1. In combination with an enclosure having a faucet fluidly coupleable to an outside water source, a heat exchange assembly, having a hot water supply conduit configured to fluidly couple the outside water source, the heat exchange assembly, and the faucet together, and a cold water supply conduit configured to fluidly couple the outside water source and the faucet together, the improvement comprising:
a cold plunge water generation assembly with a base, with a housing coupled to the base to form an enclosure, with a liquid intake connector fluidly coupled to the outside water source, with a cold water storage tank disposed within the enclosure and configured to house a liquid therein, with a cold water pump fluidly coupled to the cold water storage tank through a cold water assembly conduit, with an electric water cooling system operably configured to chill incoming liquid from the outside water source to a temperature within a range of 33-45° F., a cold water valve fluidly and directly coupled to the cold water supply conduit downstream of the cold water pump and communicatively coupled to the electric controller, and with an electric controller communicatively coupled to the cold water valve, the cold water pump, the electric water cooling system, and an electric display, wherein the electric controller is operably configured to selectively initiate the water cooling system to chill incoming liquid for storage in the cold water storage tank and cause the cold water pump to induce a flow of the liquid housed within the cold water storage tank and at the temperature range of 33-45° F. to the cold water supply conduit and to the cold water valve configured to be placed in an open position by the electronic controller permitting the flow of the liquid housed within the cold water storage tank to and out through the faucet.
