A great system just got even better!

We've made some significant and exciting improvements to our best-selling Active Ice® Cold Therapy System.  

New Features for 2014: 
  • Improved insulation on all water lines to eliminate condensation at the control box. (Condensation can sometimes be mistaken for a leak.) 
  • Improved instructions and fill line sticker to help eliminate confusion and overfilling with water. (Overfilling the reservoir causes many issues.)
  • Redesigned interior to eliminate any chance of water leakage when directions are followed.
  • New pump motor which is more consistently quiet and operates at a low hum.
We hope these changes will ensure a 
positive experience for every customer!

Active Ice® Cold Therapy System

"I have had nothing but good luck with this product. 
I found that it was pretty quiet and performed better then expected."
- Craig in Concord, NH

The sticker below is strategically placed on the inside of the cooling reservoir. Some customers have experienced various problems (ex: reduced cooling time) as a result of overfilling the cooler with water. It's important to fill the cooler to the top with ice first, before adding water to the fill line. 

Water Fill Line Sticker


PHYSICS 101: Did you know that using too much water will cause the ice to melt more quickly? Using less water (and larger blocks of ice!) will allow the ice to stay frozen longer and help keep the water at a comfortable, cool temperature.

HO HO HOT!

It's hard to be jolly when your red suit and hat have you overheated! Perhaps Santa's cheeks are like roses and his nose like a cherry because... Mr. Claus is hot and uncomfortable during his busiest season!

Fortunately for Santa, our Kool Max® Vests can be worn discreetly beneath his jacket so not even little Jackson or Sophia can tell he's wearing a cooling vest as they're sitting on Santa's lap.

Santa says:

"I'm almost halfway through my season at Wellington Green Mall in Wellington, FL. This is my 11th year doing Santa and by far the "Koolest". The Kool Max Zipper Vest has made a major difference for me and I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it." - Santa in Wellington, FL


Kool Max® Cooling Packs

"I have three sets of Kool Max Poncho Vest Pack Sets. I can go all day long staying cool in my Red Santa Suit. I don't even break a sweat. I enjoy being cool and comfortable under my Santa Suit." 
- Santa in Bellevue, NE




"I wear a santa suit and work in a small room with a roaring fireplace and about 70 people, It gets very hot! The Polar Kool Max poncho vest keeps me cool, works great and is very comfortable. With an extra set of packs I am set for the day!"
- Santa in Seville, Ohio



We know what's on Santa's Wishlist this Christmas...
Milk, Cookies and Cooling vests!

PS - Thank you, Santa, for Polar's early Christmas present... a shiny new sign on our building!

Rubber Ducky, you're the one...


Our friend and colleague Jeang recently visited the 18-meter-tall Rubber Duck on exhibit in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.  

Created by dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, the original duck has travelled to 13 cities in 9 countries since 2007!

Unfortunately this giant bath-toy replica was a victim of last Thursday's earthquake in Taiwan. Officials say that another duck has been commissioned.

Check out more pictures of Rubber Duck on Florentijn Hofman's website:
