Why A Vertical Cold Plunge?

Full Body Immersion

Stand tall and let the cold reach every part of your body evenly. This position ensures balanced circulation and a more complete physiological response.

Stay in Control

Step in gradually from the feet up, letting your body adjust at its own pace. Vertical immersion minimizes cold shock and makes every plunge safer, smoother, and more effective.

Easier, Deeper Breathing

Upright posture supports natural diaphragm movement, making it easier to stay calm and centered. Control your breath, control the experience.

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?

No winterization is required for the Viking Gen 2. However, we highly recommend installing the insulated sleeves on both the inline hose strainer and the filter canister for added protection.

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.

    RECOVERY…SIMPLIFIED & MAXIMIZED

    Vertical tub design - entry and exit are a breeze. The “seated” position in the tub is perfect. Gen Two chiller makes it easy to adjust temperature. Water stays cold and clean. Small footprint. Our basement set-up takes up little space. No excuses for missing a morning plunge before training!!

    We love our Viking cold plunge!

    We love our Viking Cold Plunge! We’ve had it

    for 10 months now and it has become part of our daily routine, especially in the summer months. We recently added a sauna too, so now we can combine and do contrast therapy to feel relaxed and awake!

    Easy to set up and maintain with super customer support. Highly recommend!

    Dunked it!

    We’re using our new lounge twice a day. It’s helped my son with autism tremendously as an a. Eatable reset to his nervous system. Stylish. Easy set up. And money savings over going to the gym.

    Fountain of Youth!

    Love my Viking cold plunge. It honestly feels like I get younger when I use it. Better mental attitude, workout recovery, better sleep and the list goes on. I plunge almost everyday now. I had been using my swimming pool, but couldn’t maintain the right temp in the winter and of course, can’t plunge in the summer. Bought the elite chiller and it works great. So happy to not have to make ice. The temp holds within 1 degree. I had researched extensively before making a purchase and this one checked all the boxes. Upright, compact footprint, enough room inside, well built, excellent chiller with lots of filtration and it can stay outside in all temps, good customer service, etc. I always liked to end my plunge by dunking my head and I can’t do that with this one, but that’s the only thing missing for me but the XL is now available. Maybe the XL is in my future! If you like to plunge, this makes all the difference.
