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 to 5 business days depending on the brand, and delivery to most addresses in the contiguous US takes 5 to 14 business days after shipment. See the brand section of our shipping policy for the times that apply to your product. 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. Cosmetic damage can be accepted. If a carton is punctured or crushed, or the sauna itself is damaged, refuse that item and call us on (888) 500-5675 while the driver is still there. Note the damage on the Bill of Lading before you sign, writing exactly what you see, and ask the driver to initial it. If the driver will not initial it, note the damage anyway, sign, and photograph the Bill of Lading. Contact us within 48 hours with photos. Once the damage is documented on the Bill of Lading we can file a valid freight claim and ship a replacement at no cost to you. If you refuse for a reason other than damage, or without contacting us first, return freight costs may become your responsibility. Signing a clean BOL releases the freight carrier from all liability. Claims filed after a clean signature are routinely denied. 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.
Questions before you order? Call or text (888) 500-5675, Mon–Sat 9am–6pm EST. We coordinate every delivery ourselves.
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.

Warranty
Warranty
Dynamic Cold Therapy cold plunge tubs are covered by a 1-year limited warranty from Dynamic Cold Therapy, on tubs purchased from an authorized dealer in undamaged original packaging.
What's covered. Defects in materials and workmanship: the polycarbonate insert, the wooden shell and trim, and all other components each carry 1 year. Chillers carry a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Insulated covers carry 1 year and neoprene hose covers 90 days; replacement filters are consumables with no warranty.
What's not covered. Fading or discoloration from UV exposure, damage from storage in below-freezing temperatures, corrosion or discoloration caused by lack of water maintenance, and any labor cost associated with a claim. Coverage applies to the original purchaser and is not transferable.
Keep the water balanced, and don't let it freeze. Corrosion from poor water maintenance and freeze damage are the two most common reasons a claim is declined. Ask us for the maintenance schedule — we'll send it with your order.
Keep your proof of purchase. Note that Golden Designs' 60-day registration portal covers infrared saunas only and does not apply to cold therapy products.
How to make a claim. Contact us — as your authorized dealer we handle the claim with the manufacturer for you. Email sales@recoveryroomdirect.com or call (888) 500-5675 with your order number and photos of the issue.

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, there is no fee as long as we have not yet submitted your order to the manufacturer. After we submit it but before it ships, a 5% administrative fee may apply, and we waive it whenever we are not charged.
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 accepted 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. We're here Mon–Sat, 9am–6pm EST. Applies to all Golden Designs Inc. brands: Dynamic Saunas, Maxxus Saunas, and Dynamic Cold Therapy. View our full Return Policy →

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.
Choose Tub Only if you already have a chiller or plan to use ice, or select a With Premier Chiller option above to receive the tub and a DCT Premier Edition WiFi chiller together as one complete system, sized to reach the full 37°F minimum temperature. The built-in ozone generator and filter cartridge system handle daily sanitation independently of chiller choice.
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.
Add the Premier Chiller — One Complete Cold Plunge System
Choose a With Premier Chiller configuration above and your Pacific Cedar Barrel ships as a complete system — the barrel and DCT’s Premier Edition Chiller & Heater together, connected in minutes through the barrel’s pre-installed quick-connect fittings.
37°F to 85°F, one unit. The Premier Edition both chills and heats, with temperature adjustability across that full range. Control it from the splash-proof digital touchscreen or remotely through the Tuya Smart WiFi app — set your target before you leave the house and step into ready water.
0.8 HP or 1.0 HP — sized to your routine. The 0.8 HP unit handles plunges up to 135 gallons, pulling water down 1–3°F every 30 minutes. The 1.0 HP steps up to 150 gallons at 1–3°F every 20 minutes (both depending on ambient temperature and water volume) — the better match for this barrel’s 135-gallon capacity, especially outdoors or in warmer climates.
Clean water, automatically. The Premier’s own two-stage filtration with replaceable 20-micron filters pairs with the barrel’s built-in ozone sanitation system. Every Premier unit runs on a standard 120V outlet with built-in GFCI and is rated for indoor and covered outdoor use.
Prefer to source a chiller separately or use ice? Tub Only ships chiller-ready with capped quick-connect fittings — you can add a chiller at any time.

Choosing a With Premier Chiller configuration?

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 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 costs less and is 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.
Prefer a lower entry price in the same round barrel footprint? See the Pacific Cedar Barrel (Plastic Interior) — same shape and capacity, PVC interior, same Tub Only / With Premier Chiller options.
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 costs less and is 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 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. Select the With 1.0 HP Premier Chiller option above to order the tub and chiller together as one system, or call us to confirm the right chiller for your setup: (888) 500‑5675.
Can I order the Pacific Cedar Barrel (304 Stainless Steel) with a chiller included?
Yes — select a With Premier Chiller configuration above and your order ships as a complete system: the barrel plus DCT’s Premier Edition Chiller & Heater in your choice of 0.8 HP (up to 135 gallons, 1–3°F every 30 minutes) or 1.0 HP (up to 150 gallons, 1–3°F every 20 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and water volume — the better match for this barrel’s 135-gallon capacity). The Premier runs on a standard 120V outlet with built-in GFCI, connects through the barrel’s pre-installed quick-connect fittings, and is controlled from its splash-proof touchscreen or the Tuya Smart WiFi app. Tub Only orders remain chiller-ready, so you can add a chiller later instead.
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 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.
