Do not allow children access to the stove when in use and
NEVER
leave children unattended in or
around the tub whilst it is in use.
Do not add chemicals to the water, it is unnecessary and may damage the wood or the stove.
For safety, avoid bathing alone.
Choosing a site for your tub
The tub, unfilled weighs around 300kgs. A filled tub is very much heavier. Do not attempt to lift the
tub by yourself.
A flat level site, preferably concrete or hardstanding should be prepared prior to installing your tub.
Due to the filled weight of the tub, soft ground must be avoided however if the ground is firm
sleepers can be used as a minimum to spread the weight.
Choose a site with access to water and clear of any buildings or obstructions (e.g. trees) that may
create a downdraft or interfere with the chimney draw. If in doubt check you plans with a stove
specialist.
Do not position the tub near flammable materials or structures.
Site the tub in a position which will allow the water to drain away effectively. A hose attachment is
fitted, so that water can be directed into a drain or re-used to water plants.
Installation
Under normal circumstances the tub will arrive fully constructed. Access to the site you have chosen
must be considered. The diameter of the tub is 1.6m and it is approximately 300kgs in weight.
Four or five men together can lift the tub and carry it into position it can also be manoeuvred once
on the ground by lifting one edge and turning the tub.
The stove is fitted to the tub during construction so once in position is important that the stove and
the tub are at the same level relative to one another i.e. if the tub sits off the ground (for example
on sleepers) then provision must also be made the raise the stove to the same height. It is crucial
that the upper (hot) hose rises upwards from the stove to the tub otherwise the system will not
operate correctly.
The chimney is modular, the parts simply push fit into one another and into the collar on the stove.
Once tub and stove are in position, the hoses can be fitted to the inlet and secured using jubilee clips
to complete the installation
The stove is equipped with a temperature gauge to display the temperature of the water-jacket and
a pressure relief valve which will activate should any pressure build up in the stove.
