The Carbo III is a premium wood-fired hot tub designed and manufactured in South Africa. It combines durable construction, quality materials and timeless design to provide an authentic outdoor bathing experience without the need for electricity to heat the water.

Water is heated using a high-quality marine-grade stainless steel wood-fired stove. Simply light the fire, allow the water to reach your preferred temperature and enjoy the natural warmth and atmosphere of a real wood fire.

No. The wood-fired heating system operates without electricity, making it ideal for remote locations, holiday homes and off-grid properties.

The Carbo III comfortably accommodates 4–6 adults, depending on seating preferences. Its spacious design makes it ideal for families, couples and small groups looking to enjoy a relaxing outdoor experience together.

On average, it takes approximately 1.5 hours to heat the water to a comfortable bathing temperature. Heating time may vary depending on the initial water temperature, the amount and type of firewood used, outdoor conditions and your preferred water temperature.

Dry, seasoned wood that produces a good, consistent flame is recommended for the best heating performance. Avoid using wet, green, treated or painted wood, as these burn less efficiently and may produce excessive smoke or residue.

Once the fire is established, additional wood can be added as needed to maintain the desired water temperature.

Carbo III manufactures and supplies the hot tubs but does not provide installation services. If required, we can provide installation guidance and supporting documentation to assist your installer.
