Originated
from Japan, Ofuro tubs are traditional soaking tubs used generally as a
spiritual ritual instead of just a bath. This traditional bathing
practice is different from the North American and European bath tubs.
These Japanese hot tubs are capable of providing you with sensual
pleasure, well being and harmony being connected to the natural
surroundings.
The
Ofuro hot tubs are ideal to use in a garden or a spiritual landscape.
They are known to restore mental and spiritual health by providing
enormous private space for relaxation. In fact, you will see amazing
improvement in your health as they help in stimulating circulation.
How Do You Enjoy this Traditional Bath Practice?
This
Japanese soaking tub is intended to do much more than just getting
oneself clean and tidy. After you’re done with daily chores, you should
be lathered, scrubbed and rinsed thoroughly before entering the hot tub.
As
soon as your body is clean, you step into the tub and start sinking
slowly into the deep, pure and clean hot water. Soaking yourself
submerged to the chin makes you feel relaxed and contemplate. Generally,
shampoos and soaps are not used as mineral salts and light fragrant
oils are the main add-ons for Japanese hot tubs.
The Available Options of Ofuro Hot Tubs –
Northern Lights Cedar Tubs is the premier manufacturer of Ofuro tubs, which
specializes in providing two different styles to choose from. One of
them is oval – ideal to use for two persons whereas other one is round
version.
All
of their hot tubs have interior height of 25” and exterior height of
30”. This stands out as the ideal depth to deliver a complete body soak
while allowing you to make the most out of visual surroundings. You can
install these tubs indoors. Though there is no liner, it’s highly
suggested to install properly tiled floor drains or a shower basin. Most
people like to enjoy very hot Japanese baths; so you should consider
proper ventilation. However, garden or deck hot tub settings need very
little consideration rather than other heating processes.
You
can choose two main stream heating options like traditional wood fired
heater and electric hot tub heating kit. Feel free to ask the sauna
supplier if you want to use a propane heater. The electric hot tub
heater is available with a quiet circulating pump, a 50sq. ft. filter,
and 1.4/5.5kW. If you want to avoid changing water frequently and
freezing pipes during winter, this heater becomes handy.
The
wood heated kit comes with small Timberline wood burning heater. This
allows the hot tub to be heated even if there’s no electricity
available. When the grid power is available, the system can upgrade
further.
No
matter whatever type of heating you opt for, you will keep the water
warm without focusing on the fire constantly. All of Ofuro tubs are
available fully assembled with standard center-positioned stainless
steel drain that connects to one and half inch PVC drain pipe. You can
have additional accessories like matching stairs, shelf, back rests and
insulated covers with child-proof locks.
