Frequently Asked Questions

1. ISN'T THE ALUMINUM TOO COLD OR HOT TO TOUCH?

                Actually no. The aluminum is the same temperature as the water.

2. WHERE IS THE FIREBOX?

                The firebox is set inside the tub so it can heat up the tub very quickly.

3. CAN YOU BURN YOURSELF BY TOUCHING THE STOVE UNDERWATER?

The stove is not too hot under the water and the fence is more for looks rather than protection

4. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SET THE TUB UP?

As long as it takes you to go and get your hose to fill it - as it comes pre-assembled.

5. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAT IT?

3-5 hours depending on the temperature of the water you are using. Once it has been heated up, it holds the temperature fairly well as it is insulated so it generally takes 3-5 days before the water cools off completely.

6. WHAT DOES IT COME WITH?

                Everything you need to use the tub including:

• Planed cedar seating

• Protective rough cedar fencing surrounding the wood stove

• Styrofoam rigid insulation to lay on top of the water

• Insulation to wrap around the exterior of the tub, fits underneath the cladding

• Rough cut cedar 1" x 4" boards for exterior cladding

• Three 1 1/2" stainless steel bands to hold the cedar cladding around the tub
