The outside of the hot tub
The outside of the hot tub does not
require any complicated maintenance.
If necessary, it can be painted with a
linseed oil mixture, with or without
pigment, consisting of one part
linseed oil and two parts turpentine.
This should be done once a year. Sun
is probably the most damaging factor.
Therefore you should, if possible,
rotate the hot tub half a turn after a
couple of years.
The inside of the hot tub
The inside of the hot tub, the wood
heated stove and the stove guard
should not be painted. Clean the hot
tub with water and soft soap after
each time it has been used. You can
also add some bleach.
The stove
Remove ashes from the stove
regularly. Wait until the stove has
cooled. Remove the baffle plate
and the grating. Use a long-handled
dustpan to scrape the ashes out of the
stove. Alternatively, unscrew the stove,
lift it out, and turn it upside-down.
Regularly check the condition of
the chimney. Sometimes, it may need
to be replaced depending on the
environment in which the outdoor hot
tub is placed.
Maintenance
Other maintenance
Summer: Store the hot tub filled with
water.
Autumn: Empty it before the water
freezes, remove the plastic pipes, and
cover it with a tarpaulin.
Winter: Fill the hot tub with snow, if
there is any. Leave the outlet open.
Spring: Fill the hot tub with water when
the spring sun begins to warm.
TIP: When you have finished bathing,
add some chlorine (of the same type
as is used for swimming pools) to the
water. This prevents algal growth and,
to some extent, protects the wood
from rot.
