We only use the best quality wood, and you can choose from a wide range for your hot tub.
All our tubs are wood fired. It's the most efficient method of heating the water and also saves your electricity bill.
Fully customisable including the fibreglass colour and additional hot tub extras.
All of our hot tubs are fitted with ergonomically designed, super comfortable fibreglass contoured seating, available in multiple colours. Come together and invite your friends and family over and relax in comfort in the warm water all year round.
All of our tubs are delivered right to your door, and all tubs are pre built, requiring minimal installation. Just find a flat surface, stock up on wood and you'll be up and running in next to no time.
Rather than charge you for items you don't need, we allow you to customise your wood fired hot tub to make it personal.
Still not sure which type to go for? We understand, it can be one of the most difficult decisions when choosing your wood fired hot tub.
Internal wood fired burners (not sold by EZ Shopper), where the burner sits directly in the tub with it's occupants, are typically the most efficient way to heat your hot tub water. As the furnace has maximum contact and surface area with the water, this typically causes the water temperature to increase quickest out of the three major setups. The internal burner is typically separated from the occupants by a wooden fence, although it is still in close proximity and would not be best suited to those who intend to use the tub with children. Another consideration with the internal burner types are that the furnace takes up considerable room in the tub, meaning less room for occupants. These tubs are ideal though as they represent the best value for money for a majority of users.
Next are the external wood burner hot tubs. The heater is separated from the tub via pipes and leaves the fibreglass shell of the tub looking most similar to that of a traditional jacuzzi, as there is no sacrifice of space in the tub for an internal or integrated burner. These external burners can be located away from the tub for safety, or due to lack of space. One consideration with external heaters are that depending on the distance away from the hot tub, the heat loss can be greater than internal or integrated designs, which means more firewood and longer heating times. External circulation pumps can help with this, and external burners are very popular due to their versatility.
Finally, integrated burner designs represent the most popular choice, due to their compromise of internal tub space and minimal footprint in the garden. They are usually considered the most sleek and visually impressive in terms of the design, and offer lower levels of heat loss than external heaters, whilst saving room for extra people in the tub.
We only offer Thermowood panelling on our hot tubs, as we believe it provides the best resilience against heat and has a high satisfaction rate amongst customers. Thermowood tends to be a premium choice, as it has been put through a high temperature treatment process. This makes the pores of the wood close up and stops it from absorbing further moisture. It also causes the resin to evaporate. As the more premium option, the wood tends to be extra resistant to decay, rotting and warping under humidity. Surprisingly, itβs one of the lightest options and has a dark finish.
We recommend that you apply suitable wood oil to all of the external and accessible wooden parts including the stairs, panels, lid, etc) twice per year, before and after the winter season. Check which oil is suitable for your chosen colour, but we recommend using linseed oil for most unpainted options. Panels can also be painted or stained.
All models in our current range can only be delivered fully assembled. We donβt sell any self-assembly hot tubs. This keeps things simplest for our customers with minimal setup time required.
Our fiberglass models are available in one size only with a 200cm or 220cm external diameter. These can accommodate up to 6-8 people or 8-10 people.
We only sell integrated burner hot tubs at EZ Shopper as they are by far the most popular option. Internal / external heated options are also available from other suppliers. However, the main difference is that internal heaters have a lower heat loss, as they are submerged directly into the water, whereas external heaters suffer more from heat loss as they are not installed into the hot tub and are connected by tubes. The integrated burner design, where the burner is fitted between the fibreglass and wood, is a good compromise between internal / external options.
We recommend a temperature of 38ΛC, but this does come down to personal preference. Those with any pre-existing health conditions should always be extra cautious and seek professional advice before using a wood fired hot tub. It should be noted that as these are heated naturally, that care and attention should be used to ensure that the temperature stays within safe limits.
The heating time does vary, as it depends on the outside temperature, water temperature, heater type, etc. However, as a guidance in the summer, you can expect a 1.8m hot tub to take 1.5-2.5 hours to reach a comfortable temperature.
Our standard, default option heaters are made from 304-grade stainless steel. You should upgrade the heater to 316-grade stainless steel if you intend to use chlorine, bromide, saltwater or any other chemicals in the water. If you do use these chemicals in the 304-grade heater you will likely wreck your hot tub and will quickly experience degradation of parts. The retailer and manufacturer will not accept any liability for misuse of chemicals.
As mentioned in the previous answer, ensure you upgrade to the stainless steel, 316-grade heater if you plan to use any chemicals or salt water.
If youβre not using filters, chemicals or salt water cleaning, you should be sure to change the water at least twice a week, but potentially more depending on use. If using filters and chemicals, you should follow the guidance of the manufacturer and ensure that the water is changed as required.
If thereβs a chance that the temperature will drop below freezing, we strongly recommend emptying the water after use to ensure that no components are damaged if the water freezes. Note that:
We encourage you to! Just make sure that you take care of it in line with the manufacturerβs recommendations.
Itβs super easy! Just use a standard garden hose lowered into the hot tub and fill it up as you would do a paddling pool.
An external water tap is installed near the heater.
For our fibreglass models, the pumps are hidden in between the fibreglass shell and the wood panels, for a sleek finish.
For most equipment no, and we try and make everything plug and play where possible. Hydro pumps and internal hot tub LED lighting comes with a short lead and UK plug. However, we strongly recommend that for long term use that an electrician helps to install a permanent solution.
In most cases no, but make sure that the ground can bear the load of the tub and water and most importantly that it is on a flat surface.
The wood fired hot tubs can be used for 10 years plus, if the right care and attention is given to them.
For a stronger massage effect, we recommend the hydro massage system. This system has 6 chrome nozzles.
Most people opt to not include a massage system at all, especially if they are not intending on hooking their hot tub up to electricity or itβs impractical to do so. If you want to be at peace with nature, not having a massage system installed is perfectly acceptable.
For log burning tubs, the water temperature should be monitored using a thermometer and by restricting the amount of wood placed into the heater. If necessary, it can be topped up with cold water.
Be sure to use dry and dense firewood which is calorie rich to ensure that you get maximum efficiency. The best types are oak, alder and maple, typically. Itβs also possible to use biomass fuel bricks in the heater, but you should ensure that coal is never used as this can damage the heater.
The lead time is typically 4-8 weeks as hot tubs are made to order. The lead time tends to be on the lower end of this estimate during winter, and the upper end in summer. Hot tubs will subsequently be delivered once they have been satisfactorily tested.
