Unlike plastic or acrylic tubs, our wooden hot tubs are manufactured using a 100% renewable resource of cedar wood. The wood is harvested using sustainable forestry management. There are no fossil fuels or petroleums used in manufacturing and no harmful wastes upon disposal.

It is very hard to find a customer who in this modern day is not concerned about the environment and the effects we are having on it. As such we offer sanitization systems that that are 100% Halogen free (no Chlorine or Bromine) Our systems are safe on even the most sensitive skin and on the environment! Using two of nature's most powerful cleaners Ozone and Ionization, our tubs can be used safely while producing the cleanest water available. Using a combination of both systems provides the best most effective water management.

GOOD - Ozone

Ozone is natures cleanser and is 1000 times more powerful than chlorine in its ability to oxidize foreign matter including oils, and bacteria that can quickly form in a hot tub. It is the most effective sterilizer known to man, killing bacteria and viruses on contact. Ozone is made up of 3 oxygen molecules (O3) instead of two. Once Ozone is used up (oxidized) it reverts to pure O2 leaving no residual by products. Ozone is commonly used in municipal water treatment plants or in water dispensers found in grocery stores. Northern Lights Cedar Tubs strongly recommends using an ozonator in all our hot tubs to ensure clean safe water!

BETTER-Ionization

Ionization is a process that occurs naturally when atoms loose or gain electrons. Natural minerals when electrically charged act as ionizers. Unlike other systems, our Ionization system uses 3 types of metals (silver, copper, zinc) providing the best system on the market.

Silver (Ag) ions kill over 650 types of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa such as HIV, Legionella Pneumophila(legionnaire's disease) streptococcus, E-coli, salmonella, and most viruses. Silver has been successfully used in ailments such as acne, athlete's foot, lesions, poison oak, rashes, septic ulcers, sun spots, skin cancer, warts and yeast infections. Silver is also beneficial in treating minor bites, burns, wounds and scrapes. In the ancient Greek civilization, the royalty used to drink from silver goblets and their water was stored in silver urns in order to purify their drinking water. Today NASA uses Silver to purify water for astronauts.

Copper (Cu) ions prevent algae growth. Copper is recognized as one of the best algaecide killers known to man.

Zinc (Zn) stimulates healing of the skin and prevents stains and rings on the hot tub. Leaves the skin silky soft and helps heal skin irritations.

From a health standpoint, water ionization is completely safe as no toxic chemicals are produced or consumed. The system is environmentally friendly. The water is healthy, sanitary and odor-free. Water quality is improved dramatically. The water feels fresh and clean and has no chemical smell. The ion system is ideal for those who allergic or very sensitive to sanitizing chemicals. It is non-corrosive. It is chemically-neutral, so water balance is often easier to maintain. The system is easy to install and maintain.

BEST - Ozone & Ionization

By using the combination of both systems bathers will experience the cleanest, clearest water with the least amount of maintenance. You can easily go a way for a month and never have to worry about algae or bacteria. No harsh chemical smells or iritations and no more buying expensive chemcials! You can even drain your hot tub water on your lawn or water your flowers with out having to worry about checmicals in the water destroying them.
