The Home Of The Scotch Tub
What is a scotchtub?
A Scotchtub is an ideal alternative to a conventional hot tub or spa for those looking for something out of the ordinary. With no electrical connection or chemicals needed, our wood fired Scotchtubs are a perfect solution to the rising electricity prices, or for those looking for an option for rural or off grid locations ( oiled tub shown). These are handpicked and sanded whether natural or oiled. They are the prefect accessory for country living and star gazing!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
By thermosiphoning! What is a Thermosiphon? A thermosiphon is a passively driven thermal management device that utilizes the motive forces of natural convection and conduction.
A WHAT? Or to put it another way, cold water enters via the bottom pipe and as its heated by the fire it rises up the coil and re-enters the Scotchtub via the top hose in around 2 hours your Scotchtub is ready to use (25mm coil shown we can offer 32mm for those wanting this please email for current prices for this upgrade!).
How much Maintenance?
Keeping it filled with water is all you need to do to keep your Scotchtub watertight. just drain off the old water, give it a rinse out with a hose pipe and refill when you want to use it and that´s about it! The oiled finish does require regular oiling, whereas the natural rustic finish requires little or no attention and can be left to weather naturally.
How do you get in and out?
