A New Passion
Every company has a beginning story - and ours starts when our founder had to repair his broken hot tub in 2020, a time when buying a new hot tub was impossible due to soaring demand of at home luxury products. He discovered a new passion...
The Dog Days
We began buying broken spas, repairing them, and reselling them online - we call this the early dog days.
Repair, Repair, Repair
We repaired and sold our 50th hot tub
Spa Design
We took everything we learned from fixing old hot tubs and partnered with a major manufacturer to design our very own. During repairs, we had learned what worked, what didn't work, what broke down, what wasn't comfortable, and then learned some more.
Hot Tubs Formalized
We launched a direct to consumer hot tub brand selling our brand new spas through Amazon - it has been 4+ years of a successful business operation.
Voss, Norway
The founders visited Voss, Norway on vacation and witnessed firsthand the benefits of cold water therapy. Hence, Aquavoss.
Cold Plunge Passion
We got into cold plunging. Seriously into it. We set out to build the most reliable cold plunge on the market.
Cold Plunge Learning
We gave 50 cold plunges to our friends and family - they gave us very critical feedback on how to make them better. We took chillers apart and put them back together. We visited chiller factories. We talked with cold plungers from all over. We tested more chillers. Learning, Learning, Learning.
Perfecting Design
We designed and re-designed our cold plunges until we were happy. We began intensive quality control testing protocols incorporating this critical feedback.
Testing
We completed 3 months of rigorous testing on Model 1 and Model 2. We wanted to make durable, reliable, and tested cold plunges so that is what we did.
Cold Plunges Are Live!
We began shipping the Model 1 Cold Plunge to customers and started mass production for the Model 2.
Model 2s are Live!
We sold our first Model 2 (cold plunge and hot tub combo) to a customer in Mill Valley, CA.
New Facility in Los Angeles!
Model 2 demand drove major growth, prompting us to upgrade our facilities and expand operations to keep pace.
Celebrities?!
We delivered Aquavoss units to two of our favorite customers—MLB star Mookie Betts and actor Terry Crews.
Patented Technology
We were awarded a U.S. patent for the Aquavoss Model 2—officially protecting our groundbreaking design that has set a new standard in the cold plunge and hot tub industry.
Full Throttle
Model 2s flew off the shelves, with great customer feedback. We responded by investing in advanced manufacturing capabilities to scale faster without compromising quality.
Forbes, GQ, Business Insider...
We caught the eye of media outlets who spotlighted us for our innovative design and impact in the health and wellness space.
