Also want to install a cold plunge and a warm pool so we can do the whole cycle.

I plan on using a gas connection already in place to heat the sauna, and tie the warm pool into my tankless water heater. The cold plunge... I was thinking it would just end up being some kind of ghetto deep freeze with a half dead compressor so it gets things cold but not frozen in warm months, and put a cattle trough warmer in it during cold months.

I am also concerned about long term maintenance of the warm pool, but it doesn't seem like an insurmountable issue.

I have gas close to where I want to put the sauna as well. I did find that heater, but it seems pretty uncommon to heat these with gas and I'm not sure why.
