Ongoing Equipment Failures and Ineffective Support Process
We purchased a Version 1 cold plunge that has been broken for months and months. Rather than addressing the known limitations of this first-generation unit, Plunge’s automated support system has required us to repeatedly go through a lengthy insurance claim process each time a component fails. After waiting days or weeks, we are sent replacement parts to install ourselves, only to discover that another piece of equipment does not work upon installation. At that point, we are told it is “not connected” and instructed to file yet another claim. We are now on our third consecutive failure, including persistent cooling issues. When operational at all, the cold plunge either functions like a loud outdoor bathtub that has been sitting full for an extended period, or it presents a safety concern due to a nonfunctioning light system. Neither is acceptable. This is not normal wear and tear. It is a prolonged pattern of failure tied to a flawed first-generation cold plunge that has remained nonfunctional for months. At this point, we should have been reimbursed or upgraded to a newer model that actually works. That resolution should have occurred long ago. Instead, a sales agent suggested that we sell our broken Version 1 cold plunge on Facebook and then purchase a new unit. I initially assumed this was a joke. It was not. To make matters worse, the company will not accept returns of broken units or replacement parts. I cannot wait to determine the cost and logistics of disposing of a nonfunctional cold plunge that should never have been left unresolved for this length of time. I just wonder: do the owners know? Or care?
