Solar Powered Off Grid Hot Tub- How it works!

Curious about how to heat a hot tub off the grid using solar power and propane? In this video, we share how we created a hybrid system to enjoy a relaxing hot tub experience at our off-grid cabin, using solar energy for power and a propane water heater to heat the water efficiently.

We’ll walk you through:

How we use solar panels and batteries to power the hot tub’s pump and circulation system
Why we chose a propane water heater for fast, effective heating off the grid
The step-by-step setup, components, and connections in our hybrid solar/propane system
Tips on balancing solar and propane for eco-friendly, cost-effective heating
This setup allows us to enjoy hot soaks all year round without relying on the grid. Whether you’re looking to live sustainably, enjoy off-grid luxuries, or simply learn more about solar and propane solutions, this video has everything you need!

I love watching and listening to your testimony of off grid living 👍👍👍👍. You two are an awesome couple to follow, love the humor

[brendahogue]

Love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and Jen and showing you hot tub

[garydavis]

I have a suggestion for the hot tub. Find something cheap to protect the cover of the hot tub from the sun. I've had to replace the cover on my hot tub a couple of times because the sun eventually destroys the vinyl, and new covers are NOT cheap! Thanks for the video.

[johnkirby]

Great explanation Jay, keep it simple and easy to service.
Enjoy it while you can.

I have a hot tub at my house, "not off grid", but my cover is black and I installed a preheat water tank, also painted black, to help heat the water. We have gobs of sun here in Florida, but im going to adapt the idea to my off grid cabins in Wisconsin and Missouri. Thanks for the info! Love what ya'll are doing ❤

[jimdelong]

Simple set up. Easy to maintain.
I like it.
I'm glad you get to have that kind of luxury at the cabin 😊

[justiceleague]

You make it sound so simple! Great info and video! Thanks for sharing!

So hows the hunting up there? I never see any hunting videos and from were you guys are there should be some good hunting?

You could use an electric water heater, point of use, etc to use your solar when your batteries are full. Free heat.

Just a thought.

One could have a large tank to heat with extra power and use it during the winter or shoulder seasons to heat your house with a radiator for someone without a heat pump. Or a way to store energy until needed. Endless possibilities.

Hope you can relax a bit and enjoy all the hard work my friends 👍🏻 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you always!

For the first 18 months we were here our only baithing was our hot tub, the only way to heat it was to drop super heated rocks in it from the campfire. it was terrible. On the plus side, bath night always evolved in to date night out there in the hot tub in the dark, in the woods with our white gas lantern flickering away

[lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

Awesome you got it going again. Make sure to watch the weather this year! 😁

[kaszas]

Pro tip, this type of clorine is perfect, it kills al unwanted bacteria, and then evaporates from the water, becouse its outside, its the best solution here you showing to everyone:)

[DavidRobinson-mxcl]

Awesome video guys, great information ! Thanks for sharing 🙏👍😊❤️

[winterhomestead]

Thank you Jay .we had a hot tub at our last house but this off grid one..we aren't ready for one yet but it would be nice

[kristingrounds]

Loved the disclaimer at the beginning of the video LOL ... Million dollar question did it stop them from telling you what you did wrong? It is always great to have a hot tub on the property!

[airman]

Great video. I’m so looking forward to seeing ours up someday. How long do you leave the water in the fall? Thanks for all the help!

[nickadamson]

How about jets? Would the power consumption for that just be too insane to be worth it? Also I've wondered since way back when you first set it up, why no insulation around the inside of the tub? Would it, again, not be worth it?

In the background, I see the mini split. If you had to do it over agin, would you put the mini split under the deck a little more to keep it out of the elements? Stay warm and God Bless.
