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).

How often do I need to change the filter?

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

    Viking Cold Plunge: Quality Build, Strong Performance, A Few Quirks

    I’ve been really happy overall with the Viking plunge. I’m using it indoors, positioned right outside our sauna, and it fits that setup extremely well. The build quality is excellent—it feels solid, well-made, and has a clean, premium look that works nicely in a finished indoor space. Performance-wise, it does exactly what you want. It gets cold reliably, maintains temperature well, and the initial setup was relatively straightforward compared to other systems I considered.

    There are a few things worth calling out for anyone considering one. My unit arrived with a few minor blemishes on the top. Nothing that affected performance, and not a dealbreaker for me, but worth noting given the price point.

    Also, be aware of the chiller setup. The chiller will not fit under the standard step stool—you’ll need to purchase the larger version. Even then, it’s not a simple drop-in fit. Getting the stool positioned around the chiller takes some effort and planning, so don’t expect it to just slide into place.

    One operational quirk to keep in mind: after a power outage, the chiller does not automatically restart. If you’re away for a few days and lose power, the system will stay off, which can impact water quality and shorten the time between cleanings. It would be great if Viking added the ability to schedule the unit to turn back on automatically, not just off.

    That said, customer service has been solid and responsive, and overall I’m very satisfied with the purchase. It’s a high…

    Absolutely Love it

    Had it for about 4 months now and I use it almost daily and often multiple times a day. Quality is great, tub is very sturdy, I love the standing/squatting position. A Huge plus for me was that I can control from anywhere via the app and also turn it into a personal hot tub.

    - my only other word is, it may be difficult for older people to get in and out of you do have to lift yourself out

    LOVE IT, it’s like pressing the reset button in your head everytime you dunk

    The ultimate reset

    I’ve been using my Nordic Cold Plunge 5 to 6 days a week for over a year now. I recommend it to anyone who seeks to improve their discipline and overall health.

    After 5 minutes at 38 degrees, I feel refreshed and ready to take on the day. I love it.

    Review and enhancement

    Local weldor (me!) built this stainless steel support bar above the tub. Very helpful. Plus, I use a three-foot stick to press myself down whilst doing breathing exercises.

    Best decision I made!!!

    I love my Nordic wave. It fits perfectly in my Zenden. It operates amazing. It’s quiet as can be and the level of customer service has been spectacular. I upgraded from the old louder chiller to the new quieter one and it was super easy.
