Who is a built-in hot tub suitable for?

Installing a hot tub (partially) is a great option for those who want to create a sleek, integrated look in their garden. Imagine a patio where the hot tub is subtly incorporated, so that it blends seamlessly with the outdoor space.

In practice, people often opt for a smart compromise: partial installation. This allows you to combine style with practical convenience. You retain access to the technical components as well as the comfort of a freestanding hot tub.


The benefits of a (partially) built-in hot tub‍

Incorporating a hot tub into your garden design offers several benefits:

  • Sleek design: The hot tub blends seamlessly into your garden or patio
  • Space-efficient: You make the most of the space and maintain a clean, uncluttered look
  • Greater comfort: A lower entry height makes it easier to use
  • Flexibility in design: Consider options such as bubbles and jets (in plastic models)
  • Relaxation and health: Regular use helps promote relaxation, improve sleep, and reduce muscle discomfort


Points to consider when installing a hot tub‍

Installing a hot tub sounds appealing, but it does require proper preparation:

  • Installation: Integrating a hot tub into a deck or ground structure is more complex than installing it as a freestanding unit
  • Technology and circulation: For wood-fired hot tubs, the stove and tub must be at the same height to ensure natural circulation. If this is not the case, an additional pump is required
  • Additional costs: The extra costs are mainly related to the construction of the patio or the groundwork, not the hot tub itself
  • Maintenance: Technical components must always remain accessible

Our recommendation: choose a freestanding hot tub or a partially built-in model. Not fully built-in‍

Although a fully built-in hot tub is possible, we do not recommend it in practice. It makes installation and maintenance more difficult and less flexible.

It’s also important to note that we do not offer fully built-in hot tubs. Our hot tubs are not specifically designed for this purpose.

Would you still like to create the look of a built-in hot tub? Then a semi-recessed installation is a smart solution. You get the luxurious look of a built-in hot tub, while keeping it practical, accessible, and easy to maintain.

A partially built-in hottub‍

With a semi-recessed installation, for example, the hot tub is recessed into a deck or surround. This creates a sleek, integrated look without compromising on accessibility or ease of use.

Full Dutch design

We are the designers and manufacturers of our products. At Welvaere , you Welvaere several production halls and factories where our products take shape, all on Dutch soil. Unique in the Netherlands is that we have set up our own Ducktub . On average, dozens Ducktubs roll out of this production facility Ducktubs week for customers in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and other countries. Each Ducktub made to order and passes through various stations in the production hall. True Dutch craftsmanship!

How much power does a built-in hot tub consume?

The power consumption of a built-in hot tub depends on the additional options you choose, such as a filtration system, bubbles and jets. The filtration system must run 24 hours a day for optimal use, while other features consume power only when in use. Electric heating of the hot tub takes about 1 to 2 degrees per hour, which means that maintaining a constant temperature can be efficient.

Types of built-in hot tubs

At Welvaere , we Welvaere a wide range of hot tubs that are suitable for (partial) installation. Our Ducktub , featuring a durable plastic inner tub and high-quality thermowood finish, fit into virtually any garden and integrate seamlessly into a patio or garden design.

The models are available in a variety of shapes and sizes: from round and oval to square and angular. There are also several options in terms of seating comfort, ranging from traditional straight designs to ergonomically shaped ones that provide extra support.

For those who love the authentic outdoor experience, there are wood-fired models where you stoke the fire yourself. Prefer convenience and control? Then there are also electrically heated hot tubs that easily maintain the desired temperature.

In addition, there are various add-ons available, such as bubbles, jets, and LED lighting. This allows you to customize your hot tub to suit your needs and the way you want to integrate it into your garden.

Although our hot tubs were not specifically designed as fully built-in models, they are ideal for partial installation. This allows you to achieve the same sleek look without compromising on ease of use or accessibility.

Are all built-in hot tubs suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, all of our hot tubs are designed for relaxing in the great outdoors. In fact, that's where they do best. The beautiful wooden surround made of thermowood will last as long as 20 to as much as 25 years. 


Cost of a built-in hot tub


The cost of a hot tub that you want to install (partially) in-ground varies depending on the model and the options you choose. At Welvaere , we Welvaere a base price that you can enhance with various luxury upgrades. As a result, the investment ranges from a few thousand euros to over ten thousand euros, depending on your preferences.

It’s good to know that the extra costs associated with a “built-in hot tub” usually aren’t for the hot tub itself, but for the surrounding installation. This includes building a patio or deck, or preparing the ground where the hot tub will be installed.

In addition to the initial purchase, there are also recurring costs to consider. To preserve the wood, we recommend treating it annually. You’ll also need to use water maintenance products to keep the water clean and safe.

There are also operating costs. Additional features such as a filtration system, bubbles, or jets consume electricity. A filtration system runs continuously, while bubbles and jets only use power when in use. Electric heating warms the water by an average of 1 to 2 degrees per hour, which has a significant impact on your energy consumption, especially during colder months. With wood-fired hot tubs, you need to factor in the cost of wood, and with biodiesel models, fuel costs.

Since we don’t offer fully built-in hot tubs, we’ve found that opting for a partially built-in design often results in lower and more manageable costs. You retain flexibility while still achieving the look of a built-in hot tub.

By taking these factors into account, you can make an informed decision and enjoy a hot tub that suits your garden, your needs, and your budget.

Installing built-in hot tub


Our
Ducktub are easy to install. If you choose delivery and installation by Welvaere, we’ll take care of the entire installation process. If you opt for curbside delivery, you can set it up yourself with the help of our manuals and videos.

Would you like to partially build the hot tub into your garden or patio? If so, the installation becomes much more complex—especially if you opt for a seamless integration into a deck or raised platform. We don’t handle this ourselves, but it can be done by a landscaper or contractor. If you’re handy, you can also do it yourself.

When using wood-fired hot tubs, keep in mind that the hot tub and the stove must be at the same height. Only then will natural circulation work properly. If this is not the case, an additional circulation pump will be needed.

Asmentioned earlier: we do not offer fully built-in hot tubs. Our hot tubs are not specifically designed for this purpose either.

What is possible, however, is incorporating a hot tub into your garden design by partially embedding it. This creates a sleek, integrated look without compromising on ease of use or accessibility.

Electric hot tub

Welvaere is the only place in the Netherlands where you have the opportunity to choose a fully electric hot tub heated with a Balboa system. Balboa is the biggest player in the field of systems for spas, jacuzzis and hot tubs.

By choosing an electric hot tub, the water is always at temperature. The advantage of this is that you can step right in at any time. You can also combine our electric hot tubs with a wood stove!

The hot tub with wood-burning stove

In a true traditional hot tub, the water is always heated with a wood stove. In fact, in these hot tubs, the heater was always in the water. This is not the case with our wood-fired hot tubs.

With a Welvaere hot tub, you always Welvaere the wood-burning stove, or Welstove as we call it, externally. On the outside of the hot tub. Connected with a number of heat-resistant hoses. This gives you more space and an external hot tub stove is much more user-friendly. It also makes heating much easier.
