Ofuro Soaking Tubs trace their roots to Japan, where bathing transcends mere hygiene to become a spiritual ceremony. Unlike typical North American or European bathtubs, Ofuro tubs exude a serene, Zen-like ambiance, offering not just physical relaxation but also a profound sense of well-being and unity with nature, often nestled in a tranquil garden or sacred setting. These Japanese tubs serve as sanctuaries for rejuvenation, fostering mental and spiritual equilibrium in a private haven, while also enhancing circulation for overall health.

The design of an Ofuro Tub necessitates a deep immersion, requiring a deeper basin compared to conventional bathtubs. Traditionally, the Japanese indulge in soaking sessions in intensely hot water, heated through the gentle, non-electric method of Wood Fired Hot Tub Heaters, ensuring a tranquil experience. Crafted from sturdy cedar, our Ofuro tubs retain heat exceptionally well, thanks to the wood’s natural insulating properties, offering a prolonged bathing experience. Made from clear Western Red Cedar, closely akin to the traditional cypress wood of Japan, our tubs boast inherent resistance to decay and bacteria, alongside excellent insulation. Furthermore, the aromatic essence of cedar enhances the sensory journey. Featuring an innovative architectural stainless steel strap system, our tubs effortlessly accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the wood, ensuring durability without the risk of splitting.

Description

The Ofuro Deluxe

This package is designed for freestanding/stand-alone hot tubs. We have included the deluxe cedar packs with stairs, shelves, skirting, and an enclosure for your heater and filters.

Exclusivity personified
Yearning for a full body massage? The Ofuro Cedar Wood Hot Tub from Firehouse is like your own personal body massage parlour. Stretch out in the unique oval barrel and drift away from all the everyday stresses. If it is your preference, let the strong warm water jets massage every part of your body and open the forced air jets to complete the sensual pleasure and feeling of wellbeing.
Pleasure shared, is pleasure doubled. The Ofuro is big enough and deep enough to share this exquisite experience with your partner.

Crafted from the finest solid Red Cedar Wood, the Ofuro Hot Tub draws its inspiration from Japanese zen-like physical and spiritual relaxation and being at harmony with nature. The Ofuro Hot Tub is constructed differently, and looks different, from any other hot tub or spa you have ever seen. An Ofuro experience makes it easy to understand why hot soaking is more of a spiritual ritual in the oriental world. The Ofuro is perfectly at home in a manicured garden, Japanese garden, landscaped grounds, or personally designed space indoors or outdoors.
An Ofuro Hot Tub was specially conceived for those who work hard and want to pamper themselves with unsurpassed luxury and exclusivity in their own private retreat, to daily restore mental, spiritual and physical well-being.

If your preference is a circular hot tub to optimise the volume of water, the Northern Light Ofuro Hot Tub can oblige with a diameter of 1270mm (50 inches) Red Cedar Wood Tub. Still large enough to lie almost full length in the hot water, with only your head sticking out! Or to sit up with the soothing water reaching to your chin and, if you prefer to add it, the water jets kneading your aching muscles and the air pulsating your skin.

What makes an Ofuro Hot Tub Unique?
Traditionally, oriental bathing takes place in very hot deeper water, heated by means of a quiet heat source, originally wood-fired heaters. The shapes and depth of an Ofuro tub have been specially designed to allow a deep chin soak in hot water and the thick cedar wood ensures that it warms up quickly and maintains its heat for much longer than in any other material or shape of hot tub or spa. These qualities combine to make an Orufo Hot Tob truly unique. For starters, the Ofuro is manufactured from Western Red Cedar Wood. It is naturally resilient to decay and the wood itself contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, actively killing bacteria and fungi. The pleasant aromatic flavour enhances the natural therapy of bathing in an Orufo Hot Tub! Red Cedar wood is renowned for its high insulating value and resistance to water, extreme temperatures and sunlight. The water heats up much quicker in the cedar wood tub and retains its heat for much longer. The unique architectural design, using a stainless-steel strap system to hold together the wood staves in either an oval or circular barrel shape, allows the tub to naturally expand and contract without worrying about the tub leaking or the wood warping or splitting. The Ofuro Hot Tub is deeper than any other design. With an inside depth of 650 mm and outside depth of 750mm, you can fully immerse your body in the hot tub. The tub is fitted with a floor drain.

Firehouse offers Northern Lights sanitation systems that are completely halogen, chlorine and bromine free. This is a much healthier and environment-friendly way to keep the water clean and the tub hygienic. Ofuro Hot Tubs are precision constructed with state-of-the-art laser technology, but with the same artistic flair of age-old barrel making by top craftsmen.
The patented, easy-to-use spa control systems ensure you can enjoy your Ofuro Hot Tub in safety and comfort.

