Penguin Cold Therapy Chiller with Filter Kit | 730150
Whether you are new to cold therapy or a seasoned pro, you are likely doing it for the benefits that exposure to cold offers rather than the physical workout you’ll get from lugging all the ice needed to keep up with it. Lets face it – keeping up with the amount of ice needed to keep a ice bath cold can get to be quite the burden. Our chiller will keep your ice bath cold effortlessly, this should lead to more consistent and frequent usage. Make the most out of your ice bath by turning it into an iceless bath!
The chiller can reach into the low 40F’s, even down into high 30F’s with the right conditions. Ambient temps and sun exposure account for the majority of the heat load on a cold therapy tub (your body heat is insignificant compared to the sun). Reducing the external heat load will improve chiller performance. Low to mid 40F’s should be possible on a most +/-100 gallons setup even in full sun / less than ideal conditions. Our cold therapy chillers can be used indoors and outdoors, except in freezing conditions
Cost to Run (lower than most expect):
At $0.12/KWh the monthly cost of operation should be around $18-$28/month. The compressor and fan only turn on when cooling is needed, once the water reaches your set point they turn off and only the low wattage pump continues to run.
A common question we get revolves around setting the chiller up on a timer. Ideally you’ll want to keep the water cold at all times. There’s a few reasons for this –
Cold water keeps bacteria (slimy walls) largely under control by slowing or stopping their growth. This significantly reduces the amount of maintenance needed to keep your water clean for longer periods of time. This means less frequent water changes and that much lower levels of sanitizer being an effective doses (chlorine/hydrogen peroxide/etc).
If you are using it on a regular basis the amount of potential power savings will be fairly insignificant, the heat it would gain in the “off” period still needs to be removed when you turn it back on. So if running is normally cost $18-$28/month you might be able to save $3-$5/month. However have to change water and the filter more often so it is unlikely to be a net cost savings.
When you cut power to the chiller you also cut power to the pump. Pumps get the most wear and tear during startup, that’s when a pump is most likely to fail as well. Cycling the power to the chiller is just adding unnecessary wear and tear to the pump.
*Please note your setup needs to gravity prime to the pump, the pump is not capable of self priming/suction. Place the chiller within 3' of the drain of your tub, the bottom of the chiller should be at the same or lower height compared to the bottom of your tub – do not elevate the chiller above the tub. An overly long tubing run from the tub drain to the chiller inlet may cause the pump to fail to move enough water.

Yes, I am delighted with my Nordica sauna and find it comfortable and efficient. I only wish I could increase the temperature so I could bring up a sweat.
Golden Designs Maxxus 4-Person FAR Infrared Sauna - Low EMF | MX-K406-01
Received the pallet and all looked okay, except 2 boards were extremely bowed which shortened the length just enough so they do not fit into each side of the grooves. The barrel remains unfinished because I cant place them into a V because it's absurd the amount of warping wont let them meet and sit into the grooves. Smells great.
Bought this on a whim, best spontaneous decision ever made. My boyfriend and I love ending our day with a workout and sauna session. Our sleeping has improved and our overall mood has improved.
We have had our FD2 for a few weeks now and love it. The health benefits alone are worth the investment.
Great service from Nordica Sauna from answering many questions by providing detailed articles and information.
Happy customers!
I am very satisfied
Good customer service and pricing. When my rep didn't know the answer he followed up with someone who did.
No support - cant get in touch with someone that even knows the size of pipe I bought so I can get an extension peice.
I sure like this heater. My fifth sauna heater in 44 years . Well designed . The other brands I have had were not designed as good as this one .
It was really high quality and good looking product. If there anything need to be improved is the installation guide may need a bit more specific.
I really like the Harvia sauna I purchased from Nortica .
I am only using the infrared because my traditional heater unit has still not arrived. However, I will tell you that the sauna was certainly worth the wait. It heats up very quickly within 30 minutes. It’s at 160 to 170 Fahrenheit. The shipping has taking a little long, but other than that this is as good as it gets.
I bought Auroom outdoor Sauna, it was really good. Good looking plus energy efficient. My family enjoyed it a lot.
Well packaged, great product so far!
Love the sauna…boy oh boy does this thing heat up. The panel in the floor can almost get too warm for comfort when touching it barefoot. Delivery was quick and set up is super simple. You do need two people not for the weight but just the awkward large size and to hold the initial panels in place while you snap the clasps together. Control panel can be access inside or outside which is a feature I love. You can connect your sound via bluetooth. Only drawback is that you cant turn on remotely to warm up.
I'm very happy with the Huum Hive Heat! It looks great, works well, and was easy to install. My only complaints are that I came up at least a box of rocks short from filling the cage, and it's tough to add logs to an existing fire without embers falling out. I used three 12"x24" tiles and bullnose under mine, but embers still ended up bouncing onto the wood floor until I created an embers screen by drilling 5/16" holes in a 1/4" 8-3/4"x4" aluminum plate that I place between the front door and sides. Nordica and Huum came through by sending an extra box of sauna rocks so I've bumped my review to 5 stars. It's an awesome, fast heating, and beautiful stove in my homemade barrel sauna!
It was by and large a great experience. (except for a couple of relatively minor issues:1) bracket that came for the heater was incorrect and meant for a smaller heating unit; fortunately we adjusted the bracket that came with the heating unit and managed to get it to fit snugly. 2) there was a crack on the water container but Nordica sauna was so gracious in getting a new one out. Thank you!
I was amazed at how the shipment was so carefully packaged. However, I would urge the manufacturers to get better on the instructions. Some parts were difficult to follow.
Overall I recommend this sauna to anyone thinking g of getting one. I especially recommend Nordica sauna. They were amazingly responsive every step of the way. 🙏👍🏼👌
Easy installation, Quality workmanship, Good equipment...

If Huum offered more stones and an embers screen I'd definitely bump my review to 5 stars.
Can not review yet. Received the hot tub but will not bed set until spring. At that time I will be happy to respond
More so a 2 person sauna and this doesn’t have Bluetooth. I can’t hear calls inside and the music isn’t the clearest. I have to use a Aux cord to connect music. However, loving the sauna. It gets very hot and I enjoy sitting in it. It won’t let you extend 60 mins but you can keep raising it. I am 5’8 and can stand up (barely) in the sauna. Not the largest sauna to stand up in if you’re taller than that. Otherwise, very happy with my new sauna that I have on my terrace.
