Hey we did almos the exact same thing last winter. Only extra mile we went was I spray foamed ours. It is intended to be permanent at our home so I hit the outside with spray foam and then put a couple layers of fiberglass on that to protect it. It works great!
They are animal safe as they are sold @ tractor supply as feeders. And I don’t thing the hot water makes the plastic any hotter than it sitting out in the sun in the summer with it being black. I have since taken this apart it was fun for a couple of months.
Thank you so much for getting back to me… I think this is a better idea then buying a small pool that will not last . I’m going to buy the fleet farm brand 300 gallon. Just makes sense
I'am Very Happy, with the 100 gal one. When i got it home i gave it a Amour All bath, all over it. Top bottom inside and out side> BOY IT SOAK UP THE AMOUR ALL > So i did it 2 more time.. I should get many many years out of it
I ran this for a few months. It was not to bad on propane. But I did not insulate or build a cover for it. I think I used a bottle a week with heavy use.
Pump intake at tub can suck body parts in. A kid died when he got down on tub drain feeding pump. Horribly it sucked his insides out. Make sure you have a guard that will not alloy someone to get up against and seal to the tub feed to the pump. It looks like your just using the pump to circulate at low pressure instead of drive tub jets so this should not be a problem for your setup. Its normal to have two feeds from tub to pump so it one gets blocked it will draw from the other without damage. Hydraulics have lots of force.
I ran it almost the entire summer and it was ok. This was a couple of years back now. I have retired this project as a scored a free hot tub from a friend
nice vid!
Im gonna give this a shot!! Done played back the pluming part about 10 time !!! THANKS!!!
Awesome, drop a video of your build. I would love to check it out. Thank you for watching my video, happy I gave you some inspiration 👍

That’s awesome !! We would have done the foam as well for the winter. But we ended up getting a free hot tub from a friend last fall.
Very clever Dave!
Thanks bud.
Excellent. Just what I needed.
This was a great for us, we ran it all last summer. We then got lucky and scored a free hot tub from a friend. So this has been retired.
Im getting this for my turtles soon 😄
Very cool
they turned out pretty good ,
Thanks , fun little Saturday project on the small farm
Cool...I've been wanting build somthing like this at my off grid camp site.
I would love to see your version !! I hope my video helped give you some ideas !!
It did...I just need to research how to run the pump via solar.
Should be very easy with an inverter. Harbor Freight or Amazon will have them
Question fir you: instead of drilling holes on the side of the tank, could you have used a pipe over the edge and into the water to pump it out?
@@angelzubia5058 yes you could totally do that as well !!
"no you can't get splinters from that wood"... lol
Gotta keep them in line LOL
I just found one on the side of the expressway. It’s got a pretty good crack in it. I think I can fix it though
Nice, I used the two part epoxy to seal mine back up. along with a torch to heat up a little... It never leaked again !!
What a cute kid!
Thank you, she is my farmer and helper
That would make a big 3 people whirl pool or Jacuzzi
going to do a "no so hot tub" using that same stock tank style. Local to me about a dollar a gallon.
Awesome !!
Are these safe to fill up with hot water? Are they food grade? Do they leach chemicals when exposed to hot water?
They are animal safe as they are sold @ tractor supply as feeders. And I don’t thing the hot water makes the plastic any hotter than it sitting out in the sun in the summer with it being black. I have since taken this apart it was fun for a couple of months.
@@1620GarageAndFarmwhy did you disassemble it?
@jaybo9044 I got a free hot tub from a friend of mine. This was a fun project.
Great job!!! What kind of pump did you use with filter?
It was a Hayward. I linked the pump in the video description.
This is it www.amazon.com/dp/B004VU8SU4/?tag=1620garage-20
Thank you so much for getting back to me… I think this is a better idea then buying a small pool that will not last . I’m going to buy the fleet farm brand 300 gallon. Just makes sense
Does it release microplastic because the water is hot?
Only used this for a few months, and it bever got over a 100 degrees so I would say no.. Thanks for checking out the video.

I would like to know how your filter is working and pump?
I ran this setup for about 6 months. It worked great. Recently got a free hot tub from a friend so I took this apart.
So how do you like your Jacuzzi? I have on two of them was not really impressed.
How much propane did you use to heat up the 300 gal? Think about getting wood burner before i saw your video.
I ran this for a few months. It was not to bad on propane. But I did not insulate or build a cover for it. I think I used a bottle a week with heavy use.
Did you make the round bench or did you buy it somewhere?
I scored that from an old soft tub. But you could make one pretty easy.

Thanks for the input, this was pretty low pressure. And lit was taken apart a few weeks later as I got a feee hot tub off marketplace
This is amazing! Can you use this in the winter, or would the parts freeze?
You could run it in the winter, but I would recommend insulating it.. it would consume a ton of propane.. thanks for checking it out !!
All relative to where you live. Does it get to 20° or -20° in the winter.
@melaniepewe1583 nope, not even close
awesome idea i hope you got your monetization!
I did! Thanks for checking out my channel 😎
I’m buying the same tank and same size .
The gas water heater can actually work continuously for how many hours a day?
This was built and then taken apart .. I think I got a few days out of tank remembering back.
is there any problem with using that pump to pump 102-104 F water flowing through it?
I ran it almost the entire summer and it was ok. This was a couple of years back now. I have retired this project as a scored a free hot tub from a friend
My girlfriend just got there to put a coin in. How much did it cost you I was thinking the same thing not including the stock tank
It was not bad , under 200 bucks. I was able to find the parts on my local Facebook market place. And also for the heater on Amazon prime day on sale
and your rubber hose from home
depot - i think that has a temperature limit that would not allow for 100+ F water temperatures.
That is a possibility. I ran this setup for a few weeks and didnt have any issues.
Now a days it is 319$
Prices on everything are out of control ....
