The Talaroo ~ Hybrid Hot/Cold Tub ~ 1.5m Round

CONCRETE-FREE DESIGN: Engineering approval for installation on most surfaces using the supplied EasyBase support platform. A concrete pad usually isn’t essential.

CRANE-FREE INSTALL: Components can be walked through any doorway to any location. Access is never an issue.

CLASS 10B CLASSIFICATION: Formal engineering classification as a Class 10b relocatable structure under Building Regulations 1993. This often allows erection on easements and reduces some typical requirements for conventional spas.

INSULATION: Insulation on all sides, including an air gap below the tub, solid hardwood walls and an optional hard lockable thermo cover.

BOTTOM DRAINAGE: The EasyBase foundation platform allows gravity drainage so the tub drains completely dry. Most other tubs leave residual water, which can become unhygienic.

ULTRA EFFICIENT HEAT PUMP: The SensaHeat Heat Pump is 5+ times more efficient than traditional spas/hot tubs that use outdated 3kW ‘kettle element’ style heaters. The difference is thousands of dollars in annual power bills!

HEATING AND COOLING (12–40°C): Enjoy your Ember Tub year round, with the ability to chill the water down to 12°C during summer and heat up to a toasty 40°C during winter.

REMOVABLE SEATING (QTR seats): Add versatility to your Ember Tub with optional removable seating. Add seats and use as a hot tub during winter, or remove them and use as a cold plunge during summer.
