Why traditional steam sauna barrels are so great

No one is immune from stress. We all have our fair share of stress-related conditions, whether it is a headache, backache pain, or anxiety. That is why hot tubs are so popular. Spending time in a hot tub will improve your health and reduce the effects of everyday worries and stress.

The warm water of a hot tub increases the production of the hormone dopamine in the body. Dopamine is released by the parasympathetic nervous system, related to pleasure and relaxation, and known to counteract stress.

The release of the hormone reduces nervous tension and has a calming effect. Immersing yourself in the water of a hot tub will help to reduce muscular discomfort and stress.

This makes relaxing in a hot tub one of the most beneficial things you can do to improve your health.

Our range of traditional steam sauna barrels

Hot tub sizes are available in diameters of 1.5m, 1.9m, and 2.2m.

The seating capacity depends on the heater arrangement (external or internal) and the diameter.

The 1.5m hot tub suits 2-4 people comfortably with an inside heater and 6 people in the same sized hot tub with an outside heater.

The 1.9m hot tub with an inside heater holds 4 to 6 people, or up to 8 people if the heater is located on the outside.

The largest-sized 2.2m wood fired hot tub holds 6-8 people with an inside heater and 10 people if the heater is assembled on the outside.

Wood fired Heater Specifications

Which heater is right for me?

Wood fired external hot tub heater

Advantages

1. The heater does not take up extra room within the hot tub, allowing for more space for the user to enjoy a soak.

2. It is simple to access the heater for adding firewood and for cleaning.

Disadvantages

1. Because the water is cycled through the heater outside the hot tub, the heating time is slightly longer.

2. You must exit the hot tub to add firewood.

3. This outside heater option is more costly.

Internal (submerged) hot tub heater

Advantages

1. Because the heater is immersed and in direct contact with the water, little heat/energy loss occurs.

2. This option is less costly.

Disadvantages

1. Cleaning the wood-fired heater and lighting requires additional time and attention.

2. Seating capacity is reduced as the heater takes up space inside the hot tub.

3. The chimney needs to be removed to cover the hot tub with the included wooden cover.
