Originated from Japan, Ofuro tubs are traditional soaking tubs used generally as a spiritual ritual instead of just a bath. This traditional bathing practice is different from the North American and European bath tubs. These Japanese hot tubs are capable of providing you with sensual pleasure, well being and harmony being connected to the natural surroundings.
The Ofuro hot tubs are ideal to use in a garden or a spiritual landscape. They are known to restore mental and spiritual health by providing enormous private space for relaxation. In fact, you will see amazing improvement in your health as they help in stimulating circulation.
How Do You Enjoy this Traditional Bath Practice?
This Japanese soaking tub is intended to do much more than just getting oneself clean and tidy. After you’re done with daily chores, you should be lathered, scrubbed and rinsed thoroughly before entering the hot tub.
As soon as your body is clean, you step into the tub and start sinking slowly into the deep, pure and clean hot water. Soaking yourself submerged to the chin makes you feel relaxed and contemplate. Generally, shampoos and soaps are not used as mineral salts and light fragrant oils are the main add-ons for Japanese hot tubs.
The Available Options of Ofuro Hot Tubs –
Northern Lights Cedar Tubs is the premier manufacturer of Ofuro tubs, which specializes in providing two different styles to choose from. One of them is oval – ideal to use for two persons whereas other one is round version.
All of their hot tubs have interior height of 25” and exterior height of 30”. This stands out as the ideal depth to deliver a complete body soak while allowing you to make the most out of visual surroundings. You can install these tubs indoors. Though there is no liner, it’s highly suggested to install properly tiled floor drains or a shower basin. Most people like to enjoy very hot Japanese baths; so you should consider proper ventilation. However, garden or deck hot tub settings need very little consideration rather than other heating processes.
You can choose two main stream heating options like traditional wood fired heater and electric hot tub heating kit. Feel free to ask the sauna supplier if you want to use a propane heater. The electric hot tub heater is available with a quiet circulating pump, a 50sq. ft. filter, and 1.4/5.5kW. If you want to avoid changing water frequently and freezing pipes during winter, this heater becomes handy.
The wood heated kit comes with small Timberline wood burning heater. This allows the hot tub to be heated even if there’s no electricity available. When the grid power is available, the system can upgrade further.
No matter whatever type of heating you opt for, you will keep the water warm without focusing on the fire constantly. All of Ofuro tubs are available fully assembled with standard center-positioned stainless steel drain that connects to one and half inch PVC drain pipe. You can have additional accessories like matching stairs, shelf, back rests and insulated covers with child-proof locks.
