However, Ofuro hot tubs are available with two mainstream heating options like the traditional wood fired heater and electric heating system. Feel free to ask the sales team if you want to use a propane heater. Generally, these hot tubs can be heated in four different ways which are discussed below:
- The electric heating option available with Ofuro hot tubs comes with a 1.4/5.5 KW Balboa Digital Spa Pack and a 1/8 HP Circulating Pump and Filter. This heating system allows sauna bathers to control the temperature by simply pressing a button. The presence of a filter in the kit keeps the water clean and doesn’t require draining frequently.The kilowatt power produced depends on the service voltage as 1.4KW is produced with 120V. Even, you can buy a higher end spa package producing 4 KW heat and coming with advanced programming options and remote control option by using an iPhone.
- Access to lots of free wood? Consider using a wood fired hot tub heater for Ofuro hot tub. The smaller volume of water can be heated in these tubs within around one to two hours with only the cost of wood. They don’t require electricity and there’s no filtering. So, water will get murky much quickly and water requires to be changed often.
- Have lots of free wood and accessibility to grid power? You can use a wood fired hot tub heater and combine it with a pump and filter system to keep the water clean and clear. Furthermore, consider adding an electric heater to filter.Once water gets heated with a wood burning heater, you can keep the water at the preferred temperature without attending to the fire constantly. The electric heaters differ from a simple inline heater to more sophisticated digital spa packs. When they are used in freezing weather conditions, it’s highly recommended to use filter and electric heating options.
- Do you live in a location with unavailability of grid power? Don’t want to get involved with wood? Use a propane heater that comes with a solar PV circulation pump. A propane heater requires a circulation pump for its operation.In addition, Northern Lights can supply a highly efficient pump, which shuts down a small inverter. As a result, it produces power from 24VDC batteries which get charged by an 80W PV solar panel. Even, a cold tub gets heated within less than an hour.
