Your wellness guide
Okay, let’s break it down even further. We’re talking about cold plunges versus cold showers – the real deal.
First off, cold plunges hit hard. Imagine jumping into cold water – it’s like an instant wake-up call. Your body gets a jolt, and you’re wide awake. Cold showers can wake you up too, but they’re not as in-your-face as a plunge.
Now, when your muscles are screaming from a tough workout, cold plunges are the way to go. They’re like a superhero for your muscles, helping them recover faster. Athletes swear by it. Cold showers can help a bit, but they’re not the muscle hero that a plunge is.
Let’s talk about your brain. Cold plunges don’t mess around. That cold shock clears your mind and makes you feel fresh. It’s a real brain boost. Cold showers do the job too, but they don’t hit you as hard as a plunge.
Skin benefits, anyone? Both are good, but a cold plunge covers more skin, giving you more bang for your buck. It’s like a full-body refresh. Cold showers are cool for your skin too, but they’re not as comprehensive as a plunge.
Now, let’s keep it real – easy is good. Cold showers win the easy game. You can have one every day without any fancy stuff. Cold plunges might need special things, and they’re not an everyday thing for most people. So, if you’re looking for something quick and easy, a cold shower is your go-to.
In the end, it’s simple – cold plunges do more for your muscles, brain, and skin. But if you’re after something easy and quick, stick to a cold shower. No fancy words, just the facts – getting chilly can make you feel super refreshed and ready for anything!
Let’s dive into the cold world of showers and plunges.
When it comes to waking up, cold plunges hit you like a bucket of ice. It’s a shock to the system, making you wide awake in an instant. On the other hand, cold showers offer a gentler wake-up. It might not hit you as hard, but the cool water still does the job, helping you shake off the morning fog.
Muscle recovery – that’s a big one. Cold plunges are like a muscle superhero. Athletes swear by them for quick recovery after a tough workout. Now, cold showers might not be as powerful, but they still do a decent job. If you’re not ready for the plunge intensity, a cold shower can be a good alternative to soothe those muscles.
Brain boost time. Cold plunges clear your mind with that sharp cold shock. It’s like an instant mental reset. Cold showers give your brain a little nudge too. While they might not pack the same punch, they still help you start your day feeling alert and ready to roll.
Let’s talk about your skin. Cold plunges cover you head to toe, giving your skin a full-on chill session. It’s like a refreshing skin workout. Cold showers are good for your skin too, although they might not cover as much ground. But hey, a quick daily chill in the shower still gives your skin some love.
Easy does it, right? Cold showers take the crown for convenience. No need for special setups or extra time. You can have a cold shower every day without breaking a sweat. Cold plunges, well, they might need a bit more planning. If you’re after something simple and doable, a cold shower is a winner.
In the grand cold showdown, cold plunges might have the upper hand in muscle recovery and that instant wake-up call. If your looking for a portable ice bath tub NordicWay has a great, reliable solution! If your not ready to get cold plunging cold showers can also step up to the plate. They’re a solid replacement if you’re not ready for the plunge life. Whether you go for the intense shock or the gentle chill, embracing the cold can set the tone for a fresh and invigorating day.

The best decision is one that will enhance your overall experience of the Model 2, no matter where you decide to place it.
Maintaining pristine water quality is essential for the safety, comfort, and longevity of your cold plunge experience. Just as you invested in the design and construction of your cold plunge, it’s equally important that you invest in its chemical maintenance.
This article outlines how to resolve an airlock issue in your hot tub. It details two ways to identify an airlock and provides a step-by-step guide to fixing the problem.
