I'm using mine right now that I got because of your videos. Changed water and using it to speed up the re heating process so I can use the tub tonight. I did the bucket technique last time. This time I suspended it securely from my pergola roof so that the heating element is the only part in. Water stops right before the yellow part. So far by my calculations I'm heating at 18 degrees per hour doing this so I will be back in biz in around 2 hours instead of forever hours. Thank you!
I would like to respectfully like to point out that according to the manufacturer (and this can be seen on the photos on Amazon) you are not supposed to submerge the plastic piece on top.
I love these Heaters. Can't see putting it in a bucket into my hot tub, I have the bucket outside the hot tub with hot water in it and the power off. It lets me use the hot tub for another hour probably by putting the water in that bucket in the hot tub every so often. Tub gets down to 100, and I have the water at 130 in my bucket... I have put my hand in the bucket to feel the water while the heaters on, so as you can see I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
that actually is a great idea for a 110 unit in a colder climate. I DO NOT recommedn being in the hot tub with the heater in the hot tub at the same time. I am suggesting that these heaters are used at times the tub shuts down to keep it from freezing
First off…thank you for the videos! My heater went out in my hot tub here in West TN just in time for a historically cold Christmas! Gonna be single digits here and parts won’t be in for a week. Watched your videos on using a bucket heater. Ordered the exact one suggested. I have noticed that my instructions say NOT to fully submerge past the “handle”. It looks like you are fully submerging yours in the video. Am I seeing that right? Again….appreciate all the information from your videos!
That is what the instructions say. There are a couple on Amazon that allow you to fully submerge. I have about 20 of this exact unit and have been submerging for years but you do what you are comfortable with. Do not get in the hot tub with the bucket heater in it.
If you are using a bucket heater and it is at 32 degrees it typically takes 48 hours to get to 100. This is only for emergency use to keep the hot tub from freezing you should never use this to heat your hot tub on a regular basis.
We have a hot tub that won't go over 70 degrees. It will be 6-8 weeks before we can get it serviced. It's not in danger of freezing, but could we heat it up with the bucket heater, take the heater out and use it without the heater in it?
I use a similar one and the problem is the rust. I can t prevent or remove it. Otherwise, it s part of my way to have hot showers every where i travel to.
It will heat to 101 in about 24 hours. I am not suggesting you use it as a heater just as a precautionary to keep you hot tub from freezing you should never get in the hot tub with the bucket heater
@@TheHotTubLady cool thanks, i just built a cedar barrel that I wanted to heat up, it works perfectly. It actually can get it too hot! so I built a second for a ice bath. cheers.
The HASTER Portable Immersion Water Heater for Inflatble which can be used for mini pool, inflatable pool ,but need to check the water capacity before purchase
Im new owner of a grandee, just did the first empty of the water and cleaning, i found 3 very very small dots of rust i could not wash off the inside shell- what would cause this? And will it grow? Thanks
Right now the new design which comes the removable shell,and you can clean it at same time it comes with clean ball from "HASTER Portable Immersion Water Heater "
Hi, thank you for this video. We purchased a Intex 4 person inflatable hot tub and the heat is just not consistent. With the tub being pvc material and some research I’ve done, it seems like these bucket heaters are a good hack to get it warmer to start. Would your 5 gallon bucket idea work for me if I followed the same steps and not allow the heater to come in contact with the tub itself? Thank you for any help!!
That is not what I am suggesting you use this for, but technically is thould work, but if it would fall over or something that could be an instant death for your hot tub
Thank you for your kindness in sharing. I'm waiting on my hot tub and you have helped me through :)

Apermtly it should be unhooked of you want get in the watter ??
100% DO NOT GET IN THE WATER WITH THE BUCKET 🪣 HEATER EVER
How long does it take to heat up the tub
If you are using a bucket heater and it is at 32 degrees it typically takes 48 hours to get to 100. This is only for emergency use to keep the hot tub from freezing you should never use this to heat your hot tub on a regular basis.
Doesn't this cut out the motor because its set to a certain temperature?
This is only for situation when the hot tub is not heating properly, and it may freeze
Wondering if i can use that heater to save wear and tear on the heating element on my hot tub
No it wouldn't be your best option, it is designed to save your hot tub not to actually repalce the heater.
Would love if you made a video on all the low profile hot tubs available (30inches or less) . Be well!
Great Suggestion.... I will work on that. thank you.
Super helpful, thank you!
So glad!
I am wondering if this will help heat a 120 volt hottub any warmer than its upper limit?
No that is not what it is designed to do
We have a hot tub that won't go over 70 degrees. It will be 6-8 weeks before we can get it serviced. It's not in danger of freezing, but could we heat it up with the bucket heater, take the heater out and use it without the heater in it?
You could technically do that but never get in the hot tub with the bucket heater in the tub
I use a similar one and the problem is the rust. I can t prevent or remove it. Otherwise, it s part of my way to have hot showers every where i travel to.
I have never had one rust ever…. Hmmm
How about choosing the HASTER Portable immersion water heater ,which comes with the clean ball and it is stainless steel 304 which can prevent rust .
@@user-kj2sz2gl5g Maybe because I buy in Central America and don't know better .
Thanks for the great info! 😄
Any time!
Can people be in the hot tub with the heater going or does it need to be vacant?
No you can not ever be in the hot tub with the bucket heater
How hot can that heater get the tub? Just luke warm? Or can it heat it right up?
It will heat to 101 in about 24 hours. I am not suggesting you use it as a heater just as a precautionary to keep you hot tub from freezing you should never get in the hot tub with the bucket heater
@@TheHotTubLady cool thanks, i just built a cedar barrel that I wanted to heat up, it works perfectly. It actually can get it too hot! so I built a second for a ice bath. cheers.
@@millionaire233 awesome
yeah it definitely works cheers@@millionaire233
Can I use for my pool ?
I tried it on mine and it didn't really help. Never ever be in the body of water while the bucket heater is in it at the same time.
