Here’s how you can structure the Heating Options section for your outdoor wellness range 👇


🔥 Heating Options – Internal vs External Firebox

1️⃣ Internal Firebox with Baffles

  • Integrated design: the firebox sits inside the tub structure for compact installation.
  • Baffle system: improves heat circulation and reduces cold spots.
  • Fast heat‑up: direct thermal transfer to the water.
  • Ideal for smaller spaces or where a single‑unit aesthetic is preferred.
  • Visual appeal: classic wood‑fired look with chimney rising from the tub itself.

2️⃣ External Firebox Option

  • Separate stainless heater unit connected via insulated hoses.
  • Safety and comfort: no exposed flame near bathers.
  • More bums on seats — full internal space available for soaking.
  • Easier maintenance: clean and reload firewood without disturbing users.
  • Flexible placement: heater can be positioned for optimal airflow and access.

💡 Why Choose External?

For families, accommodation providers, or wellness retreats, the external heater offers maximum seating capacity, simpler servicing, and enhanced safety — all while maintaining the authentic wood‑fired experience.

Filtration & Water Care

Smart Circulation System

Our wood‑fired tubs can be fitted with a compact filtration unit that keeps water clean between uses.

  • Inline pump and cartridge filter for continuous circulation
  • Optional UV steriliser for chemical‑free purification
  • Quick‑connect hoses for easy maintenance and seasonal draining

Flexible Configurations

  • Internal heater models: filtration loop integrated into the baffle system for efficient flow.
  • External heater models: filtration unit connects directly to the heater’s return line — simple, accessible, and ideal for commercial setups.

Maintenance Made Easy

  • Replace filter cartridges every 3–6 months depending on usage.
  • Rinse system weekly for optimal clarity.
  • Compatible with eco‑friendly spa treatments and low‑chlorine solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions – Wood‑Fired Hot Tub Tasmania

Q1. How long does it take to heat the water? Typically 2–3 hours depending on water volume and ambient temperature. The efficient wood‑burning stove ensures even heat distribution without electricity.

Q2. Can I use the tub year‑round in Tasmania? Yes. The timber and stainless‑steel construction is designed for Tasmanian conditions — from frosty Huon Valley mornings to summer evenings by the river.

Q3. What kind of wood should I use? Dry hardwoods such as blue gum or stringybark provide steady heat and minimal smoke. Avoid treated or resinous woods.

Q4. Does it need plumbing or power? No permanent connections required. Fill with a hose, heat with firewood, and drain via the built‑in outlet when finished.

Q5. How do I maintain the timber exterior? Apply a UV‑protective oil annually and keep the tub covered when not in use to preserve the natural finish.

Q6. Can it be installed on decks or gravel pads? Absolutely. A level, fire‑safe surface is all that’s needed — timber decking, concrete, or compacted gravel all work well.
