We are ‘Supa’ excited for this week's episode we were joined by Mark from Supa heater. He explained how their portable system heats hot tubs on demand, cutting energy costs by up to 70% and ensuring every guest jumps into a perfectly warm tub—every time. No more waiting, no more disappointing surprises.

We also delve in to regulations, demystifying legislation and talk about how anyone can have hot tubs on their site. We chat through simplifying the process and explore what the reality of changing water looks like. Spoiler alert! Its not that bad…

This episode is a must for anyone who manages hot tubs, or is thinking about adding them to their glamping site.
