Can this tub handle really hot water? Trying to use it for laundry.

Yep,had a situation where I had to sterilize some things and they held up very well.I have 3 of them....

I have not used mine for that, only an outdoor fountain. I think it would as it very thick & tough. Pun intended.

I haven't used it for hot water either, but I agree it should be fine. It's very heavy duty plastic. Not thin and does not bend..

I haven't actually tried it, we bought it to bathe our toddler in a place where we don't have a bath tub. I would guess it can as it is very thick walled. I can't imagine that hot water would have any effect on it.

I don't see why not unless it is a very shallow bath. Added to the heat-retaining properties of metal, the water might get too warm and encourage excess growth of bacteria and other nasties. Conversely, fully heating a concrete bath in a Northern climate is a bit out of their range.

Yes; though, I don't use it for that. The unit is so tall that it may look funny or awkward with a tub. I will say, however, this was an AWESOME purchase and we are totally satisfied with the product! It is in our guest bathroom and regularly take showers there just to use the panel! Feel free to ask me any more questions!

I've used very warm water and it is fine. It is medium to heavy vinyl so it could probably handle pretty hot water. Don't know about boiling water.

I have never used ours for anything but water. However, I have no reason to think it would react with laundry soap. Alternatively, you might find a used liquid detergent container with a spigot.

I've only used it once or twice in the heat of the summer, and it took all morning and afternoon to heat the water to about 100 degrees. I doubt it would work satisfactorily in the winter. My advice would be to invest in a camp stove, the more Btu/hr the better, and heat your bath water that way, or learn to enjoy being grungy and stinky.

I wouldn't put any warm (hot) liquid in it. The tub itself is quite flexible and anything warm/hot would make more unstable. I would recommend looking for something that doesn't flex like this tub.

It probably could though i have not used it for that purpose. I bought it to be a turtle pond. It is very good heavy black plastic that i think could withstand water that gets hot enough for laundry. If this one cannot i would doubt any plastic could.

I haven't tried any heated products with it but I really don't think it would hold up. Try some plumbing fittings.

I think this would be to much of a pump for what you are looking for. Its been my experience, hot water does not pump very well.

It wouldn't seem to be very comfortable. I don't see why it wouldn't do well with hot water, but i'm not sure the design of this tub would be appropriate for a hot tub. My 75 gal. tub might be 3 1/2 feet across at the longest point, you would have to have your knees up and only one person, but maybe you are short? A tub should be at least 4 1/2 ft. min.. What do you think?

You tub and the floor beneath it should be built to hold a full tub of water so you should be fine.

It would probably be better if you used a small electrical water heater. In order for this to heat the water, water must be flowing through the unit. It works great for our hot tub, but the pump must be running.

The hot water is not a problem. A rough tumble and drying in a dryer is where the liner can be damaged. Use delicate cycle and hot/ hot and you should be fine. Then dry on low or no heat.

No, not recommended. This is designed for aquarium use, and does not have the heat tolerance required for the hot tub. Best bet is to find something form a pool and spa supply store that is designed to be used in the hot tub.

I don't know for sure but would highly doubt it, most tubs do not sit flat on the floor and I would not believe that the floor heater would be strong enough to keep bath water warm.

No, it says never to use hot water in the unit, but it does just fine with cold water. I have never used the detergent , but you can use power washer detergent in it.l
