The first hot tub smoke filter in Europe
The hot tub wood smoke filters are made in Vlissingen, are Dutch-made and the only ones within all of Europe. At EcoCat and Welvaere , user-friendliness is paramount. That is why the ABCAT® is double-walled. This actually works just like the heat shield around the stove tube, preventing you from touching the really hot part. This makes using the ABCAT® HOTTUB extra safe.
Like Welvaere , EcoCat stands for quality. The hot tub smoke filter is therefore made of a high-quality material. The housing of the filter is stainless steel 316. Like the heater and heat shield, the double-walled filter will not discolor and retains its beautiful "silver-gray" color.
The catalyst works on the basis of palladium and platinum. These are precious metals, just like gold. The catalyst material is in a round module that must be placed directly above the stove. The wood smoke passes through this catalyst. The catalyst cracks incompletely burned compounds such as hydrocarbon compounds. These compounds give the color and odor to wood smoke. In addition, the catalyst acts as a filter, capturing some of the particulate matter (fly ash).
