Hot Tub Safety
How hot does the water get?
You vary the water temperature by means of a thermometer and by adjusting the fire with the regulator (air intake). Once the desired temperature is reached, simply close the air intake and the water temperature will not rise noticeably.
Does the base of the tub get slippery?
If dirty water is left in your hot tub, bacteria will form a slippery coating. If the inside of your hot tub is disinfected and cleaned as per instructions, it will always offer a good non-slip surface.
Is there a danger of burning myself on the boiler?
The burner is protected by a fence and you should make no attempt to touch the burner when it is lit. However, any surface underwater will not be hot on brief contact. Sustained contact (excluding water from the surface) may cause a burn.
Does the flue get hot?
The chimney (flue) above the cover board is insulated and timber-clad to avoid danger to users.
Do you provide steps for getting into the tub?
Yes - a simple set of 2 wooden steps with rail/cloak pegs.
How deep is the water when at the correct depth?
Maximum depth inside the tub is 31"(80cm) with an initial fill depth of approx. 25"(65cm) allowing for the displacement of bodies.
