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.

    Best way to start your day

    Every morning I go directly from bed to my cold plunge. 3 minutes at 54 degrees and then I’m fully awake and stoked for my day. Post workout to recover and heal any pain. I think about my plunge when I’m away on vacation and missing its positive impact on my daily experience! Love the vertical design of the tub, and the chiller has performed perfectly. I typically dub it from 5am - 8pm. Keeps the water fresh and clean all month. The plunge sits next to our sauna for a complete home spa experience. 100% recommend!

    Weekly Recovery That Makes a Difference

    I’ve been using the Viking Cold Plunge every week, and it’s honestly the best reset. It helps me recover after workouts and gives me that extra kick to start the day feeling fresh and awake. If I miss a week, I can definitely feel the difference in my body.

    Best and worst part of my day

    I’ve been using the Viking Cold plunge daily for more than a year…it’s a love/hate relationship…the first 2 minutes are brutal, but then a sense of calm overcomes me and I enjoy the next few minutes…I plunge at 5AM and that sets the stage for the rest of my day, everything else is downhill

    My Nordicwave

    Every single day I jump in my cold plunge for 5 minutes (with neoprene booties and gloves to warm the extremities a bit) at 34°. It sits up against beautiful large glass window overlooking the Pacific Ocean in my living room in Marina del Rey, California. I can’t tell you how fantastic I feel from this routine. I miss it when I’m not home and traveling so much!

    My daily therapy

    I absolutely, positively love my Viking cold plunge. I've had it for approximately two years and use it nearly every single day, often several times a day. I keep it at 51 degrees and have it outdoors. I always take a plunge first thing in the morning to wake up. I also plunge after distance runs and often in the evening as a "reset" from a day of built-up inflammation. I wholeheartedly believe nearly everyone would benefit from incorporating it into their daily wellness routine! Nordic Wave's customer servcie is also top notch. I researched a lot before purchasing and am certian I picked the right plunge!
