Warming Up in a Hot Tub in the Mountains at Chalet Rösi
Even as young boys, Mathias Büschlen and his three brothers found a sense of freedom, simplicity and family in this old wooden house in the Swiss mountains. For many years, it was under the care of their great-aunt Rösi. Keeping the house in the family was always a given, so it was passed down to her niece, and then inherited by the four brothers in 2020. As part of their plan to modernise the property, they spruced it up with a wood-fired hot tub in 2022.

Enjoy Your Hot Tub Water for Several Weeks
Most customers use the hot tub like a bathtub: fill it before each use and then empty it. Some decide to leave the water in the hot tub for several weeks, in which case it should be fitted with a filtration system. How can water quality be maintained for that long? Antibacterial agents and a cover should be used in combination with the filter at temperatures above freezing. There are also a few steps that must be followed.

Like Taking a Bath
Your wood-fired hot tub is finally sitting in your garden, bringing with it the promise many relaxing hours. The basic concept is simple yet unique: fire it up, jump in and relax, all without any technical bells and whistles. Electricity isn’t required, so it’s not surprising that many customers use the hot tub in the same way they would take a bath in their home. It is filled with fresh water and drained the following day, an approach that is becoming more and more popular thanks to its many advantages.

Heating Up Bathing Water with a Wood Stove
The special thing about a wood-fired hot tub is not only the bathing experience itself, but also the way it is warmed up. Instead of just pressing a button, the water is brought up to temperature thanks to a wood-fired stove. But what is the best way to go about the heating process?
