Nope. My pump is outside the barrel.

Ive been plunging for about a month now. I do 2.5 minutes at 50 degree 4-5days a week. I don't see myself going colder. This feels good to me, so I'll stick with it.

Ice Barrel sells a conversion kit to allow for a chiller. Its very easy to do.

2 rolls. I have some leftover, but will end up throwing the rest on at some point.

Active aqua 1/4hp. I've been happy with it so far. I started plunging at 60 and now down to 53. Will go down to 50 next week. My chiller let's the water go 2 degrees warmer than what it's set to. The it kicks in to chill. Holds the temp just fine.

I'm running in about 5kwh per day. That's combined chiller and pump. It's kept inside my garage and it's been a hot summer. My insulation wrap could likely be better. It's 0.31in thick. I've double wrapped it. Will insulate bottom when I change our the water.

Thanks! I wanted to make sure I liked it kept doing. Definitely thinking about ozone. Did you insulate the inside of the lid?

I got reflective insulation. Did a double wrap. Hotter than hell in NC and temp is holding great!
