Frequently asked questions
Each Fire Bath comes equipped with a convenient 20mm screw plug positioned on the lower side wall, facilitating easy drainage. To drain the water, simply remove the plug and let gravity take care of the rest. Alternatively, you have the option to use an expandable washing machine/dishwasher drain hose, available at stores like Bunnings, to direct the water away from the Bath area and towards your garden or preferred location.
When it comes to the 4-foot Fire Bath, it can hold up to an impressive 386 liters of water, while its bigger sibling, the 5-foot Tub, boasts an even more massive fill capacity of nearly 550 liters!
Now, the real fun begins with how you like to position yourself. Some people prefer to compress, with their arms folded, knees bent, and huddled in towards their chest, while others love to stretch out like a starfish, with arms by their side and legs fully extended. Just imagine the steamy bliss!
Now, here's the exciting part—if you're 6 feet tall or even taller, you might find your sprawling abilities slightly limited in the 4-footer. But fret not! Both options will still let you fully immerse yourself and enjoy all the fantastic benefits an Fire Bath has to offer. Unless you happen to be taller than 6'5 (in which case, we've got you covered with the 5-footer recommendation), rest assured that all sizes will deliver those amazing results we've highlighted.

You'll require approximately 0.3-0.4 cubic meters of firewood to heat the bath to 38 degrees Celsius. It takes about 1.5 hours for a 4-Foot Bath and 2 hours for our 5-Foot Bath to reach this temperature. Once you've hit the desired heat, cease adding wood—the Bath will maintain this temperature thanks to the smoldering embers, ensuring a stable warmth.
Imagine your spa as a big soup pot and the coil as a magical noodle straw inside it! When the noodle straw (coil) hangs out near something hot like a campfire (heat source), it slurps up the warmth and gets toasty. Just like how steam rises from a hot soup, the warm water in the coil goes "wee, I'm lighter!" and zooms up through the noodle straw. This leaves space for the cooler spa water to dash into the warm noodle straw, getting cozy and hot on its own. It's like a never-ending dance party where warm water goes up, cool water hops in, gets hot, and joins the rising warm-water disco! No need for a pump—the dance keeps going as long as there's heat to keep the noodle straw warm and the party poppin'!
