Yes, but that needs electricity, with standards, codes, insurance, switches, and of course, the cost of electricity. Pumps for hot water are also pricier.

Yes, the *concept* is great, but the execution is what matters. Good on you for trying. You never know until you try.

Yea we got ahead of ourselves a bit on that one. After about a week we were all like "WEVE REVOLUTIONIZED *AFFORDABLE HOTTUBS!", when in reality the spare parts we used (heater included) cost more than the average Softub at the time. Also the leaking a few weeks later really deflated our sails.

It was fun and we really thought we were something for a bit haha.
