A natural feature of cedar is the varying colours, grains, and textures. Splits and cracks may develop as it responds to the environment, these are not to be considered a fault or flaw and will not compromise the construction of any Stoked product.

It is advised to oil your cedar at least once a year, depending on how dry the environment is.

For example, in dry climates oiling twice a year (every six months) would be our recommendation.

Most woods are okay, such as Pine, Macrocarpa, Oregon and Blue Gum. Avoid hardwood with very high BTU ratings such as Teatree, Kanuka and Manuka, as they will burn too hot, meaning will be less efficient while using more wood to heat your water.

Wood Fired Products

Our wood-fired products are specifically designed for freshwater use. To ensure optimal performance, we recommend filling them with clean, fresh water every 2-3 days.

Electric Products

Keeping water in your spa at a constant temperature of around 38 degrees requires a sanitizer in the water. One important point is to shower before you get in the pool. This prevents day to day things like sunscreen, moisturizer and makeup deteriorating the water quality.

We recommend Aquaspa, which is a Chlorine and Bromine free sanitising system for spas and hot tubs. This delivers a healthy and gentle cleaning system.

This is available throughout Australia - Aquaspa Retailers

You only need 3 products from this range:

- Spa Sanitiser

When adding Sanitiser / Shock to the water:

Always ensure that the PUMP is running.

• Leave the COVER OFF for 30 minutes after adding AquaSpa.

• Add at 30 min intervales.

• Always ADD AquaSpa to water and NOT water to AquaSpa.

• NEVER use AquaSpa containing chlorine in the spa.

Filters

No matter what option you choose, it is important to clean your filter weekly.

Details to remove the filter are in the product's user manual, replacement filters are available from our website.

We recommend you buy a second filter and cycle the filters in the spa every week.

With the dirty filter, soak it overnight in a bucket of water with 2 cups of bleach or a recommended filter cleaner. Rinse it off the next day then leave it to dry.

Our freshwater products, heated by a wood burner, are designed to be emptied every 2-3 uses and can be left empty for any length of time.

Regarding Stoked Spas and electric products, we recommend you do not leave them empty for extended periods of times and instead leave them running in away mode, this way they will continue to filter the water, but heating is disabled. The reason for this is that we cannot guarantee when emptied all water will leave the pipework and there could be risk of freezing, resulting in pipework cracking.

Yes, you can use the linked adapter to attach a garden hose to your Stoked valve and use the water from our products for irrigation - https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/hansen-reducing-hex-nipple-40x20mm-black/p/282852

Simply turn the valve handle 90 degrees, if emptying an electric spa please be sure that it is turned off.

For cleaning of the steel we recommend diluting washing up liquid and wiping it down with a cloth.
For a deeper clean we recommend Barkeeper's friend, Scotch brite and some elbow grease.

It is advised to oil the cedar once a year, depending on how dry the environment is.

In the wood-fired hot tub and bathtub, essential oils are okay as they are designed for fresh water and will be emptied every 2-3 uses. Adding essential oils to our electric products is not recommended and they require a permanent water treatment solution, we recommend Simple Silver, and this is available to purchase from us directly.

First, get a new beer.

Don’t worry, these things can happen. If using our recommended water purification solution Simple Silver, simple leave the spa to filter the water as normal for 48 without getting in and it should clear itself up. If this should not suffice, we recommend alternative such as Oxy Shock, or a small amount of Chlorine – please be mindful when using products and follow the instructions closely based on the recommend amount for the water capacity of the spa.

Chlorine can be used within the parameters of the spa and it's water capacity.

Chlorine is often not compatible to mix with other water treatments.
The spa is made of 316 marine grade stainless.
316 grade stainless steel can handle up to 5 parts per million chlorine concentration. If it gets above this, it can start corroding the stainless because the protective chromium oxide layer can be compromised.
The spas water should be kept around 3 ppm chlorine, while ensuring the PH is about 7.5sed, but it is very important you stay within the parameters of the test strips regarding the concentration levels.

