does the tub heat up the water itself or do i have to put hot water into the tub?

It will not heat the water, but supposed to keep it hot. I didn't care for the tub at all.

The tub is able to heat water, but I think that would take some time if you pour in tab cold water. I have always just filled it with hot/warm water and use the function to keep it warm.

I didn't need the tub spout either...but it is a great feature. You turn the dial to the tub spout and turn on the water to heat up. No getting hit by cold water, as the water is coming out the spout and not the jets or overhead shower. It isn't that noticeable anyway, I doubt it can be removed. Temperature reading is great too. My remodelers was very impressed with my choice and will recommend it to his other clients.

Yes, the water does heat up. I have used it a few times and I glad I bought it.

It does not heat the water so you have to put in hot water and use soap (carpet shampoo).

The tub doesn't "fill up." The overlap that allows it to lay flat when not in use also allows it to drain as your bathe the baby. This is not a conventional tub that you fill and then put the baby in. It's a place for baby to be comfortably supported while being bathed.

I know this water heater will heat the water initially providing the hot tub is not too big. Add for what you want to do as far as maintaining the temperature ... I am really not sure ... it does burn extremely hot but it does have a timer that shuts the burner off after 20 minutes. I suppose if you're quite creative you could find a way to add a pump to circulate the water and a thermostat to regulate the temperature. Let us know what you come up with and if you get it to work.

The foot spa itself doesn't heat up the water, it just maintains the heat for about 20-30 minutes. If you want hot water you need to heat up water and then pour it in. So if you want cold water you could just fill it up with cold water instead of hot water.

I used to live in Iowa and had a different portable tub. If u keep it heated its fine. But thats a lot of work on the tub, energy wise and motor wise

If I remember correctly, you are suppose to use hot water from the tap. This unit is not one that heats it although I have not used mine yet.

No. It does not heat the water. It's not recommended to purchase it. The one I brought last year stopped working already.

It depends on the water pressure you have coming out of the hose you need to hook up to it. We really like it and it is just like a regular shower. The water really gets warm and you can regulate the temperature as you would do a regular shower.

Every time you use this, you just fill it with warm water. Since it is in your shower that's not an issue.

This unit does not actually HEAT the water. It only aids in maintaining the water temperature. Hot, or at least warm, water must be put into the unit. And even then it only does an adequate job of keeping the water warm. If the unit is turned off, the water will moderate or cool quickly.

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.

I have installed three of these over the last few years. I install mine in the hot water line. If you used enough hot water from the tank, then the water entering would be warm coming from your existing hot water system. I have had no problems with this hookup.

The faucet doesn't control hot & cold. Hot and cold are controlled by the main water handle on the bathtub!
