Shipping & Delivery
Shipping & Delivery
Your order ships free from the manufacturer's California warehouse on a strapped pallet via insured LTL freight. Orders are processed within 2 business days, and delivery to most addresses in the contiguous US takes 5–7 business days after shipment. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.
Scheduling your delivery. The freight carrier will reach out before the truck rolls — most carriers call 24–48 hours ahead to lock in a four-hour delivery window. Some carriers (including R+L) send an email or text the morning of delivery instead. Respond promptly either way. If the carrier can't reach you and misses 2–3 delivery attempts, terminal storage fees kick in and the item may be returned at your expense.
What to expect at delivery. A 53-foot semi-truck arrives at your curbside. The driver uses the truck's built-in liftgate to lower the pallet to ground level — that's where their responsibility ends. Standard delivery does not include bringing the equipment inside, up stairs, or unpacking. Plan ahead: have help available to move it once it's off the truck. Someone must be present to sign for the delivery.
CRITICAL — inspect before you sign. Walk around the pallet and check every box before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any scratches, dents, or scuff marks directly on the delivery receipt. If you see a large hole, crushed corner, or obvious structural damage, refuse the delivery — we'll ship a replacement at no cost. Signing a clean BOL releases the freight carrier from all liability. A damage claim cannot be filed after a clean signature. This takes two minutes and fully protects you.
Good to know. If your address changes after the order ships, contact us immediately — carrier re-routing fees may apply and will add transit time. If your location cannot comfortably accommodate a 53-foot semi-truck (island, remote road, gated community, narrow access), contact us before ordering so we can arrange an appropriate solution.
Free freight applies to standard residential curbside delivery within the contiguous 48 US states. Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada are not available at standard checkout — contact us before ordering for a freight quote. Transit times are carrier estimates, not guarantees. Applies to all Golden Designs Inc. brands: Dynamic Saunas, Maxxus Saunas, and Dynamic Cold Therapy. View our full Shipping & Delivery policy →
Return Policy
Return Policy
We stand behind every product we sell. If it's not the right fit, you have 30 days from delivery to return it — and if you need to cancel before it ships, you can do that within 24 hours of purchase at no charge.
How to start a return. Email us your order number at sales@recoveryroomdirect.com and we'll issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number within one business day. Write that number clearly on the outside of every box before handing it to the carrier — the warehouse will not accept returns without it.
Condition required. The item must come back new, unused, and in its original packaging with all components, hardware, and accessories included. Items that have been assembled, used, or modified cannot be returned. Electronic components — power supplies, control panels, and accessories — are non-returnable under manufacturer policy regardless of condition.
What it costs to return. We want to be upfront about this: returning large freight equipment has real costs. The manufacturer charges a 20% restocking fee on all returns, and you are responsible for the return freight. If your original order shipped free, the actual outbound freight cost is also deducted from your refund. Any storage or carrier routing fees incurred during the return process are the buyer's responsibility as well. Once the item arrives at the warehouse and passes inspection, your refund is issued within 5 business days to your original payment method.
Damaged on arrival? That's a different process entirely — and you're fully protected. If you refused the delivery and documented the damage on the Bill of Lading, we handle the freight claim and ship you a replacement at no cost. No restocking fee, no return shipping. This is exactly why we ask you to inspect carefully before you sign.
The manufacturer warranty covers defects that arise after the 30-day return window. See full warranty terms at goldendesigninc.com. Questions about your order? Call us at 1-888-500-5675 or email sales@recoveryroomdirect.com — Mon–Sat, 9am–6pm EST. Applies to all Golden Designs Inc. brands: Dynamic Saunas, Maxxus Saunas, and Dynamic Cold Therapy.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Pacific Cedar Cold Plunge with 304 Stainless Steel Interior — 135 Gallons, Built to Last
The DCT Pacific Cedar Barrel is a round cold plunge tub with a 304 stainless steel interior lining, an external Pacific Cedar shell, and a built-in ozone filtration system. At 42 inches in diameter and 39.5 inches tall, it holds approximately 135 gallons and accommodates users up to 6’6”. A stainless steel bench seat, insulated cover, and Pacific Cedar entry step stool are all included.
At $3,299 (compare at $3,699), this is the tub. Chiller is sold separately — DCT recommends pairing with their 1.0 HP Premier or 1.0 HP Standard chiller to reach the full 37°F minimum temperature. The built-in ozone generator and filter cartridge system handle daily sanitation independently.
Affirm financing available at checkout.
What Sets the SS Barrel Apart
304 SS is the same grade used in commercial food prep and medical equipment. It resists corrosion, doesn’t absorb organic contaminants, and doesn’t require the same chemical treatment as acrylic or plastic interiors. The seamless stainless lining makes the barrel easier to clean and more durable over years of daily use than PVC or polymer alternatives.
The GFCI control box runs an automated ozone cycle for 2 hours daily — breaking down bacteria and biofilm without chemical additives. The integrated 20-micron filter cartridge catches particulate before water cycles back through. DCT recommends replacing the filter cartridge every 4 weeks with regular use. This is the only tub in the DCT lineup with filtration included regardless of chiller purchase.
