What are the benefits of using an Ice Bath?
Reduced Muscle Soreness and Inflammation: Cold plunges can help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation. The cold temperature constricts blood vessels and decreases metabolic activity, which reduces swelling and tissue breakdown. Once out of the cold water, blood flow increases again, helping to flush out metabolic waste products from the affected tissues for a better muscle recovery.
Improved Circulation: Alternating between cold plunges and warm environments can improve circulation. Cold water causes blood vessels to constrict, and when you warm up afterward, they dilate. This process, known as vasoconstriction and vasodilation, improves blood flow, which can enhance overall cardiovascular health.
Boosted Immune System: Regular cold plunges may boost the immune system. Exposure to cold water can increase the production of white blood cells and antioxidants. This response is thought to be the body's reaction to repeated exposure to a stressor, which can help strengthen the immune system over time.
Enhanced Mood and Reduced Stress: Cold plunges can enhance mood and reduce stress by triggering the release of endorphins and other mood-lifting chemicals. The shock of cold water stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and increases the levels of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, which can improve mood and alertness. Additionally, overcoming the initial discomfort of cold exposure can provide a sense of accomplishment and resilience, contributing to overall well-being.
Can I leave the Prestige Cold Plunge outside year-round?
The Nordik Prestige is built to withstand the harshest Canadian winters.
However, the chiller should be removed and put in storage if the bath is to be left in temperatures below -10°C.
We recommend buying our optional water heater accessory to prevent your water from freezing in winter, all while preventing your chiller from getting damaged.

How often should I change the water?
Every 6-8 weeks for typical home use. For commercial settings, water changes may need to happen more often depending on usage. Follow the detailed guide included with the tub for best practices.
How often should I replace the filters in the unit?
The filters should be replaced every 1-2 weeks depending on your usage. Commercial environment with higher traffic will need to change their filters more often. Regularly changing the filter helps maintain water quality by removing impurities and ensuring the system functions optimally.
How do I clean and maintain the tub?
Maintenance is easy. Clean the interior regularly with a soft cloth and natural cleaners, and rely on the ozone filtration system to reduce chemical use. Note that commercial settings may require more chemicals to maintain the purity of the water.

How can I encourage customers to rinse before using the bath?
Providing rinse-off stations near the bath, using clear signage, and offering friendly reminders from staff can significantly reduce water contamination and extend your chiller life.
What safety protocols should be in place for commercial ice baths?
Ensure that users are aware of time limits and water temperature settings. Having monitoring devices and trained staff available can help assist users who may experience discomfort during their sessions.
