About our Hikki Hot Tubs

Hikki hot tub with waffle towel

Hikki Hot tubs are the outdoor bathtubs for those who value original design in materials that are as durable as they are beautiful. Made with oak and aluminium they make for a pure, authentic, wood-fired bathing experience.

The tub is made of saltwater resistant aluminium and has a comfortable interior in oak. We love the simple design and have one for the Cottage and one for the Stables.

FAQ
Does the metal get so hot that you risk burning yourself?
No, no danger. The metal in the bathtub never gets hotter than the water. The stove pipe, on the other hand, gets hot, so we have equipped it with a heat protection.

How long does it take to heat up and how much wood is needed?
About 1,5 hours in summer and 2,5 in winter. Shorter with the black insulation sheet floating in water

If you start with a water temperature of about 8 degrees it takes around 80-90 minutes. That’s from spring to autumn. Winter time from 4-degree water takes about 120 – 140 minutes. It is good to use the insulation to shorten the heating time.

We have bathed when it has been-20 degrees without any problems, but you should wear a hat.

You need around 30 liters (10 kg) of firewood for a bath during the warmer season, a sack of firewood of the kind you find out in the shops. Wood from hardwood works best, preferably high quality dry birch wood.

How to get the right temperature in the water?
Stir in the water at regular intervals while heating the tub. Stop fire when you have reached about 36 degrees and keep the fire at a level that maintains the heat. If it gets too hot, you can close the air supply to the stove. A comfortable bathing temperature is about 40 degrees. It’s a good idea to use the stick for Bohemen when stirring the tub.

How do I empty the water after bathing?
You can let the water out by turning the little balck tap on the outflow .
