FAQs

How do I drain the Viking?

The Viking features a sloped floor design for effortless draining. A drain valve is located at the bottom port, allowing you to connect a garden hose for easy water removal. When it is time to drain the unit, follow these steps:

  1. Unplug the chiller
  2. Close both grey isolation valves
  3. Connect a garden hose to the bottom drain valve
  4. Open the drain valve to release the water from the system

Please note that after refilling the Viking, you will need to reopen both grey isolation valves and plug the chiller back in to resume operation.

How cold can I set the temperature?

The coldest temperature setting is 35° Fahrenheit with both the Standard and Elite Chillers.

Will the Viking fit through doorways or on a balcony?

Yes, the Viking tubs can fit through standard doors, but it’s important to measure first: the Classic Viking is 30 inches wide and will comfortably fit through most residential doors, which are typically 32 inches wide, while the XL Viking is 33 inches wide and may require a 34-inch or wider opening—more common in commercial settings where doors are usually 36 inches wide. Always verify your specific doorway width before ordering.

Can I plug the chiller into a standard wall outlet?

Yes, the chiller can be plugged into a standard wall outlet (120V).

Is there a seat inside The Viking?

The inside of The Viking has no steps or seat. The buoyancy of the water allows you to sit in a comfortable squatted position without putting any pressure on your joints. Your body will naturally find this position.

Can I easily monitor the chiller’s filtration system?

Yes, the chiller’s clear filter housing allows you to effortlessly monitor the filtration system. Just a quick glance lets you see when maintenance might be needed, making upkeep easy.

How quiet is the Nordic Wave Chiller Generation 2?

Designed with tranquility in mind, this chiller operates with an ultra-quiet motor, ensuring minimal disruption so you can enjoy a peaceful plunge.

Do I need to winterize the chiller or can I leave it outside year-round?

The Viking Cold Plunge is insulated and designed for indoor or outdoor use within recommended temperature ranges. If ambient temperatures reach or fall below 14°F, the system must be properly drained and stored in a temperature-controlled environment to prevent freeze damage. For best results, using an HVAC or vacuum system to remove residual water is strongly recommended to ensure complete drainage. Freeze damage resulting from failure to follow these requirements is not covered under warranty.

Make sure both hot and cold mode are enabled in the Nordic Flow App under My Chiller > Settings > Cold & Hot > ON.

What are the bottom and internal dimensions of the Viking?

The floor of the Viking has a length of 24" and width of 19". The internal dimensions of the Viking are 32"x26"x37" (WDH).

Do I have to pay for shipping and returns?

Nordic Wave covers the cost of shipping the Viking to you, but we do not cover shipping fees in the case of a return. Returning the Viking also has a 15% restocking fee. For more information, please see our Shipping policy and Returns/Refunds policy.

How often do I need to change the filter?

We recommend replacing the filter once per month. Water quality may vary based on location.

    Phenomenal product, easy to use and maintain. Efficient through the first year. I love that it turns on automatically in freezing temps to avoid damaging the chiller (in case you're out of town, etc). The product looks great, not an I sore and offers a much smaller footprint than several of the other plunges I researches. I highly recommend.

    Life Changing!

    I was vaguely aware of cold plunging, but viewed it as something only NFL players did. Once I looked into it after reading an article, I discovered how it could benefit me as I am transforming my life with a better diet, regular exercise, and focusing on living clean. At 65 years old, I needed to drop 20 pounds and get my lazy butt moving. Many of my relatives and close friends are experiencing issues related to ultra-processed foods, lack of physical activity, and working towards a healthier lifestyle. I purchased a Nordic Wave Premier plunge and, with daily plunges, immediately noticed improvements in mental clarity, energy, and overall vitality. If you have never cold plunged before, I highly recommend that you start at 60 degrees and try to hit 1 minute. As a guy, your first plunge WILL result in you screaming like a little schoolgirl from the shock. After you hit your third plunge, you will learn to focus on the slow breathing and it isn't bad at all. Great investment.

    Nordic Wave is the best cold plunge available on the market - A Doctor’s Perspective :) !!

    Nordic Wave Cold Plunge Systems

    I have to say—these Nordic Wave cold plunge units have been an outstanding addition to our practice.

    We’ve had patients who have tried multiple cold plunge systems at other locations, and the feedback has been very consistent—they genuinely prefer these. One of the biggest things they notice right away is the upright design. It makes full-body immersion feel much more natural and comfortable, which really enhances the overall experience.

    From my perspective as the operator, the ease of use has been a huge win. The temperature control is incredibly simple and very reliable. Once it’s set, it stays exactly where you want it—whether we’re running the cold plunge at 45°F or the heat at 107°F. It holds that temperature steadily for days without needing constant attention, which makes it very easy to manage in a busy clinical setting.

    The water quality has also been excellent. The system keeps the water looking clean and sparkling with minimal effort. So far, maintenance has been very straightforward—mainly just using the fine net provided to remove any small debris from the surface. As usage increases, we’ll likely add a few more water treatments to keep everything perfectly balanced, but overall it’s been very low maintenance.

    We’ve also added a digital push-button timer so patients can easily track how long they’ve been in and work toward their target duration, which has been a great enhancement to the experience.

    I personally assembled both…

    Changed My Life!

    Absolutely Love starting every day with a workout and then Nordic Wave plunge! The first minute is attention-grabbing, and then the next four minutes are Zen-like! All previous inflammation in knees and ankles has vanished. I have more energy during the day and simply feel younger and more agile! Thank you, Jenkins Clan, for a magnificent product and exceptional service to back it all up!

    My own experience

    I’ve struggled with apathy and mild depression for most of my adult life. After doing some research, I decided to start cold plunging. I have to admit that climbing into an icy tub at 7 am every morning sucks.

    After 2 straight weeks, I’ve noticed my mood increases, my joints feel better and I sleep more soundly.

    I’d recommend it to anyone after checking with their doctor. I love it and make it a daily habit it. It’s worth more than any medication. 💪