On rare occasions, superficial rust like marks may appear on the surface of the internal parts of the spa. Usually on the seat.
This is the result of a small foreign object(s) entering the spa.
This could be from any source such as something blowen into the spa, or something coming off bathers when entering the spa.
We have previously seen part of a hairclip rusting in one of our spas.
The spa is made of 316 marine grade stainless. The appearance of rust spots is not the spa, but the foreign object corroding because it is an inferior metal.
in 95% of cases, the rust mark can be removed by using a green Scotch brite pad and rubbing gentle in a circular motion.

All electrical stoked products come with an insulated, ratchet strap, lockable cover. Lockable with a padlock.

Testing the PH level of any spa is important and when using water purification solutions or chemicals it’s imperative you follow the instructions outlined. For example – with simple silver (our recommendation) once you add the silver tablet to the spa you must leave it for ten days before using the spa.

All electrical products at Stoked Stainless are made from 316 marine-grade steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion in marine environments. Freshwater products, on the other hand, are crafted from 306 grade steel and are designed to be emptied every 2-3 uses for optimal maintenance.

Additionally, all Stoked Stainless products are elegantly clad in Western Red Cedar sourced from British Columbia, Canada, enhancing their aesthetic appeal and natural beauty.

Stoked products are meticulously designed to provide a lifetime of relaxation and enjoyment. As a natural characteristic of cedar, you will appreciate its beautiful variations in colors, grains, and textures. It is worth noting that splits and cracks may develop over time as the cedar interacts with its environment. However, please be assured that these natural occurrences are not considered faults or flaws, and they do not compromise the construction or durability of any Stoked Ltd product.

To maintain the longevity of your cedar, we recommend oiling it at least once a year, adjusting the frequency based on the dryness of the surrounding environment. For instance, in Central Otago, we suggest oiling your cedar twice a year (every six months) as our recommendation.

We take immense pride in the structural integrity of our products. The Stoked Ltd stainless-steel inner (barrel) is backed by a comprehensive 50-year warranty, guaranteed by the manufacturer from the date of delivery. This warranty covers any structural failures resulting from faulty workmanship or materials, provided that the installation, use, and maintenance have been conducted in accordance with normal practice guidelines. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to know more about the normal practice guidelines.

During the month of August, 2023, Stoked Stainless achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first and only spa pool and hot tub company to attain the esteemed Climate Care Certification. This prestigious recognition has been awarded by SPASA, the distinguished Swimming Pool and Spa Association of Australia and New Zealand. It's an achievement that speaks volumes about our unwavering dedication to sustainability, eco-friendliness, and our commitment to fostering a climate-conscious approach.

The Stoked products are available in two vibrant colours to suit your personal style. Choose between Dark/Foundry or Light/Hessian.

Yes, exposed steel not submerged in water will conduct heat, so if exposed to the sun for long periods of time can get hot like any steel surface. We always strongly recommend keeping your cover on your Stoked product when not in use.

Stoked Plunge Spa Pools have an external heat pump with a reverse cycle that actively cools, capable of keeping the pool at your chosen temperature from 10-40 degrees. Additionally, we are delighted to offer an invigorating ice bath experience for those seeking a refreshing dip.

Our Wood-fired products are designed for freshwater use, without lighting a fire they can be used for a cold soak on hot summer days.
Stoked round spa pools use an electric heat pump, this does not have a reverse cycle so does not have the capability to actively cool. Designed to retain heat efficiency although set to 12 degrees for example, may not reach a temperature as low as the heat of the spa is dictated by the ambient temperature.

The wood-fired bathtub holds 450 litres of water and takes an average of 1.5 hours to heat.
The round wood-fired hot tubs hold 1100 litres of water and takes an average of 2 hours to heat.

Electric Stoked products heat at a rate of 2-degrees an hour when first heating from cold. Thereafter your spa will always be hot and ready to soak. So if the temperature of the water is 15 degrees and you'd like to get it up to 39 degrees for example, it would take up to 12 hours to heat from 15 to 39 degrees.

Stoked wood-fired products come with a cold tap for cooling down the temperature of the tub.

Our electric products offer the option to reduce the temperature of the water by using the touchpad controller and/or the app.

We have showrooms in Melbourne and Brisbane. Details are on our contact page.

Please note it is the responsibility of Stoked customers to confirm with their local council before purchasing.
