Heating the water electrically
Heating a hot tub electrically takes longer than heating a hot tub with a wood stove, about 1 to 2 degrees per hour. This makes it best to leave the element on continuously. A great advantage of a hot tub that is always warm is that you can get into it at any time and don't always need a hot tub warm-up time.
How long does it take for a hot tub to heat up?
On average, a wood-fired hot tub takes between 1.5 and 4 hours to heat up. Using a thermometer in the water helps to accurately measure the temperature.
Hot tub temperature
We recommend heating the water to a temperature 38 degrees Celsius for the perfect bathing experience.
How do you get a hot tub hot quickly?
Heating a wood-fired hot tub can be done in several ways, but the best way is to start with small, dry logs. Add these gradually to the hot tub stove and make sure the air supply is optimal. This ensures efficient combustion and rapid heating of the water.
