Fill it with garden hose and turn heater on. It's ready to go in 15min @104 degrees. When done drain and refill as needed. 100lb propane tank lasts along time.

I've been running this system for 5 years now. I did leave it setup for one winter, but when it goes below zero the heater had problem which I had known it would as the heater instruction said not to use it below 20f.




That is the best right there.


Um, the best.......what? It's certainly the most creative solution I've ever seen, I'll give you that.

The best..? Depends on you personal preference. What I have seen is that people use their $5k plus tub a lot at first, but then the love wears off. Water chemicals cost plenty, and if you have friends over you might even want to do a water change. This setup is simple and effective.

My first version was this setup. Fits 4 adults easily. Problem is it holds 500ish gallons so water chemistry is a must as water change would take a bit of time to fill and heat. It was fun but I like the tub better.

Yes that is my ghetto fire place too..Find a scrap front load washer and you can have one too.




It looks great a night too.

Every time I see a hot tub, I think of a college girlfriend named Heather and ski trips together...........
