Propane Hot Tub Diy - 100 Gallons of Bliss

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I have a propane hot tub DIY at my tiny house in upstate NY. Creating a stock tank hot tub was something that I had seen my buddy Chris the Capable Carpenter do: • Video . The propane hot tub heater in my case is a 3 burner propane cooker that I cut up a bit to have it fit under the DIY hot tub. My stock tank hot tub seats in this case are just a few slats, which works great to create clearance to the hot bottom of the tank.
To make this tub I used the following:
3 burner propane stove: amzn.to/3owtHeS
100-gallon tank: bit.ly/3lbTdUY
...plus some gravel, cinder blocks, and some wood for the decking
I use the following to shoot and record audio on my videos:
Camera: amzn.to/3md0brD
Microphone: amzn.to/3sNgZrp
Memory card: amzn.to/3fAvjQo
Hat: amzn.to/31KAZis

    A tank is good for about 4 or 5 baths. Depends on ambient and water temps. I generally get in when the temp is good and throttle down the burners or turn them off entirely. Takes a while for 75 gallons to cool down. You building one of these?

    I suppose so. If exterior temp is not too cold that could work. It may take quite a bit longer for the water to heat up. I can heat 75 gallons of water to bath temp in about 35-45 minutes with my set up. Single burner runs the risk of not getting to the desired temp I suppose. Worth a try.

    Considering the adjustment knobs melted away; any concerns about the rubber hose connected to the burners😵‍💫? With the good water pressure and propane tank, maybe tankless water heater would be a better choice

    Hi there. All valid points. I was concerned about the rubber hose on the burners, but there seems to be no issue with it. The plastic knobs ultimately controlled metal components, so that's what I meant when I said that it is now permanently in the 'on' position. Tankless could definitely work as well. I've seen videos with that set up. I opted for this method and so far (knock on wood) it has served me well. This works great in the dead of winter. Fiddling with frozen hoses in the icy cold seems less fun. That was part of the decisioning. Are you thinking of building one of these?

    Yes, I have had the idea of a pump and an on demand water heater. Not sure how long that would take to cycle 75 gallons through a on demand heater to get the tub up to temp. Would definitely be a safer way to do this.
