I am making an DIY ice bath at home. I have about 40 gallons of water in a tub and a chest freezer. Prior to cooling, the water is typically around 70 degrees F. I am thinking about getting a coil and running water lines through the chest freezer to circulate the water, but I don’t want to waste money and cut holes in the freezer if it’s not going to work. I would like to cool the water to as close to 40 degrees F as possible.
This 25’ coil would easily fit in the freezer.

I would appreciate any advice the HN community has to offer!
