Before you begin Before you begin to assemble the hot tub, it’s important to ensure that the site you have chosen is level and stable. The polar hot tub must rest on firm ground and be level with no risk of settling or shifting when the tub is fully filled.
Tips on placing the foundations 1. Dig down and remove the top layer of the lawn or ground. 2. Add a supporting layer of macadam or gravel before placing the concrete blocks. Diameter approx. 1950 mm. 3. Make sure the foundations are stable and level. 4.

Process 1. Unscrew the support boards from the package. 2. Carefully cut away the plastic on the underside with a knife and remove all loose parts from the hot tub. 3. The hot tub contains all the parts for the chimney as well as a spigot and details for the fireplace.
Connecting the hoses Polar hot tubs with prepared couplings have 4 holes that you can see from the inside of the Polar hot tub. • 2 of the holes are for the water flow produced when you light a fire in the Polar hot tub’s fire chamber. Water from the bottom of the tub is directed into the lower hole and circulates around the stove’s hearth in the double-encased cavity, and the piping hot water flows from the upper hole.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 In the space between the fibreglass and the fire chamber, there are 2 pre-assembled connectors (see fig. 1). Unscrew the protective cover (see fig. 2) and fasten the supplied connectors for attaching the hose (fig. 3). Fit the inflow to the pool in the lower hole and the outflow in the upper hole.
Placement and assembly Carefully place the Polar hot tub on the concrete blocks, using a layer of water resistant ground sheet between the blocks and the tub’s wooden supports to prevent moisture migrating into the tub from the ground. Dimension of the emptying tap 25 mm. Process for assembly of other parts 1.
The accompanying set of steps The stairs will enable both the pump and filter system to fit inside it. • When you attach the hose to the pump and filter system, measure so that the hose reaches to where you intend to place the pump filter unit.
Accessories Insulating lids Insulating lids are available as an optional extra for the Polar hot tubs Royal and Royal Grande and can be easily secured in place by following the instructions. There are no optional extra covers for the Polar hot tub Original.
Installing the Pump and filter system Clear installation instructions for the pump and filter system can be found in the manuals available on the Polhus website. • Pump and Filter System Manual • Assembly film for the Pump and Filter System You can use the pump and filter system whilst the fire chamber is lit.
The pump and filter system also includes: • A Fibalon Pool Filter that is used in the filter system and replaces the sand that was previously used for pool cleaning. The fibalon can be removed and cleaned in a washing machine. This is an environ- mentally friendly solution and is easier to maintain than sand.
Heating Dry hardwood offers the best results with combustion. Royal is highly efficient and the water reaches 37 degrees within about 2 hours. This will vary depending on the temperature of the water and sur- rounding air. Use the insulated lid (optional extra) when heating to improve efficiency.
It is important to use the correct amount, and there is no need to over-chlorinate. Never chlorinate when the water is hot as this will prevent the chlorine from working. Polhus will not compensate for damage caused by over-use of chlorine.
Firing tips NOTE! Never start firing before the barrel is filled with water up to 150 mm from the rim. • Make a fire of dry, finely cut wood in the oven. • Spray the wood with methylated spirits or use a lighter block. Do not use paper for ignition, it tends to generate flakes and soot to a greater extent.
