Yotiki Spa is Open for Business!

We were at the cabin for a week so we had plenty of time for projects. The Spa is officially open for business and is probably the best thing I've ever built. Almost nicer than the cabin. Pictures are below but may not explain what is going on. I put up gutters and will collect rainwater off the roof and run it into a rain barrel. There are filters in the gutters and in the rain diverter to filter out the pine needles, leaves, etc. Once in the barrel the water is filtered through a 6 micron filter attached to a float that will allow the input to pull from the middle of the water level. That is the cleanest water in the tank. When the barrel is full I will also add 2 cups of bleach to kill off any bacteria. A DC water pump pulls the water from the tank via power from a 12 volt marine battery. This battery is charged via a solar panel on the roof of the cabin. Flipping the power switch starts up the pump and sends water to a propane powered on-demand water heater. Hot water arrives 10 seconds after you hit the switch. The water pressure is even good. Couldn't find a decent system to buy and came up with this. VERY pleased with the results. It's feeling downright civilized these days!

*EDIT - Check out that picnic table. Thanks again Dad for your awesome work!
