Hot Tub Plans

I'm sure you have seen them... Big colorful spas with acrylic interiors, attractive wood trim, high tech control panels, and a gazillion jets to massage your cares away. Ahh... Who wouldn't love to sink down into one of these beauties in the fresh night air? Unfortunately, one look at the price tag will quickly bring you back to reality.

I'm a fairly handy guy, so I wondered why couldn't I build a tub myself? Sure, it would look "home made", but when you're sitting out under the stars, who's looking at the tub? As it turns out, a home made hot tub can be every bit as relaxing as the fancy commercial versions.

My tub plans document the construction of my tub, including issues like electrical safety, heating, filtration, and sanitation. A complete diagram shows how I built my tub from parts you can get at any home center or hardware store. I also discuss a variety of alternatives you may want to consider before building your own tub.
