Option #3: Gas / Electric Hybrid Heating System:

This is the most advanced gas/propane heating system on the market! It comes complete with a 5.5 kW electric Balboa Digital Spa Pack controller with a programmable LED touch panel to manage the Natural Gas or Propane unit . This systems allows the user to easily change the heating source by selecting one of three configurations:

  1. Only gas heat

  2. Only electric heat

  3. Both gas and electric heat simultaneously

This hybrid system allows users the greatest flexibility in energy choice and cost control by allowing the user to simply flick a switch and change the heating source from gas to electric or both.

The hybrid system automatically provides a built in back up system and because of the electric option, it can be used in colder climates where gas heaters are often not recommended to be used during freezing conditions. This heating system includes all the amenities of our standard digital electric system (filter, 1. 5 Hp pump 4 jets, skimmer, two bottom suctions, dual air controls) but uses a 100,000BTU input (~24 kW) gas or propane heater to give additional heating power.

The digital control pack is the single source of power and manages all aux units such as pumps, lights, ozone and electric ignition for gas heater. Designed for 220-240 VAC power.

Option #4: Wood Fired Chofu Heater

This Chofu model is a precision built wood-burning water heater designed specifically for hot tubs. It circulates water using the principal of Thermosiphon (the pumping action created by rising hot water), eliminating the need for a circulating pump or electricity.

This unique feature opens up a whole new range of alternatives for hot tubs. Now you can have a basic soaking tub without pumps, chemicals, or high maintenance. We recommend the optional Chofu filter system for those people that want cleaner water without having to frequently drain the tub

Note: When purchasing the Base Hot Tub, all plumbing and electrical components are exposed. You are expected to custom build the skirting, covers, stairs and railing. (see images below) By purchasing the Deluxe Package you are getting a complete package that, when assembled, needs nothing else except you in the hot tub!  Also, by purchasing the Deluxe Package, you know that the cedar comes from one source and will closely match in color and texture. (cedar can vary in color and texture from one region to another) The Base Tub is suitable for integration into a deck or for a the "do-it-yourself" person that wants to customize the surrounding of the hot tub. Also, both the Base Hot Tub and the Base + Deluxe Package includes a pre-assembled skid pack that includes the pre-plumbing and wiring of the pump, filter, and heater on a plastic skid plate. This makes assembly for you much easier!

  Additional Information

  • All our stave come from the factory at 47" however we can make the tubs shorter at no additional charge should a customer request. Total height of the hot tub is 48" off the ground.

  • Electrical Service applies to electric heated systems with 5.5KW heater and 1-3 HP pump. Gas systems can be configured to run on 120 VAC 15A GFD. Chofu systems do not need any electrical requirements unless a filter system is used.

  • All electric systems come in either Canadian/US (230VAC/60Hz) and European (220VAC/50Hz) supplies and codes. The customer is responsible for the electrical hookup (usually 30A or 40A 2P GFI) This will require an electrical contractor which should be budgeted into the overall cost. You will also have to budget for creating a flat foundation to place the tub on.
