Wood heated hot tubs
Are you aware that wood heated hot tubs aren’t just nice to lay in? Such an activity (e.g., jacuzzi) can also have a lot of direct and indirect benefits to a person’s health and the property as a whole. A lot of buyers only wish to have a wood heated hot tub because it seems comfortable and relaxing. What ends up happening is they overlook the obvious physical and mental health benefits that come along with it.

The benefits begin from the most obvious, which is stress relief. Laying in hot water can calm you down and release a lot of psychological frustration that may be bothering a person at the moment. Warm water always has a soothing effect which you can benefit from any time you’re sitting in the wood fired tub/jacuzzi. The effect is strengthened with the help of other simultaneous stimuli – relaxing tunes, nice smells, low lights, etc.

If your heated wooden tub comes equipped with hydro massage or air bubble massage features, you can also reap the benefits of muscle relaxation. These streamers, also commonly called jets, can shoot a stream of air/water into certain areas of the body, sort of massaging the muscle and easing off a lot of tension that may be pent up. The massage function isn’t just there for show. It’s actually proven to have a positive effect on injury risk reduction as well as helping people recuperate after a long day, recover after an injury or during rehab.

Closely following the ease of physical tension is the similar benefit of diminishing pain. SPA features of the wood fired hot tub are an excellent antidote for arthritis or tendon, joint, muscle pain (whichever one or combo you may be suffering from). The relaxation can ease pain and thus, give you more motion and function within the part of the body you want to make the pain go away from.

Next up – relaxation benefits in terms of better sleep quality. Research has shown that being in a wood heated hot tub and stimulating your body with warm water leads to better and more peaceful sleep. It can be used as quite an effective treatment of insomnia even.

Better cardiovascular function is also a benefit that you can enjoy. By just having a soak in an outdoor hot tub, any person can expect better cardiovascular function thanks to passive stimulation from heat and warmth. It should lower blood pressure.

As the final two benefits of wood-burning hot tubs, we would like to point out that by just lying in a tub, a person actually burns calories. An hour in a tub is equivalent to a good 30-minute non-stop walk. Besides, thermal therapy within the tub is great for people with diabetes since it improves insulin sensitivity.

In terms of benefits for your property, a custom-made wooden hot tub is just going to thrive as an excellent spot to relax. You can gather friends, family and have a fun, relaxing time in a company or solo. Moreover, it can definitely increase the value of your property.

But, in order to help you in making the decision and in order to speed up your browsing, here are a few tips and things to look at, when you’re looking to buy wood-fired hot tubs from our online catalogue.

The first thing to look at is the design. Depending on your home (e.g., garden, backyard, and the area as a whole), the best-looking choice can vary. More rustic and remote locations, especially considering somewhere around a Spruce and/or Fir forest, the wooden and wood-themed, more rustic options will look better. Choosing the thermowood finish will add extra aesthetic luxury as well as practicality in terms of making the tub itself more heat efficient. For more country and rustic or remote locations, we definitely recommend the classic log burner hot tub.

Fiberglass log burner hot tubs are a bit more contemporary but aren’t short of classiness too. Modern luxury will blend in with every kind of environment and fit anywhere from 6 to 8 people, becoming a very versatile addition to your home or cottage. The bespoke unit from Wild Tubs can enrich your exterior. Combine it with wooden stairs to make the tub as practical as possible. It can be combined with an external wood-burning heater or even electric heating elements for the quickest and most comfortable water heating. The same applies to polypropylene hot tubs. They offer a much more modern vibe when compared to the classic and rustic-looking classic wooden one. Don’t forget that you can add products to your wish list or quick view items on-demand in the catalog.

Besides aesthetics, there are a lot of technical capabilities to work with. Wild Tubs allows its customers to create a genuinely unique tub explicitly tailored to their needs. Browse through the numerous design choices, select the most appropriate heating method, add accessories like SPA features, LED lights, and more.

How to prepare for a hot tub fitting/installation?

This question is quite common, and people spend a lot of time trying to figure out where in their property and how they are going to fit the desired rectangular or square hot tub.

First and foremost, look at the dimensions of the tub and find an appropriate amount of space outside of your home. Hot tubs are best when placed outdoors rather than being put inside. Since most of them are heated through burning wood and combustion processes, managing exhaust fumes and the fire hazard is much simpler when not inside. Once enough area is secured, figure out what you’re going to pick for the foundation. The tub must be on a level surface; otherwise, the water could sway, and it might leave the people inside with a very unbalanced and discomforting feeling when one side has a higher water level than the other.

