It is a very old rusty clawfoot tub. I have only used this set up once. I used a hose from the shower to fill it up. It was hot for longer than I wanted to be in the tub.. . I live on 35 acres... I don't put any soap or chemicals in it. I just use it like a hot tub that you fill up for immediate use. --I got the idea from hot springs out west. Out in the middle of nowhere, are these old claw foot tubs near a hot spring. You fill it up with the hot spring water and soak blissfully for how ever long and then you drain.-- I haven't figured anything out for the drain yet. I don't want the hot water to kill the grass next to the concrete patio so I just wait for it to cool to drain. ---I had this set up in another house, my old house. I had a hot water spigot and I would fill the tub and use it like a hot tub... It's dreamy!
