FAQ
What are the advantages of an integrated oven?
An integrated oven is integrated into the hot tub housing. This ensures high heating efficiency with less wood and time being used. Unlike internal ovens there is more space in the hot tub as the oven is located under an elevated seating position. Another advantage is the oven is hidden in the housing improving aesthetics and efficiency by protecting it from external weather conditions.
Is preliminary work required for installation?
The hot tub is ready for use immediately. It has supporting impregnated beams so that the main body doesn’t come into contact with the ground. Ideally if placing on soil (or grass) use a geotextile membrane and some gravel 20cm larger than the diameter.
How long does the water last?
This depends on various factors
- Outdoor temperature
- Number of users and frequency
- External environment: tree leaves, insects and dust etc
- Continual use of the lid when not in use
- Rinsing and showering before using the hot tub
Taking these factors into account one would expect the water would need to be changed after 3 days.
What are the advantages of an acrylic shell?
Immediate use
With proper care, wood lasts a long time, but wood play (expansion and shrinkage) cannot be avoided. Thus, filling a long-standing barrel sauna with water can reveal that it is leaking. To do this, let it run for several more hours for the wood to start to expand, and if necessary, adjust the fastening rods. After expansion, there may again be little space between the rods and the rods must be readjusted. Sometimes this process can take several days.
Maintenance
The acrylic shell is not porous and therefore dirt will not stick to it. For washing, it is usually enough to rinse with a garden hose and from time to time quickly cross the sponge and dishwashing liquid.
Comfort
The plastic content is especially comfortable because the backrest has a tracking shape.
Practicality and efficiency
As the seating has no space below it, the water under the seat is not heated unnecessarily. This means less water to fill the hot tub and less wood and time to heat it.
