can this be used to sustain heat in an indoor hot tub

We've used ours to heat a tub from 70 degrees to about 110 in an afternoon, so it should definitely help keep an existing tub hot. Not sure I'd leave it plugged in while I was in the water, but that's just me worrying about electricity.

Not a recommended application. It is not designed for that type of thermal load demand, thus a possible safety and economy issue. Recommend researching other types of water heater devices such as pumps used for heating vehicle engines, or larger capacity thermal heaters. Good luck with your project.

yes it does provide heat and says its ok for indoor use but i use it outside. Im sure its putting something in the air.

It is designed for indoor use. However if you keep it dry and stay within the specified temperature and humidity range it would be ok. Or you could use a water tight enclosure.

I use it in a pool, but the same applies to the hot tub as a pool. I would say it works.

Yes, you should be able to use it in your hot tub. Ph is effected by temperature, but the effect is small. At 106 F it will read 1% or so lower than the true Ph.

I use mine in our swimming pool. I do not see any reason why this would not work in a hot tub as long as you have a flat surface to place the stabilizer

I've used this in a small bathroom and it works well. It may make the bathroom feel quite warm. I had a leak in my bathroom that I was trying to keep dry until I could get it repaired.

I use it for a hot tub heater .probably ok for hand washing or dishes ....not for a long shower

Yes. This winter makes the fifth winter I have used mine indoors. Safe as can be, so long as you take all the precautions you would with any other heating device and don't get it too close to combustibles.

No,I wouldn't try it.The inner liner is plastic and those types of temperatures would make it difficult for it to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Yes, but not recommended for submersion heating by manufacturer. Would probably work though, but make sure it is powered by a GFCI protected circuit.

Don't think so. The product infomation says for indoor use only. Hope this is helpful.

I would say yes. That's the thing about this heater-- it's not designed to heat the whole room; sitting in front of this thing is like sitting in a warm, sunny spot.

Assuming you are trying to reduce the heat loss from the water heater, this would not be a good choice. This product works well as a reflector of heat from a radiator, but has limited value as an insulator. There are products made specifically to slow the heat loss from hot water heaters.

It never seems to stop heating so should be no problem for your tub. And yes you can use a garden hose with an adaptor

Indoors would be kind of hard since if you have more people in the tub the water overflows....... if you had in like a basement with drain it would be ok.... but no special plug

I believe it will be fine. I have mine in a 15' x 20' metal building that I've made in to a she-cave. I have a hot tub and a treadmill along with my sauna and the temperature and humidity inside the building mimic the outside temperature and I haven't had any problems. Works great.