Choice of Ofuro Hot Tub Shape.
Ofuro Hot Tubs are constructed in two barrel shapes, oval or circular. Both are large enough for two people and at 650mm, deep enough to soak right up to your chin when seated. Shorter persons can sit on benches, or lower the water level. The oval-shaped hot tub is 900 mm wide and 1750mm long. The circular shaped Ofuro has an outside diameter of 1270mm and both shapes hold 475 litres of water. Outside installation, whether on a deck or in the garden, requires no special adaptation. If installed indoors, it is recommended that the hot tub is seated on a tiled floor or tray with drains, to avoid spillage damaging the floor or water running out of the bathroom and to assist with draining the tub. Because of the very hot water, installation of ventilation fans, or other forms of ventilation is recommended. Our professional designers at Firehouse can inspire you with ideas for the perfect setting for your hot tub.

Choice of Ofuro Hot Tub Heating
The electric Ofuro Hot Tub heating system comprises an energy saving 1.4Kw heater, or a powerful 3 Kw heater with LCD controller and filter. The quiet circulating pump will not disturb your tranquil experience. This system can be used all-year round and the filter eliminates the need for frequent water changes. The electric system can be enhanced with water and air jets for complete a hydrotherapy experience and an interior light to create the right mood. If you want to stick to the ritual of wood-fired heating, Firehouse offers you our energy effective Timberline wood-fired heater. You may supplement the wood heater with an electric heater or propane gas heater for greater versatility. Ask the experts at Firehouse about the option of heat exchangers.

Accessories to Complete the Picture
Firehouse keeps an entire range of useful accessories to enhance your Ofuro Hot Tub for even greater comfort and enjoyment. You may add cedar wood stairs to easily and safely access your hot tub. Cedar shelving not only makes the hot tub look more attractive and finished-off, it is also a handy place to put you refreshing drinks or other things you may require while relaxing in your hot tub. A specially designed cover will protect your investment, keep dirt out, and keep the heat in if you want to leave the tub for a short while.

Why Cedar Wood?

Cedar is stunning, aromatic, antimicrobial, and adds value to your home, not to mention offers a naturally soothing experience. Western Red Cedar is suitable for all kinds of designs, both classic and modern. Its rich, warm colours have a soothing effect and ensure that it blends seamlessly with any environment.

Strength & Resistance
Western Red Cedar is one of the few species that can naturally withstand all types of weather. It can withstand the most extreme climates for decades. Its natural resistance to moisture, decay and insects makes it the ideal choice for structures that are exposed to sunlight, rain, snow, heat and cold, year after year.

Insulation
Western Red Cedar has very high thermal properties, which is, of course, an important feature for hot tubs and saunas!

Eco-Friendly
Western Red Cedar is a fast-growing and sustainably managed timber. Indeed, its total forest area has increased by over 20% since the 1970s.

Sustainable
Natural materials are essential for a completely restful experience. The Red Cedar of which all Northern Lights
hot tubs are manufactured is not an endangered wood species and is being sustainably managed. That means that your comfort and your respect for the environment go hand in hand. The aromatic smell of cedar coupled with a relaxing
soak and therapeutic massage will provide you with a unique and relaxing experience.

Water Treatment

Unlike plastic or acrylic tubs, our wooden hot tubs are manufactured using a 100% renewable resource of cedar wood. The wood is harvested using sustainable forestry management. There are no fossil fuels or petroleum’s used in manufacturing and no harmful wastes upon disposal.

It is very hard to find a customer who in this modern day is not concerned about the environment and the effects we are having on it. As such we offer sanitization systems that are 100% Halogen-free (no Chlorine or Bromine) Our systems are safe on even the most sensitive skin and on the environment! Using two of nature’s most powerful cleaners Ozone and Ionization, our tubs can be used safely while producing the cleanest water available. Using a combination of both systems provides the best most effective water management.

ClearBlue Mineral Ionizer

A natural alternative to chemical sanitization (eliminating bacteria & microorganisms) for Hot Tubs & Spas. This is an alternative to using Bromine or Chlorine as the sanitizer, the ClearBlue Ionizer hooks directly into your filtration system, releasing microscopic mineral ions designed to control bacteria and algae. Silver, Copper, and Zinc are added to the water by electrolysis which kills over 650 types of bacteria and algae and stimulates healing of the skin.

Simply put, this will allow for a substantial reduction of all types of chemicals. ClearBlue minerals have proven to be very effective in controlling algae. While chlorine and salt chlorinators will affect your hot tub’s water pH balance, ClearBlue mineral ions are totally neutral and your pH levels will not need any adjusting due to this treatment.

Balboa Ozone Sanitization

Ozone is nature’s cleanser and is 1000 times more powerful than chlorine in its ability to oxidize foreign matter including oils and bacteria that can quickly form in a hot tub. It is the most effective steriliser, killing bacteria and viruses on contact.

Ozone by Balboa is the most efficient and reliable source of natural disinfecting ozone on the market today. The Balboa O3zone UV Ozone Generator maximizes versatility with its unique Smart Start Technology. Reliably producing UV ozone to help sanitize your hot tub, the O3zone Ozonator uses a UV lamp with an integrated plasma cell for increased performance.

Mechanical Filter

The filter is included with our electric spa packs and will help to keep your hot tub clean by removing smaller particles. The filter cartridges are cleanable and replaceable by removing the top lid.
