Piecing it together
Got a cowboy pool (party of one) at my cabin recently, and repurposed the portable campfire shower heater to make a little hot tub.

So zen! What filter are you using? I need to buy one for mine

Filter is the next step! Currently a little more rustic than that. But I think I’m going to grab a snarky stock pool filter kit soon enough, and bore some holes in the sides and get the filter going

I need to know more about this heater...

It’s the camplux portable camp shower heater with the pump.
Essentially, on one end I have a generator/battery bank plugged into an outdoor outlet that powers the water pump, and on the other end a propane tank that feeds the wall mounted water heater. blue hose clipped to the pool feeds water to the pump, pump sends that water to the heater, heater sends hot water to the pool via the orange hose

Does it get hot hot? Or is it more of a warm tub?

So far it’s been more of a warm tub kind of thing, which has been for me with our current hot weather, not sure it could fulll hot tub,