Most of the cold plunge system is installed prior to delivery (the piping, the circulation pump, the ozone, the drains, the filter, etc.) and ready to go upon delivery. The chiller, however, was disconnected from the system before it was shipped out to you. Here is the reasoning … the chiller has refrigerant inside of it. The chiller cannot be pre-installed as the refrigerant would spill and in turn cause long-term damage to the unit. Therefore, we securely packaged the chiller inside of the cold plunge tank so that the refrigerant does not spill during the shipping process. In this blog, we are going to walk you through how to connect the chiller back into the system so that your cold plunge side is operational (this does not require any particular expertise). Please refer to the video below as well as the following instructions for guidance on how to install the Aquavoss Model 2 chiller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BaMeJs13Nk&t=128s 1. Remove the chiller from the cold plunge tank The chiller was strapped securely inside of the cold plunge tank. As you were unboxing the product, you should have seen signage and warning labels indicating where the chiller is and that it must be removed prior to laying the Model 2 horizontally. Remove the chiller from the cold plunge tank – make sure that the chiller is always upside right as you want to ensure that refrigerant never spills. 2. Remove the access cabinet The technology for both the cold plunge and the hot tub are inside the “access cabinet”. The access cabinet can be identified in three ways: a. The access cabinet is on the same side as the thicker part of the acrylic shell. b. The access cabinet has the larger vent on it as well. c. There is a black handle in the middle of the side panel (not featured in image). Remove the two black corner pieces by gently pulling them away from the unit. Once you remove the black corner pieces, there will be four screws exposed on each corner of the cabinet as shown in the image below. Remove the screws using the Allen wrench that was provided to you in the welcome package. After you have removed the screws, then pull using the black handle at the base of the panel (not shown in image). The panel is also magnetic so give it a good tug to remove it. IMPORTANT: The panel was designed to be very easy to access. Once you remove the screws for the first time, you do not need to re-insert them when you close the panel. The panel and corner pieces are magnetic – screws are not needed to keep them in position (therefore making it very easy to access). Keep the screws in case you ever want them for the future. 3. Unbox the chiller (keep it right side up to avoid spilling the refrigerant!) 4. Place the chiller onto the stainless steel frame inside of the access cabinet 5. Use the Allen wrench and the provided hexagonal headless screws to secure the chiller to the Model 2 frame The hinge is already on the stainless steel frame. There are four hinges (one on each corner of the chiller). Secure the chiller to all four hinges using the Allen wrench and provided screws. 6. Connect the chiller to the cold plunge control panel The cold plunge control panel is already pre-installed to the side panel. The control panel has three cords hanging from it – there are also three cords grouped together that are connected to the chiller. These three connections need to be made as shown in the picture below. Ensure that these are all plugged in securely as anything that is loose could lead to a problem with the proper functionality of the chiller and the control panel. 7. Connect the chiller to the circulation pump Behind the chiller, there is a small black cylindrical circulation pump as shown in the image below. You will notice a free-hanging cord next to the circulation pump with a female connector. Plug this female connector into the corresponding male cord that is connected to the chiller. This connection powers the circulation pump, the device that will circulate water in and out of the cold plunge tank. 8. Connect the chiller to the Ozone cleaning system The Ozone can be found on the underside of the Acrylic shell. You will find there a box labeled “Ozone” with a female electrical cord hanging from it. Plug that electrical connection to the corresponding cord on the chiller. 9. Install the cold plunge filter Included in your welcome package are two filters: one for the hot tub side and one for the cold plunge side. The smaller filter is for the cold plunge. You will find the filter house behind the chiller (next to the circulation pump). Remove the filter house cap by twisting counter clockwise. Use the filter wrench (if needed) to assist in removing the filter house cap. Center the filter onto the filter house base. Place the filter house cap on top of the filter house base twist clockwise to reattach the entire filter house. 10. Feed the 110v male electrical plug from the chiller and out the side panel Locate the cold plunge electrical access point and remove the cap from the hole. Run the male electrical cord (connected to the chiller) out through the hole. Place the cap back on top to cover the remainder of the hole. Note: Depending on the orientation of your house, it may make sense instead to run the extension cord into the cabinet. This is recommended for outdoor set-ups to prevent any rain damage to the electrical cords. Important: Do not plug in the electrical cord until the cold plunge tank has been filled with water. 11. Fill the cold plunge with water You’re almost there! Take your closest garden hose and start filling the cold plunge tank with water. It’s recommended to fill the
The hot tub runs on a 220v electrical connection and you will need a licensed electrician to properly install the Aquavoss Model 2.