The Pacific Cedar exterior is naturally rot-resistant and aromatic — common in high-end outdoor tubs and spas. The included cedar step stool (19.69”W × 22.5”D × 22”H) makes entry straightforward at the 39.5” barrel height. An integrated stainless steel bench seat lets you adjust soaking depth inside the tub rather than standing through every session.

Free Freight Shipping — Contiguous 48 States
The SS Barrel ships via LTL freight carrier at no charge. Curbside delivery on a pallet to the contiguous 48 states. Estimated transit: 7–14 business days from order date.
A filled barrel weighs approximately 1,100 lbs. Place on grade-level concrete, a deck rated for 100+ lbs/sq ft, or a reinforced floor. Have 2–3 people available on delivery day — the barrel is 200 lbs empty. Position before filling; it cannot be easily moved once full.
The barrel arrives assembled. Place it, attach the step, and fill with water. If connecting a chiller, attach hoses to the quick-connect fittings (hand-tight). No tools needed for setup. You can be in the water the same day it arrives.
Cedar Barrel (SS) vs. Cedar Oval Barrel
| Feature | Cedar Barrel (SS) — This Product | Cedar Oval Barrel |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $3,299 | $2,299 |
| Interior Material | 304 Stainless Steel | PVC Liner |
| Capacity | ~135 gallons | ~50 gallons |
| Shape | Round upright | Oval horizontal |
| Exterior Height | 39.5” | 34” |
| Diameter / Length | 42” diameter | 50”L × 30”W |
| Filtration Included | Yes (ozone + 20-micron filter) | No |
| Entry Step | Yes — cedar step stool included | Lower entry height (34”) — step not confirmed in box |
| Best For | Higher-volume use, SS durability | Smaller space, quick-chill, budget-first |
Honest take: The Oval Barrel is $1,000 less and adequate for solo daily use in a 50-gallon footprint. The SS Barrel earns the premium three ways: larger capacity, stainless interior, and built-in filtration that doesn’t depend on buying a chiller. If you’re building a long-term cold therapy practice and want a maintenance-friendly system, the SS Barrel is the right call.
DCT Pacific Cedar Barrel (SS) — FAQ
What is the difference between the Cedar Barrel (SS) and the Cedar Oval Barrel?
The Cedar Barrel has a round upright shape, a 304 stainless steel interior, and a 135-gallon capacity. It includes built-in ozone filtration and a 20-micron filter cartridge as part of the tub — no chiller required for the sanitation system to operate. The Cedar Oval Barrel is elongated (50″L × 30″W × 34″H), holds 50 gallons, uses a PVC liner, and does not include filtration — sanitation comes with the chiller when purchased together. The Oval Barrel is $1,000 less and easier to step into at 34″ tall. The SS Barrel is the right call if you want a larger capacity, stainless durability, and an independent filtration system.
What chiller do I recommend for the 135-gallon barrel?
DCT’s 1.0 HP Premier or 1.0 HP Standard (PRO) chiller is the recommended pairing for the 135-gallon barrel. The larger water volume means the 0.8 HP chiller will cool more slowly — it’s rated for up to 135 gallons but takes longer to reach target temperature. The 1.0 HP units cool 1–3°F every 20 minutes and are better suited for the barrel’s volume, especially in outdoor or warmer ambient conditions. Call us to confirm the right chiller for your setup: (888) 500‑5675.
How does the ozone filtration system work and how often do I maintain it?
The GFCI control box runs an automated ozone cycle for 2 hours per day. Ozone breaks down bacteria and biofilm without chemical additives, keeping the water clean between sessions. The 20-micron replaceable filter cartridge catches particulate as water circulates. DCT recommends replacing the filter cartridge every 4 weeks with regular use. This system operates independently of any chiller — the ozone generator and filtration run from the tub’s own GFCI control box.
Can I use this barrel outdoors year-round?
Pacific Cedar handles outdoor weather well — it’s naturally rot-resistant and suited to wet environments. Keep the insulated cover on when not in use. In climates with sustained temperatures below 32°F, drain the barrel before hard freezes or keep a chiller running at a non-freezing setpoint. Frozen water in the barrel can damage the stainless steel interior. For winter cold plunging in freeze climates, a chiller is the practical solution: set it to 39–40°F and it holds that temperature regardless of ambient conditions outside. Questions about your specific climate? Call (888) 500‑5675.
Does the barrel require assembly when delivered?
The barrel arrives assembled on a pallet via LTL freight. Delivery is curbside — you’ll need 2–3 people to move it from the pallet to your installation spot. At approximately 200 lbs empty, it’s manageable with help but not a one-person job. Once positioned, place the cedar step, fill with water, and connect any hose fittings if pairing a chiller (hand-tight, no tools required). Same-day setup is typical. Plan your placement before the tub arrives — a filled barrel weighs approximately 1,100 lbs and cannot be easily moved.
Is the warranty valid when purchased from Recovery Room Direct?
Yes. Recovery Room Direct is an authorized Dynamic Cold Therapy dealer. Every barrel we sell is new, sourced directly from DCT, and carries the full 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty runs from the original purchase date and is non-transferable. For warranty service, contact our team and we’ll coordinate directly with DCT on your behalf: (888) 500‑5675, Mon–Sat 9AM–6PM EST.
