Propane Hot Tub Diy - 100 Gallons of Bliss

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

This is amazing! One caveat, pressure treated wood may be treated with arsenic. I'd replace with cedar. Happy soaking. Cheers!
@TinyIndustrial

Yup, others have had that comment. Use of the pressure treated is pretty minimal in this implementation though, but I agree that if I were to do it over again, I would use cedar or similar.

Wow simple, I love it. How long does it take to heat?
@TinyIndustrial
@TinyIndustrial Рік тому
It takes about 30-45 minutes to heat. Depends on water temp, exterior temp and so on. Pretty effective though. If I kept it on long enough, you could do a lobster boil in there.

how much propane does it take? Supercool easy to do..Brilliant!
@TinyIndustrial
@TinyIndustrial 2 роки тому
I find that I can heat 75 gallons of water about 3 or 4 times with one 20lb tank. Depends on water temp and ambient air temp and so on, but roughly 3 to 4x per tank.
@robligeti8353
@robligeti8353 13 днів тому
Awesome! How long does the propane tank last and how do you modulate the temp?
@TinyIndustrial
@TinyIndustrial 11 днів тому
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?
@dentworx1126
@dentworx1126 Рік тому
Would it work with just one burner and put a metal sheet above it to disperse the heat? I'm in the process of making one...
@TinyIndustrial
@TinyIndustrial Рік тому
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
@TinyIndustrial
@TinyIndustrial 2 роки тому
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?
@kingmichaelthelastwarrior
@kingmichaelthelastwarrior 2 роки тому
@@TinyIndustrial- yeah when I noticed the rubber hose, I thought eek! I live in a travel trailer in the country, and have been kicking around creating a tub with a water container like that one; hot bath would be nice once in a while😁. I like your idea and thanks for reply✌🏽
@TinyIndustrial
@TinyIndustrial Місяць тому
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.

Yes, true. I mostly shut the burners down when it's hot enough and I get in. 75 gallons holds temp pretty well to take a 20-30min bath.

You can spend more on a bigger tank if you want/need the leg room. That will take longer to heat up though and will use more fuel...plus the tank will cost more to buy. This size tank is fine for me. Sound like you would prefer a bigger one. Mine is the 100 gallon version I believe.
