Ice Baths & Cold Plunges by Swedish Cold

A refrigerated ice bath keeps the water cold without ice cubes. A chiller continuously removes heat from the water via a heat exchanger, while a pump circulates it through filters, ozone or UV. This keeps the set temperature constant day and night, and the insulated lid retains the cold in the tub. With Swedish Cold, depending on the model, the technology is housed within the unit or located next to it as an external chiller. The Generation 5 holds 568 L and maintains 0 to 8 °C, with optional ice formation. The Generation 4S (175 × 69 × 85 cm) cools and heats between 3 and 40 °C. The acrylic Cold Plunge (170 × 80 × 60 cm, 400 to 500 L) cools down to 2 °C and runs on a 220-V outlet. The Nordic Tub is a standing ice bath made of red cedar. The tubs fit into your home just as well as into a studio, spa, or hotel.

• Volume and users per day: For many users per day, the Generation 5 is built with 568 L, as a commercial version with five-stage filtration, a reinforced pump, and more powerful UV.
• Connection: Generation 5 with 220 to 230 V and 12 A, Generation 4S with 220 V, the Cold Plunge as a plug & play unit on a 220-V outlet. We will provide the connection values for the Nordic Tub in the quote.

Frequently asked questions

How does a refrigerated ice bath work?

Like a refrigerator for water: A refrigerant circuit in the chiller absorbs heat from the water via the heat exchanger and releases it into the ambient air. The pump keeps the water moving and guides it through the filters. You set the desired temperature on the display or in the app, and the chiller maintains it.

Do I still need ice?

No. The chiller cools the water itself. With the Generation 5, you can additionally activate automatic ice formation.

How much electricity does a refrigerated ice bath use?

According to the manufacturer, the Generation 5 and Generation 4S use approx. 0.75 kWh per hour and 3 to 10 kWh per day. The Cold Plunge consumes 476 W, measured at a room temperature of 15 °C and a water temperature of 2 °C. How much it will use at your location depends primarily on the room temperature, the lid, and usage.

Can I place the ice bath outside?

According to the manufacturer, the Generation 4S is designed for year-round outdoor use, with the circulation running at outdoor temperatures down to −10 °C. The Nordic Tub is intended for the garden and patio. For any other model, we will clarify the installation location with you in advance.

How is it delivered and set up?

The ice baths are delivered by freight carrier. We handle delivery and setup in DE/AT/CH, check the installation area, floor load, and transport route with you beforehand, and you will have a contact person from the quote to the training. If you are planning a cold area in the studio, 3D planning is included free of charge.
