scottishjohn Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) something I have thought about for years why has no one -,to my knowledge made a heated bath to run off CH system It would heat the bathroom when not in use and keep the water warm for that long soak . and also be a towel warmer seems a simple job wrap a plastic bath in UFH piping and resin it in postion --job done If I were younger i would do it my self with a temp stat onso you can set to dired water temp Am i missing some major reason why not?

markc Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Oddly I have been thinking about this for years, I never considered using the bath as a radiator but i looked at spa baths and non of them heated the water, only circulated it so went cold very quickly. That got me thinking of taking water from the bath, heating and returning either as a whirlpool or even falling like a conventional tap … just one of my endless “if I get chance I must do this” lists of engineering tinkering projects.

Post and beam Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Why would anyone want to soak in a bath for longer than the usual cooldown time of a standard bath. I did recently see a range of baths made of a heat retaining acrylic that offered some kind of solution to this perceived problem. Very expensive though.
