How quickly does a hot tub heat up?

This is a question we get a lot from people who visit our showroom. Not entirely unimportant if you would like to purchase a hot tub. What is striking here is that many people think it takes much longer to get a hot tub up to the right temperature. But this is not that bad!

Heating the water with a wood stove

On average, with a good wood stove and firewood, a hot tub is ready for use in as little as 2 hours. But here you also have to fire the right way. We always use the Swiss way to fire. This is not only fast but also produces the least amount of smoke! Read more about this method here.

Heating the water electrically

Heating a hot tub electrically takes longer than heating with a wood stove, about 1 to 2 degrees per hour. This makes it best to leave the element on continuously. A big advantage of a hot tub that is always warm is that you can get in at any time.

Depending on several factors

  • How you heat the water, wood-fired or electric
  • The size of the Ducktub
  • The outside temperature and that of the water
  • How much power the stove has
  • What type of wood you use
  • Which way you fire
  • Whether the stove has enough draft

Different wood stoves

With us, you have the opportunity to choose from different stove strengths: Welstove Medium, Large and Pro. These heaters are great for heating all hot tubs to a wonderful temperature.

The hot tub with wood 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 Ducktub from Welvaere you always get the wood stove, or Welstove as we call them, externally. On the outside of the hot tub. Connected with a number of heat-resistant hoses. This way you have more space ánd such an external hot tub heater is much more user-friendly. It makes firing a lot easier.

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!