As the surface material on which the tub will be placed, we recommend avoiding regular grass/lawns, etc. Since air needs to properly circulate from under the tub, in order to prevent hazardous situations, the recommended choice is either grinded/crushed stone, gravel.

Once the wood fired tub is placed, make sure to break it in before use. This is applicable to wood-only constructions or traditional tubs. How do you break in a hot tub? Well, by swelling up the wood, primarily. The first use should be done by filling up the tub with about 5 inches (approx. 12 centimeters) of water and letting it sit for 8-10 hours. You should incrementally add in more water until the tub is filled. The wood planks need to get used to moisture and to be able to absorb large quantities of it. You shouldn’t shock them right away; thus, this preparation is necessary.

Depending on your heating arrangement, test out the heating elements. Fill the tub with water and light up the wood fuel or fire up the electrical heating element. There is a common debate whether it matters which wood you choose for fuel or whether it doesn’t. And while it’s not a radical change for the more casual user, if you want to produce less soot and have an easier time cleaning up after heating the tub, choose hardwood over softwood. That’s due to the fact that hardwood, when used as firewood, develops much less soot and ash-related pollution.

With regards to care for the wood fired tub, we recommend completely draining and changing the water in the bathtub only a few times per year, unless you use it very frequently or don’t have proper filtering and treatment solution installed. If multiple people are or plan to use it, we definitely can give a strong suggestion to install the filter for maximum cleanliness. Washing and maintenance instructions can be and will be given to every customer.

Benefits of a customized wood fueled hot tub
What are the benefits of having and buying a customized tub over a mass-produced unit? Every time you compare a bespoke, tailor-made (e.g., made-to-order) item to a mass-produced one, the benefits are clear. In the latter situation, the buyer and the client have very limited control over which features will be included and whether the unit might force to compromise. This is the largest issue – being forced to compromise over wants and needs.

However, if you choose us and make your own wood fueled hot tub with Wild Tubs, we allow the customer to have complete and total freedom over which features he or she might desire to include or not take.

Thus, Wild Tubs offers the complete and limitless possibility to configure whatever you like. Choose the paneling, colors, type of the tub, heating methods, and accessories to create the best tub for yourselves. Supplementary guidance videos might help you out and see our products in real life. Videos are included on the sub-page of every product.

Buy a hot tub & delivery information

If you want to customize and get your own tub delivered to you in around a month’s time, please follow the instructions laid out in our How to Buy section or read the description here. We’ve decided to describe the purchasing and delivery process to ensure as few questions should arise as possible.

Ordering and purchasing are initiated and completed on our website. Wild Tubs has an integrated configuration tool that allows you to fully customize and edit the wood fueled hot tub which you’re going to order. Once the order is complete, and the client puts in their contact information, in order to process the quote, we can approve and begin the production. We hold no units for sale and thus, hand manufacture units to order. Enter your email and phone number in the final part of the assembly process so we can get in touch. Our team will then process your order, resolve and discuss any areas of concern before an agreement is made. Changes and alterations are arranged during this step (if needed). Once the offer has been made, and the client accepts it, Wild Tubs ships out the necessary documents, including a primary invoice and a special contract. Upon receiving these documents, simultaneously, the client is requested to proceed with an advance payment of 20% to the total amount due. A wide range of payment methods is acceptable.

Once payment is received and processed, our team sends an update to the client and begins production. Since we’re a company that does everything in-house, the production time depends on the order queue as well as the complexity of the wood fueled hot tub which you’ve ordered. A big, round, luxurious fiberglass hot tub with all the accessories might take a bit longer to produce when compared to a classic wooden tub with a bare minimum of extras. Regardless, production should take between 2 and 4 weeks.

But that’s definitely not the end of it. The benefits of bespoke production also come into play at this stage. Once the production is completed, our team takes detailed photographs of the freshly built wood fueled hot tub and sends it out to the customer. Besides, throughout the entire production process, everything is continuously monitored in order to preserve the highest order of quality. After the photographs are sent to the customer, they can evaluate the final product and mention each aspect that they wish to change (if necessary). If the product is right as the client wants, the remaining amount is paid, and the whole tub is shipped out. Paying the whole sum or by installments are possible. The contract which we signed earlier will protect both sides from any confusion!

