Japanese hot tubs have garnered maximum recognition and popularity from sauna enthusiasts all over the world.

Generally, Japanese soaking hot tubs can be installed indoors. Though there is no liner, it’s highly suggested to add properly tiled floor drains or a shower basin. Most sauna bathers simply love the hotness of Japanese baths, but you should consider proper ventilation. You’ll need to make very little consideration for garden or deck hot tub settings than other heating methods.

These tubs have two mainstream heating options traditional wood-fired heater and electric hot tub heater. You can ask for suggestions if you want to use a propane heater.

This system can be ideal for those who are looking to take more advantage of traditional spa style applications without changing the water frequently. By using this heater, you will make sure that the hot tub remains usable during winter. You won’t need to get stressed about freezing pipes.

You can consider a Timberline wood heater for Japanese hot tubs. This heating system ensures heating the hot tub without using electricity. When there’s the availability of grid power, the system can be upgraded further if desired with different electric heating options.

With any of them, you can take advantage of having filtered water and keeping water warm. Even, you won’t need to focus on the fire constantly. This addition is recommended for hot tubs used in freezing weather.

Only you need to invest in the wood. You won’t need access to electricity as there’s no filter and water will get murky quicker and water will need to be replaced often.

If you’ve lots of free wood and accessibility to grid power, you can use a hot tub heater and augment it with a pump and filter to keep the water clean. Consider adding an electric heater to the filter; so once you heat the water with the wood-burning heater, you can keep the water at the desired temperature without attending to the fire constantly.
