Have questions?

Talk to an expert at 843-779-6821

Can I plug the chiller into a standard wall outlet?

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

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.

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.

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.

    Extremely Well Made, but with a warning

    My new Viking Hybrid is IMPRESSIVE. I purchased it after researching options and knew it was well made but it impresses more in person. Setting it up was a breeze; the print and online guidance was almost overkill it was so simple. It took about fifteen minutes to connect everything and another fifteen to fill. I turned the chiller on and it was ready for plunge in less than an hour. HOWEVER, I'm not pleased with its size. The online specs indicate a footprint much smaller than the actual installed footprint. The online specs don't include how much room the valves and hoses require and the distance away the chiller ends up because of the hose length (I realize that also provides some flexibility in positioning and accessing the chiller but that isn't revealed in the online specs). I suspect others are also interested in the Viking Hybrid because of its small footprint and recommend Nordic Wave adjust its online specs to reflect the actual installed footprint dimensions.

    Great product and even better customer service!

    I'm 6'2" and my wife is 5'5" and we selected the Hybrid for its easy access w/o requiring steps. The build quality is excellent and the chiller is very quiet. The setup was a breeze and took about 20 minutes. Sophie was incredibly helpful during the shopping phase. I was concerned about the size of the plunge and my height. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and eased my concerns about the Hybrid. We absolutely love it and it is the perfect size. Finally, Sophie continued to follow up after delivery as the plunge cover was on back order. If you're on the fence, don't be, this is a solid product with an excellent company behind it!

    Nordicwave Viking

    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…
