Good to know: The chiller needs air above 40°F (4°C) to run, so keep it in a garage or under cover through the winter.
Before you order
This page gathers what Sun Home publishes about the Vertical, checked Oct 16, 2026, and adds up what it costs to install.
Who should buy the Vertical?
The Vertical suits someone who wants a chilled plunge they can move or pack away, standing upright in a tub about 35 inches across. It holds 106 gallons, and its separate 1 HP chiller cools to 32°F (0°C) and heats to 104°F (40°C).
The hard-shell Cold Plunge Pro costs about $10,700 more. Ice Barrel's 500 is an upright barrel that runs on ice unless you add a chiller.
What does it take to install?
The chiller needs a dedicated 15-amp GFCI circuit and air above 40°F (4°C) to run, so a garage or a covered porch suits it through the winter. The tub's inside is about 28 inches across and 35 deep, and it comes with an insulated cover and a carrying case.

What to know before you buy
These decide how it holds the cold and what it asks of your home.
- 120V Dedicated CircuitThis model plugs in at 120V on a circuit of its own, through a heavier-duty outlet than a standard wall socket. If your home doesn't have one, an electrician adds the circuit and the outlet.
- Active ChillerA powered chiller holds your set temperature year-round, so the cold stays consistent and you never make an ice run.
