Who should buy which
Buyers who want a chillered cold plunge as one purchase: a 110V plug-and-play tub with 1 year coverage on both tub and chiller.
You want sub-37°F temperatures, a 2-person tub, or premium cedar/metal aesthetics - see Renu Therapy or Morozko Forge.
A home buyer who would rather lie back than sit upright in a plunge, fits Renu's 6'7" and 275 lb limit, and has a level floor near a drain that can carry about 1,065 lbs, a dedicated 120V, 15A outlet within 12 feet, and 2 to 4 people to move a 297 lb tank off a pallet.
You want someone to place the tank for a known fee, since delivery is curbside and Renu publishes no price for anything more; you want a real wood breath deck, because every combination on this listing is composite; or you need an ETL, UL or CSA listing in writing, which Renu does not publish for the Aurelius.
