FAQ
Does the R3 include its own water heater?
No. The R3 connects to your home’s existing hot and cold water supply; it does not include a dedicated heater.
What plumbing is required?
Standard hot/cold supply lines and a code-compliant drain connection. A licensed plumber is recommended for outdoor tie-ins.
Can it be used in freezing climates?
Yes, but lines and fixtures must be winterized (drained/isolated) before freezing temperatures to prevent damage.
How long does assembly take?
Typical assembly is ~1 day with 2 people; allow time for a plumber to complete supply/drain connections.
What maintenance does the wood need?
Wipe down after use and re-oil exterior Thermo-Spruce periodically with the included paraffin oil, then as needed to preserve finish.
Pro Tip: Place the R3 near your sauna or plunge route to streamline hot/cold cycles and keep interior floors dry.
