Easy Portability 

The Salty Barrel is the most portable hot tub on earth! It easily fits in the boot of a small car. The entire package only weighs 27kg and it comes with a carry bag for easy transport to any destination.

No Electricity Needed! But How?

You only need two things to work your Salty Barrel: water and wood. As the water is heated in the coil it begins to rise (hot water rises just like hot air). The water follows the spiral of the coil up and back out into the tub. Cold water from the bottom of the tub is sucked into the bottom inlet of the coil which starts a steady flow without a pump. This scientific phenomenon is called thermosyphon.

Design, Durability and Materials 

The Salty Barrel is built tough, we designed it with rough outdoor use in mind. Our heating coils are made from stainless steel and our tubs are made using heavy duty tarpaulin. All of the materials used are fire resistant and made to operate at high temperatures.

More Than a Hot Tub

Your Salty Barrel is an awesome place to spend time with family and friends. Four adults can comfortably soak in the tub whilst others sit around the fire. You can cook over our heating coil with a wok or BBQ grill to enjoy flame grilled food out in the wild.

Beach camping

Worked better than I expected! We went beach camping for a week in California. Had this thing filled up by a water truck that patrols the beach to fill RV fresh water. My 5 kids, wife, and I all fit in well. Kids ages 6-14. It was the perfect end to each day we used it.

As luxurious as camping gets

Nothing beats setting up your own private hot tub next to a beautiful secluded lake or river and cracking open a good book. In the evening, climbing into your sleeping bag fresh out of the hottub gives you the best and coziest sleep you will ever get while camping. The tub is very easy to set up and fits nicely back into its carrying case when it’s time to pack up. for those that love camping and the outdoors, this is a luxurious splurge that you wont regret.

Absolutely Amazing - Shane V

Everytime I'm near a water source this is a must have for camping! I do alone camping and have no issues building the tent myself! Hottest I've got it was 214F on just basic wood :)
