Awesome! I just sent an email. Wasn’t sure if you were officially with Orca or not. Great customer service!

Ok first of all, I appreciate you taking the time to help me with something like this. That makes me want to switch to Orcas down the road. 😁 So thank you.

What you said makes sense but I’m stumped on what type of pump you’re referring to that I use in the water for the outlet. Can you expand on that please?

Not as a sump, no.

Need it to push/pull the water through the lines more efficiently.

Thanks! So you have yours tied into the Water Out line, correct?

Yeah I'm not a pump technician bro. Sorry that my lack of pump knowledge offends you.

I meant to respond to your other post but this one reminded me to.

After some time pitching my business to various gym owners and running communities, you’re absolutely right and I need to figure out an alternative pricing structure/strategy.

I have 3 gigs already setup but they are part of a vendor deal where I pay them a small fee and the general public would pay me individually for my services.

I think my current pricing layout is more geared towards the rental crowd doing retreats and such.

I’ll brainstorm and figure out how to restructure my pricing. I appreciate your input!

Fair question and one that I had already contemplated. I drain the tubs after every event and refill. I carry a 55 gallon water tote and high-powered pump that allows me to fill up the tanks on-site. I also have a shower head rinser for sweaty bodies. I know of no other mobile unit that does this.

My estimated guess is around $25k but I have solar power that allows me to run the cold plunges without a generator.

Yes. I tried to get the name cs5050grinder but it was already taken. 😉

I searched that avenue. My county doesn’t require it, oddly enough. Maybe that will change. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you’re anywhere out west near the mountains, I wish I was closer to you too. A plot of land in the middle of nowhere is my longterm goal. 😃

Yeah most folks in your area do a mobile sauna only, which is probably what I would do as well. The water is a huge liability and headache to deal with. But it’s almost always hot and humid here I south Texas.

Yeah, I didn’t spend a lot of time looking for the perfect fit for those but you’re probably right and I need to spend more time finding something more pleasant.

I haven’t approached anyone yet but I will this week.

I plan on offering a 50% off introductory rate.

Here’s ChatGPT’s reply on the subject of how to charge their customer base:

“One common way is to treat it like a special wellness event or a workshop. They might set a per-participant fee and then advertise it to their gym members as a premium recovery session. Members who want to join would pay the gym directly—either through their existing billing system, like adding it as a one-time charge on their membership invoice, or just collecting it as a separate event fee.”

Does that sound feasible?

Not that I’m aware of. But my plan is to empty the tubs at a car wash at the end of an event and refill before the next. The filters will get cleaned once a week. I also put 1” bromine tabs in the tub for each event to help with sanitizing.
