FAQs
Is the Antarctica Barrel a medical device?
No. It is intended for wellness, recovery, and athletic performance use only. This chamber is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
What temperature range can I expect?
Typical operating range is approximately -60°C to -100°C, depending on configuration and environment.
How do Simple and Grand differ?
Simple uses a single compressor for standard use; Grand adds a dual-compressor “turbo” for faster pull-down and heavier session volume.
What are the install basics?
Confirm doorway clearance (~130″), provide a dedicated electrical connection per model, and plan for water/drain or chiller connections as needed.
Pro Tip: For high-traffic facilities, the Grand model’s dual-compressor system minimizes downtime between sessions and maintains consistent temperatures throughout the day.
Disclaimer: The Vacuactivus Antarctica Barrel is designed for non-medical wellness and recovery purposes only. It should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and consult qualified health professionals before beginning any cold exposure regimen.
