You can't get into the pool ... It's very simple! In the cold season, a special font can be installed in the local area.... This is a structure that is filled with water, and an oven is used to heat it.

If someone does not know what it is, then this article is for you. Also here you can find all the necessary information on how to heat water in a font and which stove to use.

The hot tub is used directly for heating the water. Its construction consists of:

• heat exchanger;
• hulls;
• furnace door;
• blower door.

The principle of operation of the unit is quite simple:

• fuel is placed in the furnace;
• in the process of combustion, the wood begins to heat the water, which is in the heat exchanger pipe;
• the water begins to circulate and, already heated, enters the font.

The stove is an integral part of the hot tub. It has a lot of advantages and features, among which it is worth noting:

• ensuring maximum comfort for taking water procedures;

• Internal... The submersible hot water furnace is located inside the structure. Such a stove is not in demand, since it takes up space inside the font and is inconvenient to maintain. Among the advantages, it is worth noting unless the cost.

For the manufacture of heating devices, reliable, high-quality materials are used that have excellent thermal conductivity, fire resistance, strength and long service life. These include cast iron and steel... These materials are quite similar in technical parameters.

A lot depends on this. For example, the cost of buying it. Each fuel is characterized by a specific temperature and burning time. There are furnace models on the market that work:

• on the wood;
• on gas;
• from electricity;
• on liquid fuel.
