BBB 2015 hot tub

[Jamesrl]

Can't see a problem meself, Chug puts a plan together, we arrive, gather over a tea/coffee and discuss how we should go about arranging a meeting to decide when to have a meeting to consider Chug's plan.

There's no point in having a meeting 'til all participants have arrived, that might happen by Sunday morning.

By the time the meetings have taken place,  admin and management appointed,  risk assessments and safe systems have been ironed out, everyone supplied with the correct PPE I reckon it'll be ready for next year.

Or we could just fling it together out out whatever is to hand, with health and safety being observed to the usual level.

[Julian]

... with health and safety being observed to the usual level.

I propose Arash is in charge of health and safety.

[greasemonkey]

Second that. I propose we have a St Johns Ambulance, and an Air Ambulance on site, with some trauma specialists on board.

[Jamesrl]

You'll definitely need trauma specialist if Chunder gets his kit off and Post Traumatic Stress Councillors to boot.

Mind you several jugs of Hifly's anesthetic might ease the shock.

Knightly, any chance of a few photos of the tank, so we have some idea of what we have to work with.

Are we still thinking of heating it via an M67 sat in a 205 drum, with water being pumped from the tub into the drum and then gravity fed back to the tub.

Whats all this talk of the safety elf, he'll only stop you putting me and Chunder in before adding the vegetables.

[Chug]

not sure what the plan is yet, m67 or I have that trianco oil burner/boiler, or WHY?

Perhaps the "printers" could print Lynda a floating drinks tray.

If you want lots of bubbles, jacuzzi style, the you need a decent sized pump and the venturi nozzles to suck air into the water flow.

For my pool I have a 300lpm two speed pump (300lpm is top speed) pumping through 1.5" hose to three venturi nozzles.
That fills the surface of a 12' diameter pool with bubbles.

I thought I'd posted pics already... but I guess not... I'll take some tomorrow :-)

[Head Womble]

You had, but I'd missed them.
Chug has posted up a link.

I could ask The Girl to breath on it.

Should take about 2 minutes to get up to temperature. 

[Tony]

OK chaps, after much deliberation and consultation, here's my plan to contribute to the hot tub heating.

I have an M67 and a steel 205l drum (thanks keef), a coil of copper to act as a heat exchanger, a nice, isolated magnetically coupled pump and garden hose to get water to and from the hot tub.  So we can isolate the pool water from the heated M67 water (and not have to worry about maintaining water level in the M67 if water was to be pumped in and out).

What we will need is some form of footer filter for the hose.

I've got some chlorine tablets and chlorine strips if we want to make sure the pool water is hygienic.

What about the build of the hot tub itself?  Chug's mighty plastic fantastic?

[knighty]

just realised I still need to post photos of the tank !


it's behind a stripped  camper van, which is behind a knackered jag, which is behind a knackered sprinter....

but I'll get it out next week and post some pictures up :-)

[Tony]

I've just run up the pump and checked fittings with hose and copper coil, it all plumbs together a treat
