Product Description
An internal stove in a round fibreglass tub
The TimberIN Nordic™ Snorkel Compact hot tub places the wood stove inside the tub behind its protective fence. The arrangement reduces the need for separate heating equipment beside the shell, while using part of the bathing space. It is the larger of the two similarly named Snorkel models: do not confuse it with Nordic Compact Snorkel, which has a 1,550 mm internal diameter. For other sizes and heater layouts, see all 4 person hot tubs.

Capacity is a manufacturer guide rather than a guarantee of equal comfort for every adult group. Dimensions are approximate for this handmade product; use the accepted final drawing for access and base design.
Three heatings, all with the internal snorkel stove
Every Snorkel Compact has the internal AISI 316 wood-fired snorkel stove. Choose one of three heatings:
- Internal wood-fired stove – the base price.
- Hybrid: internal wood stove + 6 kW electric heater (WiFi-ready – WiFi module available as an add-on) – heat up with wood, then keep the temperature with electricity. The 6 kW heater runs on 220 V single phase (26 A) or 380 V three phases (14 A); a more powerful 9, 12 or 15 kW three-phase heater is available.
- Hybrid: internal wood stove + 5 kW Wi-Fi heat pump – heat up with wood; the heat pump keeps the temperature and can also cool the water in summer. The sand filter is required with the heat pump and is added automatically.
For the electric hybrid, a qualified electrician should confirm the supply and wiring. No fixed heating time is specified: starting water temperature, weather, cover use and operating conditions all affect warm-up.
Six claddings and six shell colours
The UK cladding choices are spruce, larch, Thermowood, oak, and WPC (wood-plastic composite) in black or brown. Choose white RAL 9001, blue RAL 5012 or grey RAL 7015, or the premium blue pearl 7700, grey pearl 7730 or granite 9001 finishes at the supplements shown. Timber grain and colour vary naturally.
Included equipment, covers and insulation
The included-equipment group lists a wooden heater fence with drinks holder and a mixing paddle. Stairs are chosen separately: a basic 3-stage ladder (£40), or B type (£60), A type (£190) or C type (£290) stairs. Confirm the equipment in the accepted order; photographs may show selected extras.
Choose an insulated leather cover or the wooden round edge and wooden lid. The wooden edge and lid are available with spruce or Thermowood cladding only; with larch, oak or WPC, choose the leather cover. Wall and bottom insulation is a zero-price choice in the UK group, and should be confirmed in the final configuration.
Spa equipment and controls
Massage and lighting
Air massage, hydromassage and two or four LEDs, or both sets, are selectable. Exact jet layouts and lighting modes depend on the supplied equipment.
Filtration
The UK option is a sand filter with a wooden box; it is required with the heat-pump hybrid and is added automatically. Confirm the actual pump and connections. There is no UV selection on this product, even if older illustrations show one.
Smart SPA
Wi-Fi control modules cover air massage, water massage, filtration and electric heating. The corresponding equipment must also be selected.
Stove accessories
An ash shovel, chimney guard and heater cover are separately available. Confirm the final compatible set.
Base and delivery access
Use a stable, level base designed for the filled tub, users and equipment. Leave working space for steps, the cover, filtration and stove operation.
For emptying, the UK selector lists an optional external water tap, or a tap with a quick adapter for a garden hose (12.5 mm and 15 mm). Confirm the exact supplied fittings and discharge route.
Indicative main package dimensions are 2,100 × 1,220 × 2,200 mm. Stairs, if ordered, are packed separately; the type B stairs measure approximately 1,000 × 800 × 900 mm. Confirm the final packing orientation, overall transport size and assembly requirements before planning access.
Confirm the delivery address, vehicle access, unloading arrangements and movement to the final base before ordering. The UK selector has no separate driver-unloading option; do not assume delivery includes final positioning.
Care and warranty
Care for exterior timber with suitable oil at least annually, adjusted to its finish and exposure. Follow the supplied water, filter and heater instructions, including frost protection. The FR source states a 24-month warranty subject to the applicable conditions. Inspect delivery and record transport damage promptly.

We are so happy with our hot tub! We took delivery of it around a month ago, and we loved it from the minute it arrived – more beautiful than we expected. We love the colour, the wood smells gorgeous, and it looks perfect. We are gradually learning how to manage the temperature with the wood stoked fire, but that’s part of the fun, how it is so natural.
The communication from the day of order to day of delivery was top-notch. Whenever I made contact with you, your reply was almost immediate.
Your driver was polite and on time (even early!) And helped us place the tub ready for unpacking.
Overall super service – a real treat for us to enjoy and would highly recommend. *****
Thank you, we received the device that prevents the tub from freezing in de winter in good condition.
We have used the hottub every weekend and we love it, the third button is places so the bubbles are working to.
Below some pictures
Because of the pandemic we still have not managed to complete the decking/privacy shelter but the temptation to jump in before it is complete was too great!!
Many thanks
