Scott in Arizona added a DIY block hot tub to his existing pool, with separate jets and heating plus a waterfall overflow. Here’s how the build went, stage by stage.

Scott in Texas had the building skills but wanted the plumbing, parts and spa pack set-up done right. Here’s how his custom DIY hot tub came together.

Ben built a heated, jetted stock tank hot tub for his California Airbnb using one of my stock tank hot tub kits. Here’s how he did it, and what’s in the kit.

DIY Infinity Hot Tub? Is this possible? Well, hopefully by the time you get to the end of this case study you will see and learn that it totally is.

Chris from Utah got in touch with me as he knew exactly what he wanted to build. He has even modelled it up in 3D – he just didn’t know how to plumb it in – this is where I came in.

Not all of the consultancy work that I do is a full design, sometimes I’m drafted in to work on the plumbing, or even the structural build too.

So back to Chris in Utah and his journey with his DIY Infinity Hot Tub.

Trey dug out a historic, earth-filled cocktail pool in Germany and rebuilt it as a keyhole hot tub, with a dual-pump system and a Comfortline heat pump in his basement. Here’s the build, in his words and photos.

Niels in the Netherlands is building a custom hexagon hot tub with fire pit heating. Here’s his build so far, from the dig and insulated base to the walls and control room, in his own words.

Mark replaced a tired fibreglass spillover tub beside his indoor pool with a poured concrete tub, reusing most of the old plumbing. Here’s how the build went, including the waterproofing lesson.

Rob’s space didn’t suit a standard plan, so we drew up a custom design with L-shaped seating and jets on one side. Here’s how his block-built DIY hot tub came together.

Mel wanted an oak-framed pavilion with an in-ground hot tub overlooking his lake. Here’s how his formed concrete build went, including the hurdles and what they teach us.

Edward built a slim-walled DIY hot tub for his new holiday let on the Isle of Skye, with a view to die for. Here’s how it came together, including how he tracked down a 25cm overnight leak.
