What are the problems with wood fired hot tubs?

Maintenance. Maintaining a wood-fired hot tub can be more labor-intensive compared to other types of hot tubs. The wood-fired system requires regular cleaning and ash removal. Additionally, the water in a wood-fired tub needs to be changed more frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria and algae. This can be time-consuming and may require extra effort.

Fire Safety. Wood-fired hot tubs pose a higher risk of fire compared to electric or gas-powered tubs. The open flame used to heat the water can be a hazard if not handled properly. It is crucial to follow all safety guidelines and ensure that the tub is placed on a non-combustible surface and away from flammable materials.

Environmental Impact. While wood-fired hot tubs may seem eco-friendly at first glance, they do have their environmental drawbacks. Burning wood releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution. Additionally, the water used in wood-fired tubs needs to be disposed of properly to avoid contaminating natural water sources.

How long do wood fired hot tubs last?

Maintenance Tips. The lifetime of a wood-fired hot tub is said to be more than 15 years, with proper use and maintenance. Over time, the outer wood panels will age/wear so will need to be cleaned and oiled to keep them looking new. Maintenance of a wooden hot tub is different from a plastic tubso here is what you need to do for both.Wooden Hot TubsStained and Thermowood outer panels should be treated with wood oil diluted with water. Red cedar outer panels can be treated with paraffin oil.The inner surface of a wooden hot tub requires more thorough cleaning. Regular washing with detergent is recommended, as well as rinsing and drying it thoroughly. We do not recommend treating the inner panels with wood oil or other similar substances as they will dissolve in the bathwater when it is heated.Plastic Hot TubsThe outer wood panels can be treated the same as above. Plastic interior tubs are a lot easier to clean and maintain, as dirt and impurities simply slide off their smooth surfaces. Again thorough cleaning with detergent, rinsing and drying is required.

What Accessories are Available?. Accessories for wood-fired hot tubs are endless. These range from insulated covers and filters to steps and drinks holders.An insulated cover is the most important accessory to purchase with your hot tub. The use of a properlyinsulated cover will significantly decrease the heat-up time due to less heat evaporating from the water.Steps are a great accessory to have. They provide safe entry and exit from the hot tub and are a must-have if you have children or difficulty accessing one of the larger models. The smaller steps are lightweight and are designed to fit around the tub with matching wood finishes. Some of the larger steps feature handrails for convenient support.Take your bathing experience to the next level with drink holders that connect to the outside of the tub and LED lights that are installed between the insulation and the interior lining of the footwell.The light shines through the translucent interior material, with no need to make any holes in the tub.

Does a wood fired hot tub need a pump?

No need for a circulating pump or electricity – meaning all you hear is the gently crackling of the wood fire as you unwind. Water temperature can be easily and efficiently heated up to the optimum temperature range between 35° and 40° in around 2-6 hours, depending on the hot tub size and outside temperature.

What is the cheapest base for a hot tub?

Hot Tub Base Options. Concrete Base. This tends to be a common approach for hot tubs becuase it offers strong support for the weight and also keeps the area nice and clean. Concrete is solid, not overly expensive and is quite easy to lay. If you are worried about how it will look then simply make the pad slighty bigger than the footprint of the hot tub and this will hide the ‘concrete’ look. You can also add a deck or patio trim around the bottom if there is visible concrete that you find unsightly.

We recommend a concrete pad that is at least 10cm thick. We alsorecommend the concrete to be sloped at 1.5cm per 3.5m, this ensures water runs off the pad and prevents pooling.

Patio, Block Paving and Other Existing Stone Surface. Most patios, block paving and other surfaces are already reinforced and will be able to take the weight of a hot tub placement. If you are unsure then you may need to consult a specialist in this area. The benefit of using an existing area is of course cost saving but there is also a time consideration as less preperation is required. It is worth ensuring the stones are level and also worth ensuring the drainage is ok as you do not want water to pool under the hot tub.

Are wood fired hot tubs cheaper to run?

Cost. Because wood-fired tubs heat up 5 times faster than electric-heated ones, you may wonder how much it would cost to run them. Since wood-fired tubs only require dry firewood to function and use no cords or electricity, wood-fired will always be more cost-effective as firewood is much more affordable than electricity.

Eco-Friendly. Since wood-fired hot tubs are naturally durable and decay-resistant, they can last for 10 to 15 years. Our hot tubs with their fibreglass lining and wooden cladding exterior when looked after with the proper care and maintenance are equally as long-lasting. This, therefore, means that wood-fired hot tubs are a far more sustainable option than their electric-heated counterpart.

Reliability. Electric-heated hot tubs have components such as control panels, jets, pumps, etc., that can break down throughout the lifetime of the hot tub. On the other hand, wood-fired hot tubs have much less hardware, so there’s less to fix over time.

How long does water last in a wood fired hot tub?

How Often to Change Your Water. Depending on use, you might find you can get months of use with just one fill when treated with bromine or hydrogen peroxide every few days. For accommodations hosting different guests, or properties with limited water, we recommend setting up a simple filtration system for your wood burning hot tub to reduce maintenance, keeping it clean and hygienic for months of frequent use. You’ll need electricity and flanges installed into your AlumiTub to make it compatible with a pump and filter system. Flanges need to be pre-installed, so be sure to request this at the time of ordering. You’ll also want to use the Cedar Lid and Firebox Plate to keep debris out of your wood burning hot tub.

If achemical-free, all-natural soak is important to you, we recommend filling your tub with salt water, which only requires changing every 7-10 days compared to 3-4 days with fresh water. Read about water cleanliness tips in this blog post to extend the lifespan of each fill.

How to Treat Your Water. If you’re only soaking every other weekend, an AlumiTub doesn’t require chemical cleaning treatments. That’s because, unlike electrical hot tubs that are always on, the water returns to ambient temperature when not in use, preventing bacterial growth.

But if you plan on using your tub for longer periods of time, you’ll want to keep your water as fresh as possible. A preventive approach is always the best option to keeping your tub clean and your hot tubbing enjoyment maximized. When you keep clean, your water will stay fresh for longer and you’ll spend less time draining and cleaning it out.
