J's homemade hot tub for under $1,200 - "Hot tubs are really expensive. I can't see myself turning loose of $5000 to have a hot tub (I want one that much, and it might be worth it, but I just can't see it). For a self-sufficient guy like me that leads to only one possible conclusion - "I can build one myself." How hard can it be? Something to hold water, a pump or two, a heater, a filter, and some control mechanism(s). I can do this. I've got a machine shop. I can build anything. This is NO PROBLEM...So I got to work..."

I picked mine up for $50 at a garage sale. It was on Sunday and there was a "For Sale" sign in front of the house so a deal was to be had!
The temperature controller went bad so I made a new op-amp hot tub temperature controller.
