- The hot tub must be placed on an even surface that can withstand its full weight. (ca. 2,000 kg)
- The hot tub can be set on a bed of crushed stone, or on a concrete base. It can also be installed or embedded in a terrace.
- In choosing the spot for your hot tub, remember to consider where you’ll drain the water. It is possible to direct the water flow elsewhere with a hose.
- The drainage valve is on the heater side of the tub, and fits hoses with a 25-mm inner diameter.
- Keep the pool covered (sold separately), and maintain good hygiene by washing and drying the pool regularly.
- Use pool chemicals if you want to extend the water replacement interval.
- If you use pool chemicals, keep the water’s pH within the set limits, i.e. 7.0–7.6.
Our maintenance network covers the whole of the UK. We have highly qualified technicians and spare parts readily available all around the nation. All Rexener hot tub spare parts are available at our warehouse in Finland.
Water must not be allowed to freeze inside the hot tub/stove. We therefore recommend our Rexener Aurora, Rexener Polar or Rexener Unnukka hot tubs for year-round usage, as their water heaters allow you to keep water from freezing at all times. No parts in the hot tub are damaged by sub-zero temperatures.
The hot tub is square shaped, which makes it easy to embed.
Thanks to its modern design, heat losses are minimised, and the hot tub can heat at a rate of up to 15 degrees per hour* when it is full.
*Requires cover.
Rexener hot tubs have a water volume of 1,500 litres. You can choose to fill the tub with 1,300–1,500 litres depending on your intended use and the number of bathers.
The hot tub is easy to use. Heat the stove, wait for the water to heat, and climb into the blissfully warm water. Heating with a wood stove may take some practice to maintain the water at the temperature you want. 35–40 degrees is the most popular temperature range. If wood heating feels like a challenge, we recommend instead our Rexener Aurora or Rexener Polar hot tub, which come with our advanced Rexener PR200 water heater with thermostat control.
No. Rexener PR200 water heater should not be used with seawater as it can cause problems due to the high salinity and the warranty does not cover any damage that may occur.
It is strictly forbidden to use pool salt, for example to clean the pool. Pool salt can’t be added to water heated by Rexener PR200 water heaters.
- Rexener Aurora and Polar hot tubs can be used in the winter. However, do not allow water to freeze inside the water heater/hot tub/water circulation pump. If you wish, you can keep enough water warm so that it can’t freeze, which means you do not need to drain the device. If the heater is not in use (or the hot tub is otherwise kept warm), the device must be drained before temperatures drop below zero.
- The fuel will keep in its tank, which means you do not need to drain the fuel tank even in freezing temperatures. We recommend replacing the fuel if it has remained unused for a long time.
- Please note! Make sure you use winterised fuel when using the heater in freezing temperatures.
Yes! Rexener PR200 functions perfectly with Neste MY and Aspen fuels, among others.
- Water volume in the hot tub: 1,500 L
- Heating time (+7 -> +38 °C) roughly 2 hours, one hour of which is filling up the pool
- Heating cost ca. €4
When the Rexener PR200 is running, its fuel consumption is 2L/hour. However, its thermostat will turn the heater off when the water reaches the right temperature. When the water temperature falls by 2–4 degrees, the heater will turn itself back on. This helps to minimise its fuel use.
You can lower the temperature to +10 degrees if the hot tub is not in constant active use. This can also help to save energy.
560 gr is the minimum (corresponds to about 20 kg of sand), therefore a whole box is included (700 gr corresponds to about 25 kg of sand). So it is ok to fill the container with 700 gr, but 560 gr (4/5 of the box) is minimal.
– Before passing through the Rexener Bioheater, water passes through a UVC device with a UV light.
– UV light is for clarifying water.
– UV light prevents the formation of algae and reduces potential pathogens in the water.
– UV light is based on ultraviolet radiation, which causes changes in both animal and plant cells.
– UV light clarifies the pool water and minimizes the need for chemical disinfection.
– UV light can also reduce chlorine odor.
– When the power cord for UV light is plugged in, the UV light turns on.
– Always turn off the UV light to avoid overheating when there is no water flowing through the UVC device.
– The UV device stays in good condition when you remember to clean the protective glass of the UV light 2-3 times a year.
– The effective life of the UV lamp is about 4,000 hours. We recommend replacing the lamp once a year.
Unnukka
- The hot tub should be placed on a flat surface that can support the full weight of the pool. (approx. 2000kg)
- The barrel can be primed with crushed stone or alternatively the base can be cast in concrete. Can also be installed or embedded in the terrace.
- When choosing a place for the hot tub, also consider the issues related to draining the water and, if necessary, the water can be led to the side with a hose.
- The drain valve is located on the opposite side of the heater from the barrel and fits a 38mm inner hose.
- Keep the pool covered with a cover (sold separately) and otherwise take care of cleanliness and hygiene by washing and drying the pool regularly. Our selection includes an insulation cover and a plastic cover.
- By using pool chemicals, You can extend the water change interval.
When using pool chemicals, the pH value must remain within the given limits, i.e. 7.0-7.6 - If You are not sure what pool chemicals You need, we have handy starter kits. Chlorine-based and Oxygen-based starter kits.
EXAMPLE OF CONSUMPTION
Amount of water: 1500L
Heating time (+7 -> + 38C) about 2 hours, of which about 1 hour of water filling
Heating costs approx. 4 €
When the Rexener PR200 is running, it consumes 2l/h. However, the thermostat will turn off the burner when the desired temperature is reached. The burner goes back on when the temperature drops 2-4 degrees. In this way, consumption can be minimized.
If You wish, You can even lower the temperature to +10 degrees if You do not use the hot tub/swimming pool continuously. This saves energy.
No. Rexener PR200 water heater should not be used with seawater as it can cause problems due to the high salinity and the warranty does not cover any damage that may occur.
It is strictly forbidden to use pool salt, for example to clean the pool. Pool salt can’t be added to water heated by Rexener PR200 water heaters.
Yes, You can! Rexener works well with biodiesel.
Our servicecar covers the whole UK. In addition to our professional installer, the car is constantly equipped with a comprehensive range of spare parts. All Rexener PR200 heater spare parts can be found in our warehouse in Finland.
It is not necessary to move the heater indoors in winter, especially if it is in use. If the heater is drained of water, it can also be stored outdoors. Of course, it is always better to keep the device in a warm, sheltered place when not in use.
Water must not freeze inside the heater. If You wish, You can keep the water warm that it does not freeze otherwise You need to drain the water away.
The fuel remains in a weatherproof tank, so you don’t need to empty the tank even in frost. It is always advisable to change the fuel if the fuel stands for a longer period of time.
In the frost, make sure that the heater uses winter grade fuel.
