Cold weather and dark nights become so much more alluring with a wood-fired eco hot tub from Hot Tubs in France.
What is a wood fired eco hot tub and how does it work?
A wood fired hot tub uses a wood burning stove rather than electricity to heat the water, and since it heats up five times quicker than an electric heating system, it’s a very economical way to enjoy a bit of luxury at home.
Hot Tubs in France offer a variety of sizes with a beautiful, natural wood exterior and features that include soft internal lights and a bubble system.
Combined with the gentle crackling of the wood stove, an eco-hot tub creates a little pocket of wellbeing and relaxation.
The secret to wellbeing and a stress-free winter
We all know that giving ourselves some time out to relax and unwind is important for our mental and physical health. But a wood fired eco tub goes a little bit further. Nicola McCabe of Hot Tubs in France says “Our clients tell us that our hot tubs are life changing for them. The feelgood factor is high which makes them happy, but it’s also about wellbeing. If you generally don’t go outside much when it’s cold, this is a way to enjoy the outdoors and stay warm. But it’s more than that, you can disconnect from the stresses of everyday life, and there are many health-boosting properties to soaking in a hot tub.”
“It’s a sensual experience with the sound of the crackling wood fire, the soothing effect of the bubbles gently massaging your skin and the soft lights, while the warm water and steam both relax and invigorate you.”
In fact, many athletes use a wood fired hot tub to both recover from events and training and to boost their performance. The warm water can help soothe muscles, improve circulation and ease seasonal aches and pains. You may find it helps to reduce stress, helps with any seasonal rheumatism and arthritis, and make you sleep better.
The magic of Wood-fired Hot Tubs in Cold Weather
There’s nothing quite like submerging your body in warm water in the revitalising crisp cold air of a winter’s day and watching your breath hang in the night air or gazing at the twinkling stars on a clear frosty night. When it’s cold outside, it’s often the best time for getting the most out of your hot tub.
While stolen moments under the stars in the hot tub on your own with your favourite tipple may become some of your most treasured moments of the winter, it’s also a great way to enjoy special moments with loved ones and friends. If the kids are joining you in the hot tub, this is a rare technology-free chance to spend some quality time together without their phone (or yours). If it’s romance you’re looking for, well, a hot tub for two with a bottle of champagne is pretty special. But it’s also great fun jumping in the hot tub for a catch up with friends or family.
Eco-friendly and economical
Hot Tubs in France supply wood-fired hot tubs made using Nordic wood sourced from responsibly managed forests, and for every tree used, several more are planted.
Wood fired hot tubs are energy efficient. They only need electricity for the use of the bubble jets, the LED Light Systems and filtration system (on Hydro tubs), and these are optional if you’re keen not to use any electricity. The hot tubs don’t use electricity or gas to heat up the water which saves money on energy bills and wood is, of course, also a renewable source of energy which, when it burns releases no more CO2 than if it were left to rot, so it’s carbon neutral.
You also have environmentally kind options when it comes to keeping the water clean – you can use chemical-free water treatment so the water can be re-used in the garden.
If you’re worried about the hassle of maintenance, don’t be. The Nordic wood used is long lasting and highly durable. There are no maintenance or service costs involved and the hot tub fibreglass and acrylic tub interiors are easy to clean and have a quick-drain point.
Hot Tubs in France take care of everything for you – from helping you to choose the best option – from a 2-man tub to much bigger. By the way, they also supply wood-fired saunas that are so lovely to look at you may want to move in! LINK The perfect pairing for your wood-fired hot tub.
Just think of it, it’s cold, dark, miserable and it’s been a long day, but the lights are shimmering in the hot tub as it gently steams and all you’ve got to do is slip in and relax and enjoy the magic.
