Hydro Systems’ Cold Plunge Wins The PIA Award
Hydro Systems’ Cold Plunge was honored with a Product Innovation Award (PIA) and featured in the November/December 2024 issue of Architectural Products.
This prestigious award recognizes products that excel in form, function, wellness, and sustainability—and our Cold Plunge delivers on all fronts. As the only luxury tub manufacturer to integrate cold plunge technology into the interior bath space and across our entire bathtub collection, we’re proud to set a new standard for wellness and design. Here’s what the judges had to say: “This seems to be an advancement in design to provide a wellness package to several lines of tubs, while offering pioneering sanitation features. This is a product line worth recognition for innovation.”
An installation of a Hydro System bath can include one of their signature jetted therapeutic systems and chromatherapy, so adding Cold Plunge to the same tub provides the bather with several immersive options. For the private home spa environment, it provides a convenient and efficient use of the space, because the same bathing vessel can be a soaking tub, a hydrotherapy tub, or a cold plunge tub.