Transport and delivery rates, as well as terms, are calculated individually for every order. We can ship worldwide. Wild Tubs is flexible and will arrange proper transport in order for the tub to arrive at an appropriate time. Actions in case of damages occurring during transport are discussed while arranging the shipment.

FAQ

Is maintaining and owning a hot tub difficult?

Depends on what you consider difficult. Overall, regardless of the perspective, maintenance of the wood fired hot tub is quite straightforward and doesn’t require that much effort. If you maintain it properly, you can expect your hot tub, without or with an electric heater to serve for over a decade.

In terms of required maintenance, don’t forget to change the water after every use, unless you have a filtration system in place. The wooden exterior should be oiled every 6 months (recommended) or once a year at a bare minimum. Paint or varnish for extra protection, if desired.

Which size of the tub will serve the best?

We can produce different sized tubs per request of our customers. Standard sizes are either 1600-1800 mm tubs which hold up to 6-7 people. There are sizes in between, but the largest unit we can make is 2200 mm in diameter which is good for 10 or even 11 people at a time.

How to treat the water?

Water treatment isn’t mandatory, but we always suggest choosing the filter as an extra. Chemical treatment measures and agents are only necessary if your goal is to allow for the water to sit in the tub longer and you’re not keen on changing so often. Some measuring tools are also good to have as the optimal pH range for hot tub water is between 7 and 7.5. Keeping the pH of the water within these boundaries should help prolong the lifespan of the wood burning hot tub. Chlorine may also be used if you monitor the dosage very carefully.

How long does it take for the water in the tub to heat up?

Depending on the heating method, the time it takes for the water to warm up can slightly differ. First off, wooden tubs need swelling; thus, you can’t use them right away. The optimum temperature for the water is around that of the body or 35-39 degrees of Celsius. If you don’t have a cover, the heat will quickly evaporate, meaning that the heating, especially during winter, cold fall, or spring days, might take longer. At the most, using firewood, heating could take around 3-4 hours. However, if you use a cover and select high-quality firewood and/or use the electric heater, the time should definitely be reduced. Around 1.5-2.5 hours seems like the optimal time.

Is bathing in a hot tub just fun, or does it have health benefits?

As we’ve stated, using a log burner hot tub isn’t just exciting, relaxing, and/or fun. Log fired hot tubs do have a wide array of health benefits too. Soaking in warm water can be very good for your cardiovascular health. While being sunken and submerging yourself underwater while also being massaged should ease tension, diminish pains, help recovery after trauma, just to name a few.

How Air bubble and Hydro massages differ from one another?

These two massages are very different. Air Bubble massage utilizes 12 individual jet streams that send out highly pressurized air which blows through, effectively massaging various parts of your body. Air bubble massage is great for fighting cellulitis, stimulating metabolism in the tissues and organs, reducing swelling and pain after trauma, etc.

Hydro massage uses 6 individual stream outlets to emit streams of water. They’re deep underwater, where a person can position their parts of the body to make sure they’re massaged. Hydro massage is great as temporary relief from pain, soreness, aching, and stiffness. TheAir Bubble massage can stimulate metabolism within certain tissues while simultaneously helping you feel more relaxed.

Which tub model is the best?

You might be wondering whether one particular tub is better than the other? In reality, all of our models have their unique traits, including pros and cons compared to one another. A small tub, compared to a large unit, will be easier to fit. The classic wooden tub might have a more timeless and rustic appeal vs. fiberglass and polypropylene units. But, regardless of whichever option you choose, they each have their own unique identity and the way they fit into your backyard/garden, etc.

How are the installation and the fitting of the tub done?

After the order is completed, we can send the tub directly to your address. Here’s the best part – we can ship it assembled or individual parts only so that you could have a fun DIY project on your hands.

Each and every wood heated hot tub will come for a European plug to connect to power. Special tools and skills aren’t necessary for the installation of the filtration system as well. However, we do recommend having someone over who has the expertise in such projects as it can be quite a challenge the first time around, especially with what relates to the preparation of the surface (if necessary), so you aren’t doing everything alone.

Best wood for burning?

If your tub is equipped with an internal or external heater (e.g., comes with a log burner), you’re going to need a lot of wood for burning. Which wood is best? We always recommend dried hardwood. Even though softwood might have a higher BTU, they usually develop resin which is much more difficult to clean and manage. Remember to properly dry the wood or purchase logs that are already dried before usage. Biomass briquettes are also suitable.
