In this video I am going to show you how to build a DIY Hot Tub, from start to finish. I cover everything you will need to know about a DIY Hot Tub from planning to pumps, jets and plumbing, I cover it all.

With the right knowledge, building a DIY Hot Tub is not as difficult as you might think. There's no need to spend thousands of dollars on a plastic shell hot tub when you can build one yourself that is arguable of better quality.

If you are not sure about plumbing in your DIY Hot Tub then this is the video for you. I explain exactly what you need to plumb in the jets into the Tub.

Perhaps you are not sure how many jets you need for a DIY Hot Tub? Perhaps you dont know how powerful the pump should be? Perhaps you dont know what blower you need or what a blower even is? This is the video for you. I explain everything step by step one topic at a time.

You probably haven’t thought about this, but if your Hot Tub is made of bricks and mortar and is a permanent feature in your property, then it will add value to your home. Use that one to convince the other half about the DIY project!

This guy is brilliant, he knows his stuff, a year and a half ago he helped me upgrade my new hot tub to a heat pump which made it stupidly cheap to run when compared to the standard internal heater, it’s already paid for itself with how much it’s used! 😅
I did it all myself with his instructions and I learnt allot. 👍

I have the pump, heater, and controls from a hot tub we demolished (broken shell). Finding this channel is fortuitous, and I just wanted to say thank you for this, I'll be following along and planning a tub of my own! We have similar issues, no access behind our house.

I'm a french floor tiler and I've seen many videos to create my hot tub. This one is the best I've found so far. Thanks very much for your advices, Every steps is detailed, clear and understandable (even for a french ;). Let's follow your advice, step 1 : draw the plan of my future hot tub. Eventually, I'll get in touch with you if I can't find a solution in one of your videos. Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you so much, I am looking at building a hot tub for my parents and had no idea where to start. This video was extremely helpful for me understanding the process of this construction. Great video.

I think its a great way to experiment with a build and I was thinking how cool the design would be as a tiny house… I would love to have the skills to build my own tiny house!

Any tips for getting the hot neighbor's wife to come try it out once it's finished?

Hi Andy. Thank you for making your Youtube channel. It is a wealth of information. I'm on a mission to convert an old oak whiskey barrel into a hot tub. I'm trying to do it as environmentally friendly as possible so I'm figuring out how to convert my exercise bike to power a heating element that will be inside the barrel.
With the barrel being so small how many jets would you recommend? Kind regards, Jim.

Is it possible to run a generator that is separate from the house to power everything that will be in the control room???

andreshepherd

thanks for such long and detailed information. im wondering if i can make myself one of those and if i can re-use some of the "gadgets" from my old 'normal' home bath tubes with 'jacuzzi' :)

Tanking !!! Most important issue .. how do you seal the inner and round the fittings ?

Good video thx a lot very well organized

Questions

1) how much did your tub roughly cost?
2) how long did it take to built?
3) i understand that tgis was your start up and now you build for others.... how many have you built? Can you make a decent living of it?
