My natural gas hot tub heater went out last month and replacement options are all very expensive, especially considering the ghetto nature of the hot tub. However, my two little girls love playing in it in the summer so i'm motivated to get it warm enough for them to swim/play in.
I was thinking I could make a rims tube with a 5500w heater in it and plumb it into the 500 gallon (?) hot tub where the old heater was. I have an extra PID and sensor as well and a 240v GFCI outlet right there.
Thoughts on this? Anything easier to consider? Is this safe?
Thanks for any thoughts...
