Red Cedar wood-fired hot tub for 6-8 people

Happy Timber uses three main types of wood: Red Cedar, Thermowood Spruce and Pine. Red Cedar is known for its durability, natural resistance to moisture and pests, and excellent insulating properties. Thermowood, or thermally modified wood, has been treated to improve its resistance to moisture and rot, giving it a long lifespan. Pine is a cost-effective option that, when treated properly, can also be durable.

The Happy Timber hot tubs spa system includes multiple functions aimed at relaxation and well-being. This includes water jets that deliver powerful jets of water for a massaging effect, air jets that provide a vibrant experience, and ambient LED lighting on the bottom that can illuminate the hot tub for evening use. This combination creates a luxurious spa experience in the comfort of your own garden.

The main function of the 3kW electric heater in a Happy Timber hot tub is to keep the water at a constant temperature. This is especially useful during colder months as it helps prevent freezing and ensures the hot tub is always ready for use. This heater supplements the primary heating source and offers convenience and efficiency.

The filter system in a Happy Timber hot tub consists of a sand filter and a UVC lamp. The sand filter plays a crucial role in removing physical impurities from the water, such as sand, dirt and other particles. The UVC lamp helps kill bacteria and algae through ultraviolet radiation, which contributes to a hygienic environment. This system ensures that the water remains clear and clean, which reduces maintenance frequency.

Happy Timber offers a preferred option for polyester balls in their hot tub filter systems. Polyester balls are an excellent choice because of their durability and effectiveness in filtering small particles, resulting in clearer and cleaner water. These bulbs are also easy to maintain and replace, contributing to lower maintenance costs and improved hygiene. In addition to polyester balls, other filter materials such as sand or glass can also be used, each of which has its own advantages. Sand filters are traditional and very effective for larger particles, while glass can be a more environmentally friendly alternative and perform better at capturing finer particles.

Maintaining a Happy Timber hot tub requires regular care to maintain quality and functionality. This includes cleaning the water and the inside of the tub, periodically treating the wood with a suitable oil or sealer to protect it from the elements, and monitoring water quality by checking pH and chlorine levels. Regular maintenance of the filtration system, including replacing the sand and UVC lamp according to manufacturer's specifications, is also important.

The warm-up time for a Happy Timber hot tub depends on several factors, including the initial water temperature, the outside temperature, and the type of heater. On average, it takes about 2 hours to heat the water with a wood-burning stove. This time may vary, so it is important to keep this in mind when planning use.

Energy efficiency in a wood-fired hot tub can be achieved by using well-insulated materials such as Red Cedar, which has natural insulating properties. Using a thermal deck or cover also helps retain heat and reduce warm-up time. In addition, choosing the right size hot tub for the number of users and burning wood efficiently by using only dry, split wood is essential for minimizing energy consumption.

Safety is crucial when using a hot tub. Important safety measures include safely shielding the wood-burning stove to prevent direct contact, ensuring that all electrical components such as pumps and heaters are properly installed and operating to safety standards, and supervising children when using the hot tub. In addition, it is important to test and treat water quality regularly to prevent health risks from bacteria or incorrect chemical levels.

Replacing the water in a hot tub depends on the frequency of use and the quality of water maintenance. For a Happy Timber hot tub, it is generally recommended to replace the water every 3 to 4 months. Regular water quality testing can help determine when the water needs to be changed to maintain a clean and safe environment.

A Happy Timber hot tub requires a sturdy and level surface for installation, such as a concrete pad, sturdy decking, or a specially prepared gravel base. The hot tub must be accessible to the necessary water supply and, if applicable, electrical connections for heaters and pumps.

Yes, a Happy Timber hot tub is designed for year-round use. With appropriate maintenance, such as using a thermodeck and regularly checking the water quality and the wood stove or electric heater, the hot tub can also be used comfortably and safely in the winter months.
