The process of using your hot tub is as simple as:
1. Plug in your garden hose to the connection point (it's the same point that the tub drains from)
2. Fill with water (cover the hose that connects to the top of the heater)
3. Light the fire (suggest lots of firelighters if you're not too proud!).
4. Keep it roaring for a few hours (Small wood pieces & lots of flame = faster heat up.)
5. Stir every half hour (try to lift the colder water from the deep)
Ease off on the wood at around 35 degrees.
6. Jump in at your desired temperature (most people 36-40 degrees)
To tweak the temperature; add cold water or fuel the fire.
Hot Tip: Try lighting the fire the night before a tub session. This will slightly pre-warm the water in advance. Be sure to leave the cover on overnight.
Smallest tub; 1-3 hours.
Largest tub; 5-6 hours.
Reheating is faster.
The biggest factor for fast heat up is using small and very dry (seasoned properly) pieces of good quality firewood.
Most people find it simplest to refill the tub after a period of time.
Some people add bromine or chlorine to help make the water last longer.
There is an optional pump & filter ($350). This helps with keeping the water clear for many weeks at a time.
Cold rainy days make for some of the best times in your tub!
None, zero, zilch. Our hot tubs and cold plunges are completely off-grid design. (Excluding electric filter pump optional add-on.)
It’s very simple, keep the fire well-fueled during the heat up stage, then ease back on adding firewood just before you reach your desired temperature.
There is a temperature gauge to help.
Yes, during the heat up stage it helps to stir the water every 30-60 minutes to get an even distribution of heat. We will provide a cute paddle that does the trick perfectly.
No. The sound of a crackling fire is much more relaxing than a rumbling fan motor.

Almost any location. It just needs to be accessible on foot, have a reasonably level surface that is minimum 3m x 3m, and access to clean water (E.g. A garden hose).
Any ventilated area with sufficient load-bearing capacity is perfect (Lawns, patios, decks, paddocks, driveways etc)
We'll communicate with you to arrange a suitable delivery window.
We've seen some creative hatchback drivers fit tubs in!
But generally we suggest station wagon or bigger (or trailer).
The tubs pack into about 6 boxes, which are each the size of a large microwave.
In most conditions smoke is minimal. Dry firewood in small pieces is best to ensure a clean burn.
It is the customers responsibility to operate the product safely (and manage hazards to children such as those associated with fire and water).
The tubs come with the following warning:
“WARNING! Children have drowned in portable swimming pools. Ensure active adult supervision at all times. Do not leave children unsupervised in or around the pool—keep them within arms’ reach. Empty and store safely after use.”
Check with your local fire authority for definitive advice.
The fireplace is fully enclosed, and most regulations make provisions for enclosed fires.
