The Chieftain has our most premium, rapid cooling unit. Once the water has been cooled, the Chieftain will hold a cool water temperature for days (especially with the stainless steel basin cover on) and takes only ~30 minutes to cool back down. If the water starts at a higher temperature, it takes longer. On average, the Chieftain takes ~1.5 hrs to cool the water from room temperature (70°F) to 40°F. So you can expect the first time to take a bit longer, then see very rapid cool times after that.

The heating time is also the shortest with the Chieftain PRO (our most powerful heating unit yet). It takes ~1 hour to heat the water from 70ºF to 104ºF, and ~2hrs to heat from 40ºF to 104ºF (full cycle).

The best way to keep your water clean:
1) Use our sanitizing mineral salt blend
2) Keep the chiller on often (4-8hrs/day). The more the filter is on, the more the water cycles though the built-in filter and UV sanitizer.
2) Empty and replace your tub with fresh water every 3-4 weeks.

We include a complimentary 3-month supply of natural sanitizing salt for your tub. Add 1 full bag of salt initially, then add 4-6oz every week to keep the salt content high enough to maintain its disinfectant properties.

If you make a habit or rinsing off before your ice bath, the water will stay clean and clear longer. If you like to go in straight after the gym, then it's better to replace the tub with new fresh water every 2-3 weeks, or whenever the water starts to become cloudy

The Chieftain Tub (both Essential and PRO version) can be plugged into a standard 110V outlet. The moment it is shipped to your home, it is ready to be filled up and plugged in. No additional wiring or setting up necessary.

The Chieftain Tubs are all custom made to order. We start designing your tub immediately after it's ordered, and after we finish, we pass it to our master craftsmen for careful inspection.
Your tub is ready to ship within 3-4 weeks (Domestic only - Lower 48 U.S. States). Alaska, Hawaii, and international orders vary - please speak to an agent via our live chat, or contact us at support@nordicacoldtubs.com for more information.

A 1-Year warranty is included with every Chieftain cold + hot tub. The warranty covers all material and workmanship defects to the tub or any components within the specified period (1 year). Read the full warranty policy here.

1) Connect the included drain hose to the drain valve in the bottom corner of the tub. Connect any standard garden hose to the drain hose to extend its length, if necessary, and run it outside to drain.
2) Connect a standard garden hose to the Chieftain-exclusive electric drain pump and run the hose outside for quicker and more thorough draining (the electric pump also removes the leftover 1-2 inches of water that are left behind when using a garden hose with gravity.

The length of time for each session will vary depending on the temperature and comfort level of the individual.

But in order to get all the benefits of cold water immersion in your routine, we recommend to get in the ice bath for 3-8 minutes at 58ºF or colder.

Try: Starting at 60ºF for 4 minutes, then reducing the temperature by 2-3ºF each time. 50-55ºF for 3-4 minutes is perfect to feel great during and after a Chieftain cold session.

Nordica is headquartered in Texas, USA, and we design and ship all our products from good old Texas. Yee-haw!
