Hi! I'm Dan, I'm building a hot tub.
Building a Hot Tub: A Scientist's Guide
- Thread starter AlwaysDan
- Start date
In summary, building a hot tub involves a scientific approach that includes calculating the necessary materials, understanding thermal dynamics, and designing a proper filtration system. The process begins with determining the size and shape of the hot tub and calculating the amount of water it can hold. Next, the heat loss rate must be calculated and materials with good insulation properties, such as polyurethane foam, should be selected. The design of the filtration system is also crucial to ensure the water remains clean and safe for use. Proper placement of jets and understanding the physics of water flow are also important considerations in building a functional and enjoyable hot tub.
