GENERAL INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE HOT TUBS
HOT TUB HEATING
IMPORTANT
– the fiberglass hot tub heaters heating
temperature can’t go higher than +55C° as higher
temperatures can damage the fiberglass gel coating
(will start blistering). Once the hot tub is fired up, you can
turn the Hydro Jet System on periodically to help the heat
circulate evenly within the water.
When the hot tub is filled up with water (15cm from the
top of the hot tub edge), you can fire up the heater.
The best way to fire up the hot tub is start with kindling
and paper (fire lighters (tablets) can be used). When the
flame is getting bigger you can add bigger pieces of
wood. It is recommended to use kiln dry wood with sub
15% moisture. Fire intensity can be adjusted with the
vent located on the boiler/firebox which regulates the
air intake into the burning chamber.
IMPORTANT
– do not load more than 2 thirds of wood of
the height of the heater.
IMPORTANT
– if the hot tub is not
filled up to the right level, you can’t light the heater, because
the emitted heat will damage the tub and the heater.
IMPORTANT
– water from the hot tub can be drained only
when the heater is completely cooled down. Otherwise,
the heat will damage the hot tub and the heater itself.
IMPORTANT
–
DO NOT
allow the tub to overflow. This can
lead to problems with the Bubble System. Allowing your
tub to overflow will void your warranty.
NOTE
– You may see some dripping coming from
under the firebox/boiler onto the ground. This is just the
condensate valve and is removing moisture from the boiler.
The water dripping is minimal but does appear more on
some surfaces. You can check it’s the condensate valve
by putting your hand where the drip is coming from and
feeling for the little outlet. This is entirely normal & essential
– your tub isn’t leaking, don’t panic!
