Why Ofuro Tubs Are an Excellent Addition to Any Home

If you have never heard of the Ofuro bathtubs, then you may be in for a surprise when you discover the luxury these Japanese hot tubs can provide you. In the Japanese language, the term Ofuro means private space for recreation.

The Ofuro tub is usually deeper than a standard bath tub and the water rises up to ones chin. This is why there is normally no over flow drain found in a bath tub. Because of this an Ofuro tub should be placed where there’s a floor drain or outside on a deck or garden.

How Ofuro is Heated?

Water in an Ofuro is heated from a variety of sources including your existing hot water tank. Though the larger volume of an Ofuro may mean you need to totally drain your tank. If you’re filling an Ofuro tub this way then you should have at least an eighty gallon water tank.  Other methods such as electric inline heaters, or even wood fired and propane heaters can be employed to heat the water.
