I want to build my own hot tub using blocks and rubberize it paint / rubber liner. Looking at purchasing the equipment like pumps, control panel, etc. It all adds up to more then a stand alone fiberglass tub for about 5 or 6 grand.
Is there a place anyone can recommend to order all parts I would need at a reasonable price? I want this to be economical and inground so I was expecting half the cost all said and done like 3,000 if I am doing labor and buying materials/ parts. I'm even ok buying lower end or refurbished pumps.
Or should I skip a control panel and just buy / set everything separately and just turn on pump, set heater. Etc to save money? It looks like I can buy a single 2 speed pump for jets and circulation I just assumed I needed the control center too, and a good one that supports pumps, blower, heater is itself like 1,000 so that's a big cost right there.
