How to avoid mold growth on the lid's rubber seal?
After use, dry the top frame of the cold plunge with a microfiber cloth
Prevention: Keep a microfiber washcloth near freezer & always wipe up stray splashes and drops after you get out. Maintenance: Once or twice a month you can wipe it with a 1:1 white vinegar/water solution. Removing current mold: you can use hydrogen peroxide or straight white vinegar, or "cleaning vinegar," which has a stronger acidity. Put the H2O2 in a spray bottle and saturate the areas with the mold. Let it sit on the surface for at least 10 minutes. Use the scruffy side of a sponge. Follow up with a damp cloth. This will deactivate the spores but it may not remove the stains. To remove the stain you'll need a mold stain remover.
Changing the water:
Frequency: Every 3 - 6 months
Takes less than 10 mins!
1) Connect the included bilge pump to a hose 2) Place the bilge pump at the bottom of your cold plunge 3) Carefully, connect the bilge pump to the nearest power outlet 4) Point the hose somewhere where water may flow 5) Once empty use a towel and some vinager to clean and dry the rest of the cold plunge 6) Re-fill it with water until the "MAX" level mark
