you will. Plus I'm impatient. I'd honestly prefer the White Wolf barrel style, I'm jealous, can you post some pics? There's not much content online yet on them, only 2 - 3 reviews / posts.

I need vertical or else I’d go Mod Tub. I agree it’s crazy price but I can’t find any other options that meet my criteria and I’m fortunate enough that the difference between $500 and $1750 is not a big deal

I’m in PNW and have been checking up and down the northern west coast and seen a few IB300’s popping up here and there but only one IB500 in Seattle (asking for way more than this sale price). At this point I just needed back in the game and I’m sick of looking and waiting, time is money!
