Compact wood heat with the stove inside the tub \u00b7 Made-to-order outdoor hot tub<\/p>\n

TimberIN Nordic Compact\u2122 Snorkel: a smaller-group model built around snorkel heating<\/h2>\n

\n<\/header>\n

\n

A self-contained outline for intimate bathing<\/h2>\n

Keeping the heater in the water creates a compact installation and avoids exposed connecting pipework between tub and stove. It is a practical arrangement for a sheltered terrace or smaller garden, provided the loss of some internal room is accepted. The protective guard and chimney become visible parts of the bathing environment and must remain safely positioned. A hybrid configuration adds electrical support to the wood fire, which may suit frequent users, but it requires correctly specified controls and supply rather than a casual outdoor socket.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

A true 3\u20134-person shell with a known 1,200-litre load<\/h2>\n

Nordic Compact Snorkel has a more tightly defined brief than the larger Wellness Basic product. Its technical sheet sets out 1,550 mm internal diameter, 1,200 litres and 3\u20134 bathers. The 1,770 mm external diameter remains manageable for many gardens, but the 960 mm water-side height and 150 kg dry shell still demand proper access and a filled-load foundation. Capacity should be judged after allowing for the snorkel heater and guard.<\/p>\n

The choice is simple: pure snorkel heat or hybrid support<\/h2>\n

Choose the AISI 316 snorkel-only build when compact wood-fired use and minimal external equipment are the point of the model. Choose hybrid when regular schedules, holding temperature or frost management justify an electrical circuit as well as the fire. Hybrid adds convenience but not simplicity. Spruce keeps the exterior light and traditional; Thermowood darkens and stabilises the look; larch and oak add density and cost. None of those timbers changes the 1,200-litre water-side specification.<\/p>\n

Compact does not mean maintenance-free<\/h2>\n

The included wooden lid, A-type stairs, paddle and heater-side fence create a usable base package. Wall and bottom insulation make sense for a small shell because they protect the advantage of lower water volume. Air massage is the lighter spa addition; hydromassage adds stronger jets and more plumbing. Filtration helps retain water between sessions, while two LEDs are usually proportionate and four give a brighter effect. A heater lid and chimney guard improve separation but do not remove the need for close supervision.<\/p>\n

\n

What the current configurator identifies as included<\/h3>\n

Already included:<\/strong> (1) "A" type wooden stairs; (2) Wooden fence \u2013 drink holder in front of the heater; (3) Wooden paddle (4) Wooden lid and wooden round sil<\/p>\n

Included equipment is valuable because it establishes a usable baseline. Displayed builds may contain additional systems, so the accepted quotation should repeat every included item.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Insulation<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Wall insulation<\/li>\n
  • Bottom insulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Advantages:<\/strong> Wall and bottom insulation reduce heat loss from the water vessel and are particularly useful for frequent use, exposed sites and electric temperature holding.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

    \n

    SPA<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Air bubble massage system<\/li>\n
    • Hydro massage system<\/li>\n
    • Sand filtration system with big wooden cover box<\/li>\n
    • 2 LED<\/li>\n
    • 4 LED (Recommended for 180 – 220 cm models)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Advantages:<\/strong> Air massage gives a gentle whole-tub effect, hydromassage provides firmer targeted jets, filtration supports retained-water use and LEDs improve evening visibility and atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

      \n

      Smart SPA equipment add-ons (WiFi signal required)<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Smart app \u2013 voice controlled system kit for air massage<\/li>\n
      • Smart app \u2013 voice controlled system kit for water massage system<\/li>\n
      • Smart app \u2013 voice controlled system kit for sand filter<\/li>\n
      • Smart app \u2013 voice controlled system kit for electric heater (enables scheduled control, ON\/OFF)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Advantages:<\/strong> App control can schedule electric support and make filtration, air massage or hydromassage easier to prepare before a planned soak, with separate control applied only to the systems selected.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

        \n

        Inside color<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • White (RAL 9001)<\/li>\n
        • Blue (RAL 5012)<\/li>\n
        • Gray (RAL 7015)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Advantages:<\/strong> Liner colour lets the visible bathing shell coordinate with the garden and can make the water appear lighter, deeper or more neutral without changing the tub geometry.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

          \n

          Metal parts<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Ash shovel and rake<\/li>\n
          • Metal fence on the chimney (heat protection)<\/li>\n
          • Stainless steel cover on the heater<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Advantages:<\/strong> A chimney guard reduces accidental contact risk, a heater lid controls access around the firebox, and dedicated metal tools make ash handling and routine stove care more orderly.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

            \n

            Water release type<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Bottom water drain with a stopper (included)<\/li>\n
            • External water tap<\/li>\n
            • External water tap + Quick adapter for garden hose set (12.5mm & 15mm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Advantages:<\/strong> An external tap gives better control over discharge, while the quick hose adaptor helps route water away from foundations, neighbours and soft landscaping.<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

              \n

              A lower-volume wood-fired routine<\/h2>\n

              At about 1,200 litres, Nordic Compact has less thermal mass than most family tubs, but its sheet still gives no guaranteed number of hours. TimberIN\u2019s general manual describes about 8\u00b0C per hour for a 2,000-litre example and a broad 2\u20133 hours in warm or 4\u20136 hours in cold conditions. Use dry fuel, keep the cover on, maintain the heater\u2019s required water level and never drain while metalwork is hot. The hybrid option can support holding, but its real rate depends on the selected electric output.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

              \n

              Measure comfort after allowing for the heater<\/h2>\n

              Consider the body sizes and number of people who will use the tub most often, then view the selected diameter as a complete interior that includes the heater and guard. Position the firebox for safe loading from outside and keep the chimney away from roofs, branches and guest circulation. Confirm access for delivery, the filled base load, a controlled drainage route and space to remove ash or service equipment. If hybrid heating is selected, coordinate the electrical work with the final control specification before the tub arrives.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
