Best purchase I've ever made!
We have been blown away with how great this hot tub has been since we purchased in summer 2021. The quality of the hot tub is outstanding, it's such a great deal. From order through to delivery the communication was great and delivery itself very smooth. The wood burner offers a much more efficient and authentic experience than an electric heated version, it looks great in the garden. It does not take long to heat up and with the lid on it retains the heat all day and evening. In hot weather it's also great for the kids to use as a plunge pool. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made!
Fantastic product at a reasonable price
I've had my hot tub for just shy of 12 months now and i couldn't be happier with how it performs...it's so fast and efficient at heating up from stone cold. We can be enjoying a dip at 40 degress in no more than 90 minutes from lighting it, and with the upgraded insulated cover, it stays warm over night so you can even go back in the following morning... Overall, I can fully recommend this product to anyone who is considering buying a wood burning hot tub.
Rather than charge you for items you don't need, we allow you to fully configure your wood fired hot tub using our 3D configurator. You can then use your phone's camera and AR (augmented reality) to see how it would really look in your chosen location. We allow you to select:
A wood fired hot tub is different to a jacuzzi hot tub in that they use a wood burning stove, as opposed to an electric heater to heat the water. The tubs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as rectangular types (often known as "Ofuro" and circular. The tubs are made from different types of wood side panels, such as cedar wood, spruce, or Thermowood.
Modern versions are inspired by traditional Japanese Ofuro tubs, that were known to cleanse the soul and provide a number of mental and physical benefits. Wood burning tubs can be installed with or without electricity, and off grid designs are a great way to unwind in a quiet and romantic setting.
At EZ Shopper, our tubs are only available in the best, sustainable and long lasting materials.
The off grid nature of a wood fired hot tub means that water can be heated without the use of electricity, using only the heat generated in the heater. The water can be heated via an integrated stove, or external stove, as explained in the other sections above on this page. The stove itself heats the water through a series of metal coils, and the water passes through naturally by convection or thermosiphoning (no pump is required). Cold water is naturally drawn out of the hot tub through the hole at the bottom, and re enters the hot tub at the hole near the top of the water line.
The fire temperature can be controlled by the amount of wood used, and the adjustable air vent. It's always recommended to use a thermometer in the tub, to keep an eye on the temperature. A good temperature is around 38 degrees centigrade.
It's important to note that in freezing temperatures, the water should be drained from the tub. This is because any expansion of freezing water in the heater coils will more than likely damage the metalwork and could cause irreversible leaks.
It's safe to say that integrated stoves heat the water quicker than external stoves with pipework, for obvious reasons. However, external heated tubs do have their benefits, and usually the space saved in the tub allows an extra person to fit inside. Useful if you are planning big parties.
Wood
Spruce comes as standard on our base model, and is more than capable for use in a wood fired hot tub. Spruce wood has a natural light colour, which will darken over time with use, and when exposed to the heat of the tub. This is not a problem, or a defect in the wood, but just a natural reaction which should be expected with this wood type. We recommend applying protective oils and lacquers to spruce, to ensure its longevity.
We also offer Thermowood panelling, which 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, it’s one of the lightest options and has a dark finish.
PVC
PVC is becoming more popular as a material in hot tub side panelling, due to the fact that it does not require treating in the same manner as wood. Our PVC has a wood effect look, and comes available in two great colours.
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 don’t sell any self-assembly hot tubs. This keeps things simplest for our customers with minimal setup time required.
Our fibreglass models are available in two sizes with a 200cm or 220cm external diameter. These can accommodate up to 6-8 people or 8-10 people.
We only sell integrated and external burner hot tubs at EZ Shopper as they are by far the most popular options. The integrated burner design, where the burner is fitted between the fibreglass and wood, is a good compromise between internal / external options. whereas the external heated options allow more space in the tub, but have a higher heat loss from the burner.
We recommend a temperature of 38˚C, 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 you’re 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 there’s 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 manufacturer’s recommendations.
It’s 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, if an off grid design is configured. Electrical equipment, including hydro pumps and internal hot tub LED lighting comes with a short lead and plug. However, this is only included for testing purposes, and it is imperative that a certified electrician installs the appropriate earthing and cabling to the hot tub from your power supply as 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. Our warranty covers 1 year.
The air bubble system has 12 bubbles which provides a lighter massage and circulation effect.
For a stronger massage effect, we recommend the hydro massage system. This system has 6 chrome nozzles located on the back rest.
Many 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 it’s 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. The heater has an air vent which can be closed to slow down the fire.
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. It’s 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.
