Read First Before Setting Up the Plunge

Please read the safety precautions  and Warranty before continuing.

Download the Plunge App

Installing the app is essential for a few important reasons:

• Remote Control: Control the temperature of the Plunge from your phone.
• Metrics Monitoring: We can monitor metrics on your tub to proactively address any potential issues, ensuring your Plunge stays healthy and avoids disruptions.
• Firmware Updates: Our team is dedicated to ensuring your Plunge stays current with the latest firmware. To keep your unit updated, simply stay connected to the Plunge App to receive the update notifications.
• Filter Instructions: The app walks you through the step-by-step process for changing your filter, helping maintain your Plunge’s performance.

Water Chemistry Outline

• We recommend showering prior to use for anyone using the Plunge. This will help maintain the chemical balance in the water.
• Important note: keeping the Plunge All-In Commercial outside will shorten the lifespan of the chemicals due to UV rays and more organic material entering the water.
• The Plunge All-In Commercial should not be filled with well water. Please make sure to properly strip the water with an ion exchange filter before filling the Plunge if you are on well water.
• The Plunge All-In Commercial maintenance protocol is based on cold water only. For more details please refer to this article: Caring for the Plunge All-In Commercial.

Skimmer Details:

The skimmer on the tub has an engraved minimum water line. 

It is important to keep the water level a half an inch to an inch above the minimum water line. If it falls below the minimum water line, air can enter the system and if left unattended can lead to damage. 

The Plunge will arrive with the ball valve to the skimmer closed and the skimmer suction off. We recommend not turning it on until you fully understand the water displacement for your tub and bather load.
If you find you can easily keep the water above the minimum line, then please read the following directions on how to turn the skimmer suction on. 

1. Open the vent on the side with the main tub drain. 
2. You should see the side of the electrical box and if you look past it you’ll notice a colored ball valve. It should be perpendicular to the piping indicating it’s closed. 
3. Turn the valve parallel to the piping and the skimmer suction will turn back on. 

Please do not turn the suction on if you cannot keep the water level above the minimum line consistently.

Drain Information

• Main Tub Drain: When you are facing the tub LED display screen, the main tub drain is located in the right hand vent. The primary purpose of this drain is to empty the tub.
• Jet and Filter Housing Drain: When you are facing the tub LED display screen, the jet and filter housing drain is located in the left hand vent. The only use for this drain is to empty the jets and filter housing for storage/winterization. If used instead of the main tub drain, there will be 3-4 inches of water still left in the tub.
• Heat Exchanger Drain: When you are facing the tub LED display screen, the heat exchanger drain is located in the right hand vent with a small blue ball valve. The only use for this drain is to empty the heat exchanger for storage/winterization. You will not need to use this drain on a routine basis

Important warranty information
Please note that damage caused by freezing conditions or improper water chemistry are not covered under our warranty.

Please monitor your Plunge daily when the outside temperature is close to below freezing to ensure constant flow. If the ambient temperature is below 32°F / 0°C for 12 hours, you must drain the Plunge, filter and chiller and fully winterize the Plunge.

The Plunge should Run 24/7 - Stagnant water is not sanitary for the system. Solidified bio-matter can form inside the pipes and requires a deep clean with hot water to fix. This can also appear if no sanitation is done. Please follow the maintenance protocol included in the manual.

Using an Extension Cord Outdoors

If you plan to use an extension cord, it needs to be 12 gauge to give the plunge sufficient power up to 25 feet. Please refer to NEC requirements for your jurisdiction. 

If you place your Plunge outdoors and use an extension cord, you will need to use a Weatherproof Connection Box – Indoor & Outdoor Electrical Power Cord Enclosure to protect the cord. If you need more information you can reach out to our Plunge Experts by submitting a request ticket on our Help Center or calling us at (916) 914-8911.

Set up

Step 1: Location requirements /!\ DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Install Plunge at least 1.5 meters (5 feet), from all electrical outlets and appliances. Place the Plunge on a solid, level, waterproof surface. When you place the Plunge you want to make sure there’s at least 16 inches of clearance on end with where the component parts live for ventilation.  On the front side there should be at least 12 inches of space to access the drain and for ventilation.  As you face the LED Display, the left side only needs 4 inches from the wall.  We recommend having around 4 inches of clearance from the wall on the other end of the tub from the LED Display so you can lean your head back. In blue is the optimal spacing for longterm maintenance and user experience. In pink is the minimum requirement to keep your manufacturer's and extended (if applicable) warranty active. Not following these requirements will void your warranty.
Step 2: Fill The Plunge Attach the included carbon hose filter to a garden hose.  Run water through it into a drain until the water turns clear.  Then, fill the Plunge with water. Note: Fill until the water is at least ½" to 1" above the “min” line on the skimmer. Failing to keep the water above the “min” could result in damage to the Plunge. Please read the skimmer details for more information. While the Plunge is filling, locate the filter housing screw cap. Press the side of the circular decorative cover to lift it off to reveal the filter housing.  Unscrew the cap to check and make sure the filter is seated inside the filter housing and the O-ring is seated in the crevice of the filter housing. Leave the cap off until the water is above the "min" line. Screw the cap back on and hand-tighten. It should screw on smoothly with no resistance.  Place the decorative cover back on.
Step 3: Plug In the Plunge Once the tub is full you can plug your Plunge into an outlet with a dedicated 120V 15 amp circuit. Note: If there are other appliances on the same circuit, the Plunge may not operate. Please make sure it is plugged into a dedicated circuit.
Step 4: Turning the Plunge On Locate the two buttons on the power cord that say “test” and “reset”.  Press the “reset” button to turn it on.  You should hear the jets turn on and see the LED Display Screen light up with the current temperature.
Step 5: Set Your Temperature Press the up and down arrows on the back of the tub to set your desired temperature. The blue arrow indicates cooling, and the red arrow indicates heating.
Step 6: Operate Light To operate the light, just press the button with the light bulb to turn it on and press it again to turn it off.
Step 7: To Pause the Jets For a quieter Plunge experience, you can pause the jets by pressing the pause button. It will pause in increments of 15 minutes up to an hour. Once the timer runs out, the jets will turn back on and resume circulating the water.
Step 8: Water Maintenance Please refer to the water maintenance manual that came with the kit you ordered. Be sure to balance the water before letting any guests use the Plunge.
