outside spa water system idea to run by you

Susan
12 years ago

i'm ready to buy a hot tub and think i have a great idea.

we live in snow country and our water line runs under the road from our spring box up the hill.

we keep a pipe dripping outside all winter to prevent the lines from freezing.

i'd like to build the hot tub under the dripping pipe and run a drip out the bottom; giving me a never ending supply of clean fresh water into the spa. won't this keep the spa cleaner longer?

it's a wood snorkel tub, heated by a woodstove insert.

tia.
