Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Tickle Tub unique?
Tickle Tub is a proudly South African, fire-driven hot tub that combines eco-friendly luxury with off-grid relaxation. Our tubs are made from recycled materials and use an innovative heating system that doesn’t require electricity.
How do I heat my Tickle Tub?
Heat your Tickle Tub by making a fire in the stainless steel fire coils attached to the side. As the coils heat up, hot water rises through the spirals, circulating warm water into the tub.
How long does it take to heat up a Tickle Tub?
Heating time for a Tickle Tub typically takes around 1.5 hours, depending on factors such as the initial water temperature, ambient temperature, and the intensity of the fire. To optimize heating time, use dry, well-split logs and maintain a strong fire throughout the heating process.
What type of fuel should I use in my Tickle Tub?
For optimal performance, use dry, well-seasoned hardwood logs in your Tickle Tub. Avoid using softwoods, as they can produce excessive smoke and burn too quickly. Never use coal or treated wood, as these can damage the stove and produce harmful emissions.
Is the Tickle Tub safe to use?
Yes, Tickle Tubs are safe when used according to instructions. Our fire-driven hot tubs are designed with safety in mind, featuring a stainless steel heating coil that keeps the fire separate from the water. Always follow the provided safety guidelines, including maintaining proper water temperature and ensuring adequate ventilation for the fire.
What are the dimensions of a Tickle Tub?
We offer two heights: Standard (880mm) and Shorty (750mm). Both have an outer rim diameter of 1800mm and an inner rim diameter of 1600mm.
How many people can a Tickle Tub accommodate?
Our Tickle Tubs are perfect for couples, families, or up to four adults.
How do I maintain water quality in my Tickle Tub?
To maintain water quality, we recommend changing the water after each use for the most hygienic experience. For longer use periods, use a non-chlorine shock treatment weekly to prevent bacteria growth and maintain water clarity. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any water treatment products used.
How often should I clean my Tickle Tub?
Clean your Tickle Tub after each use by draining the water and wiping down the interior. For a more thorough cleaning, we recommend a deep clean every 3-4 uses, which includes scrubbing the tub’s interior and cleaning the stove and chimney. Regular maintenance will ensure your Tickle Tub remains in excellent condition for years to come.

Yes, we offer ripstop canvas covers, flame diffusers, and ash drip trays. We also provide branding options for personalization.
