Should have made it higher so went over edge of the tub. That way saved width plus holds in more heat as well as you could do ridged insulation inside out of view for even more heat retention

Yeah it was 2 things. Ripping 2 sheets of 4 ft board vs making something custom. And not having to build steps to get in. It worked well overall for the price.

That is Awesome dude. I’m in central Ohio also… go bucks! I like the height you made it, ripping 2 sheets of 4’x8’ exterior plywood down to make 4 sides is awesome. Then the cedar on the corners looks great and protects the pump well also. Sounds like you used 2” foam insulation board on the base and the lid. I have a few questions if you have a time: 1. What model Intex hot tub are you using? We haven’t bought ours yet and I want to follow your setup. 2. On the lid did you just replace the inflated part with the foam insulation? Does it get wet? Some videos recommend going wider than the included inflated top and cutting your foam to fit all the way across the width of the top for better insulation, what do you think? 3. I like the creative use of packing peanuts. I was thinking about just using regular insulation (the pink stuff or rock wool). Did you go with packing peanuts for cost or is there another advantage? Thanks buddy and awesome work!

I like this idea also .. from eastern Ohio ! I thought about setting one up on my covered deck but worried it would be a eye sore this Frame gives me hope for side yard project so I can add a wall on one side for wind block and privacy :)

Ha I traded it in over 4 years ago for my Type-R. Never saw it again, I heard it went to auction, but it never popped up. I have pages and pages of info on my build on Acurazine. Additionally, CTE doesn’t even make super chargers anymore. I probably got the last batch they ever made. It was a really fun car!

@@justinmatthews9465 it was hella fun, and unique. Pretty much Acura gets no love, so it was super rare to see a TSX supercharged. There were only a handful across the nation. It wasn’t a monster by any means. But a 300hp 6spd was a blast to drive

Can I get details on how you built the Surround enclosure
@ssjoeboe9
3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, so I used pressure treated 2x4, and created a standard “box” enclosure, similar to how you would do supports for a counter top. I placed the frame directly on top of the insulating foam bottom. From there I bought two 4x8 sheets of mdf paneling used for homes or sheds. Ripped them in half and created the 4 side panels. I then bought cedar plank fencing and created the top pieces. Finished it off by spraying deck sealant on all the pieces to protect it from the weather.

Hey thanks for this! What’s the coldest temperature it gets where you are? I’m going to see if it gets me through a Canadian winter lol

@@jeffcrummey106 last winter we got to -18C fairly consistently. But we have had winters down to -25C. I can confidently say that my insulation maintained the hot tub temp with below freezing temps for over 3 months with no real issues. Of course once you use it in -18C temps, you’re looking at 4C drop in water temp over about an hour of use. Regardless, if you do the cost benefit analysis, even with the extra $$ for insulation, you still come out with a 10 year pay back on cost of heating on 110V vs a 220V hot tub @ $8000. Definitely worth it in my opinion.

Yes it keeps temp, but after it’s used for 20 min or so what’s the heat loss?
@ssjoeboe9

Really depends on the temperature and wind. But even on the coldest nights (single digit Fahrenheit), with the hot tub at 104F it will drop to about 100F after 30min. Which honestly is pretty reasonable for what you’re paying for. In just sub freezing temperatures, you can get a solid hour before you feel like it’s had enough heat loss to where you want to get out.

Any update? Mine takes forever to get to 104 degrees i have it sitting on large 2in thick foam boards so far. It also randomly shuts off even with timer set to avoid eco mode but breaker doesnt trip it just trips at the cord....

Mine still heats at the 1-2F/hr. Even in the dead of winter. All the extra insulation really helps along the side and the top. I never set a timer though because the heater is not efficient enough to let drop and then heat back up. I only had problems with tripping the circuit when I didn’t have a dedicated outlet. Once I ran a 20amp dedicated outlet I haven’t had any problems at all.

I will add that I try to replace the water in the fall before it gets below freezing, but I still have had to drain about half the water in the middle of winter. I used an extra immersion heater (you can find them all over Amazon) and this really helps decrease the time needed to get back to temperature. I’d say it does about 4-5F/hr instead of the standard 1-2F. Can confirm that the immersion heater is safe to use with the plastic, and no melting. Of course you can’t use the immersion heater while you are in the spa, but it really does help how fast you can heat it up from a water temp of 65F.

It held up pretty well as far as holding temperature. I just surpassed a year of continuous use and unfortunately have had a few issues crop up all in the last month. I noticed I was losing air over the course of a week once filling it up. Found the leak and it was right at the plastic weld seam. I used flex seal when it was fairly deflated ( still holding water though) and that seems to have fixed it. The other issue was the pump shaft failure. I replaced it with a SS one from Amazon and it fixed the E90 error. It’s fairly easy to know it’s failed because you won’t feel any flow when you reset the unit, and will immediately get an error. Lastly, the unit has been pumping out black plastic coating from the inside of the heater unit ( I ran across another youtube video that described the same occurrence). So far it’s not really an issue, rather just an annoyance to sift it out. So all in all, pretty small fixes for what is otherwise a very reasonably price spa. My only advice if you were to build a structure like I have, definitely make sure the unit is serviceable. I was very happy I planned for service when I built the structure because it came in handy this past month.
