This is the idea that underlies the development of the Softub. Reduced to the maximum combined with a minimum of effort. There are almost no limits to where you can put the Softub thanks to its low empty weight and minimal power requirements. Its round shape means maximum freedom of movement and bathing comfort.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-2747199dd8b797213 fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_2747199dd8b797213\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"2747199dd8b797213\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-5053-1\" data-target=\"#2747199dd8b797213\" href=\"#2747199dd8b797213\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">What needs to be prepared for installation?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"2747199dd8b797213\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_2747199dd8b797213\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">The surface on which the Softub will stand should be level and not tilt.

A fused 240V power connection and a nearby water connection are all you need for a great bubble experience.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-f8f4a5da731d1008c fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_f8f4a5da731d1008c\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"f8f4a5da731d1008c\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-5053-1\" data-target=\"#f8f4a5da731d1008c\" href=\"#f8f4a5da731d1008c\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Is the Softub suitable for children and older people?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"f8f4a5da731d1008c\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_f8f4a5da731d1008c\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>The Softub hot tub can be used by all ages, there are no limits. There are many good reasons to choose a Softub hot tub, especially for children and seniors. The soft, non-slip material means there is virtually no risk of injury. Its low height, and the fact that there are no seats and benches, mean that children have plenty of space to move about. Getting up is not a problem, whatever your age.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-23cc186bc44562b09 fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_23cc186bc44562b09\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"23cc186bc44562b09\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-5053-1\" data-target=\"#23cc186bc44562b09\" href=\"#23cc186bc44562b09\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Do you sit on the floor of the Softub?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"23cc186bc44562b09\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_23cc186bc44562b09\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>The floor of the tub is as soft as the tub itself. You sit as comfortably as on a sofa and are completely free to move. And because in water the body of the Softub has a buoyancy of about 30%, you do not really sit firmly on the floor, you float a little.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-3e35aedd8a2f52753 fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_3e35aedd8a2f52753\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"3e35aedd8a2f52753\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-5053-1\" data-target=\"#3e35aedd8a2f52753\" href=\"#3e35aedd8a2f52753\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Is the small number of jets enough?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"3e35aedd8a2f52753\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_3e35aedd8a2f52753\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>The Softub uses heat recovery technology. The waste heat of the engine heats the water to 40\u00b0C. The desired temperature is controlled by the electronic thermostat. This simultaneously cools the engine and saves the need for a separate heater. This is reflected in the low electricity costs of less than CHF 200 per year. The Softub heats up by 0.5 &#8211; 1.0\u00b0C per hour.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-0a50629ecbcf9b40b fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_0a50629ecbcf9b40b\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"0a50629ecbcf9b40b\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-5053-1\" data-target=\"#0a50629ecbcf9b40b\" href=\"#0a50629ecbcf9b40b\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">What do I do with the Softub in the winter?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"0a50629ecbcf9b40b\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_0a50629ecbcf9b40b\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>Continue bubbling away like in the summer.

However, since no metal parts come into contact with water in the Softub, there is no risk of corrosion. As a manufacturer, Softub does not offer a guarantee when salt is used. The water quality can be maintained by adding sea salt. However, to disinfect the water, sodium chloride (chlorine) has to be added. The salts are added directly to the water and they remain effective throughout. The salt to water ratio is 1:100, which means the water will not taste salty.<\/p>\n<p>Softub stocks four types of sea salt.<\/p>\n<p>Jod &#8211; Selenium: Selenium supports the body&#8217;s metabolic process and protects cells from harmful influences such as stress and premature aging. Selenium is an antioxidant that protect against oxidative stress and prevents skin aging.<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium sulphate: Magnesium ions help soothe skin diseases. The osmotic effect between magnesium brine and skin cells also purifies and regenerates the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Dead Sea brine bath: Not only Cleopatra bathed in the White Gold of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea brine bath stimulates circulation and skin metabolism. During bathing, the body absorbs minerals from the brine and the natural protective function of the skin is strengthened. Skin problems such as psoriasis, neurodermatitis, acne and allergies improve significantly. You can also do that in your own bathtub!<\/p>\n<p>Selenium\/brine bath: Tired, exhausted, unfocused? The thyroid gland is considered the body&#8217;s accelerator. Its hormones control the metabolism to a considerable extent. For this it needs sufficient amounts of iodine and selenium, which are often lacking. An iodine or selenium bath gives relief, strengthens the immune system and delays the aging process. Selenium also has an antioxidant effect and protects the cells from harmful environmental influences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-7ecb89d6102fa8d1f fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_7ecb89d6102fa8d1f\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"7ecb89d6102fa8d1f\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-5053-2\" data-target=\"#7ecb89d6102fa8d1f\" href=\"#7ecb89d6102fa8d1f\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">The lid is heavy.
