The Plunge Supplier GD-SS02 Stainless Steel Cold Plunge Barrel with Chiller: an upright barrel in two sizes
The Plunge Supplier GD-SS02 Stainless Steel Cold Plunge Barrel with Chiller is a one person kit for indoor or sheltered outdoor soaks. Climb in and sit upright with water around your shoulders. No steps or ladder are included. Choose 32 inches across by 33.5 inches tall, or 40 inches across by 35.5 inches tall for more elbow room. Both hold 105 gallons. 304 is the standard stainless grade; 316 costs more and stands up better to salt air and pool chemicals. It runs on a standard 120 volt household outlet, so no electrician is needed.
The chiller is a separate box that sits beside the tub and connects with the hoses in the kit. The included 1 horsepower chiller heats and cools from 38 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit. A paper filter catches debris, and ozone treatment cuts the chemicals needed. You get two filter cartridges, a filter wrench, and thermal covers to hold the temperature between soaks. Underwater lighting changes color. Set the temperature at the panel or through the Tuya or Smart Life phone app. Pick your size and steel grade on this page, with an optional Promax chiller upgrade. Prefer lying down? See the Plunge Supplier GD-SS01 Stainless Steel Cold Plunge Tub with Chiller. The Plunge Supplier GD-SS02 Stainless Steel Cold Plunge Barrel with Chiller ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

Stainless Steel Guide
304 vs. 316 Stainless Steel — What’s the Difference?
Both 304 and 316 are high-quality stainless steels known for durability, corrosion resistance, and strength. The main difference comes down to one added element:
316 Stainless Steel
316 has 2–3% molybdenum, which dramatically boosts corrosion resistance — especially against:
- Saltwater
- Chlorides
- Harsh outdoor environments
- Chemicals
- 316 is more expensive (usually 15–30% more) because of its enhanced composition
304 Stainless Steel
304 Stainless Steel does not contain molybdenum
- Great for indoor and general outdoor use
- Can show pitting or corrosion over time near the ocean or when exposed to salts/chlorine
- 304 is more budget-friendly while still offering excellent durability
Common Uses
316 Stainless Steel
-
Marine equipment
-
Cold plunge tubs exposed to chlorine or salt
-
Coastal installations
-
Medical and surgical equipment
-
Chemical environments
304 Stainless Steel
-
Appliances
-
Indoor tubs and tanks
-
Furniture
-
Mild outdoor environments
-
Food-grade equipment
FAQ about Molybdenum
- Molybdenum is a naturally occurring trace mineral found in soil, plants, and even the human body.
- It’s essential for human health in small amounts because it helps enzymes function properly.
- In stainless steel, the molybdenum is tightly bound within the metal alloy and does not leach out in any meaningful way.
So when used in 316 stainless steel, molybdenum is:
-
Not toxic
-
Not harmful to humans
-
Not a health concern, even with daily contact (e.g., water bottles, cookware, cold plunge tubs, medical tools)

FAQ
How do you sit in a barrel-style cold plunge?
Upright, with the water around your shoulders. The Features tab describes the barrel shape as encouraging proper posture and giving generous room for full-body immersion, which is the main reason people choose a barrel over a lay-down tub. It also takes up far less floor space, since the footprint is just the diameter of the barrel.
What is the difference between the 32-inch and 40-inch barrels?
The Size selector switches between a 32-inch diameter barrel about 33.5 inches tall and a 40-inch diameter barrel about 35.5 inches tall, both rated at roughly 105 gallons. The wider one gives broad-shouldered users more elbow room; the 32-inch is easier to fit through a doorway and into a corner.
Should I get the GD-SS02 in 304 or 316 stainless?
Read the Stainless Steel Guide tab on this page: 304 is standard and suits indoor or mild outdoor use, while 316 contains molybdenum for much stronger resistance to salt water, chlorine and coastal conditions. After you choose a size, the 316 upgrade for that size appears on the selector with its price.
Is a chiller included with the barrel?
Yes. The box includes the IA-10HC 1 HP chiller with heating and cooling, hoses, connectors and seals, two filter cartridges, a filter wrench, thermal covers and RGB underwater lighting. The chiller sits beside the barrel and connects by hose. A Promax chiller upgrade is available on the page if you want extra capacity.
What temperatures can it reach?
The Specifications tab lists 38 F to 108 F. The dual-function chiller both cools and heats, so the barrel can serve as an ice bath or a warm soak. Because the water column is tall and narrow, keeping the thermal covers on between sessions helps hold the set temperature and reduces run time.
Can the stainless barrel live outdoors?
The Features tab says it suits indoor and sheltered outdoor environments, and 316 is the better grade if it will see salt air or pool chemicals. Keep the chiller under cover on a dry, level surface with clear airflow. See the cold plunge barrel range for more options.
How is the water kept clean in a barrel plunge?
The chiller circulates the water through a 20-micron filter and built-in ozone disinfection, which keeps it clear between changes with little effort. Keep the covers on, rinse or swap the cartridge when flow slows, and buy spares as a 6-pack from the Accessories selector on this page. The description also notes the stainless surface is hygienic and easy to wipe down.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent
MP
Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10
G
Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
