Which cold plunge tubs come without a chiller?
7 cold plunge tubs here are sold by their makers without a chiller. 3 of the 7 show a price on the maker's own site; their regular prices run from $1,149.99 to $2,999. Where a maker sells several configurations, the figure is the cheapest.
Plan how you will keep the water cold before you choose a tub, since these makers sell the tub alone and leave ice or a separate chiller to you. Then compare water capacity and the price on the maker's site, and open each product page for the ports or fittings the maker lists.
Picks by the numbers
Each pick is the product that comes first on one figure its maker publishes, with the next ones on that figure after it. Choosing which figures to rank by is our editorial choice; the order on each is the makers' own numbers. None is a judgement of quality, we have not tested these products, and whether we earn a commission on a product never decides a pick.

Prices are the price each maker's own site showed in US dollars on the date shown; the seller's page has the current price. Warranties and safety listings are the makers' own statements, cited on each product page. A price starting 'From' is the cheapest configuration a maker offers, which may leave out the heater or options. Every product here is sold by its maker on the maker's own site. Where a product page carries a paid link (to Amazon or another approved retailer), Saunakivi may earn a commission; no sort order or filter favours those products. We have not tested these products.
