The Sauna Industry's Record of Note
The oval cold plunge Harvia launched in 2023 for hot-cold alternation at home
Oval-shaped residential cold tub. Harvia's entry into the cold-plunge category, launched in 2023 and positioned as the companion product to a Harvia sauna.
Harvia Frosty is the oval-shaped residential cold tub Harvia launched in 2023, positioned as the cold-plunge companion to a Harvia sauna. Per Harvia's 2023 Annual Report, the tub uses materials selected to be safe, comfortable on the skin, and easy to maintain, and every unit ships with an insulated cover that both maintains target temperature and improves safety by keeping children out of the water. Harvia's framing in the 2023 report ties the launch to growing consumer interest in hot-cold alternation and cold-exposure therapy.

Practical guidance from specialty dealers, commercial installers, and long-term Harvia operators. Use these notes alongside the official manual.
Harvia acquired still-water hot tub maker Kirami in 2021. Kirami's water-tub construction, water chemistry, and insulation experience sits inside Harvia Group and is the adjacent capability base for products like Frosty. The public record does not detail how directly Kirami engineering fed into Frosty specifically.
Harvia positions Frosty as a companion product for hot-cold alternation alongside a Harvia sauna, not as a standalone cold-plunge product. Dealers typically quote Frosty with the broader sauna install.
Residential cold tubs are treated differently across US and Canadian jurisdictions. Some local codes classify outdoor water features by volume or depth and require permits comparable to pool or spa installations. Confirm local requirements before ordering.
Residential hot-cold therapy, recovery-focused home wellness setups, anyone already running a Harvia sauna and looking for the matching cold plunge, consumers entering cold exposure therapy who want a brand-name product with support rather than a DIY stock tank.
