Paul Vaughan lost his job as a salesman during the lockdown and without a job to go to, he became extremely bored. There is only so much gardening you can do. So, Paul decided to build himself a hot tub and relax a bit.
Paul dug up a pre-formed pond basin from his garden and used that as the ‘tub’ portion of the hot tub.
The water is cleaned using the old fish pond filtration system, which he runs through 66-feet of hose pipe sitting on his concrete path, to heat the water.
Paul couldn’t have a hot tub without bubbles, so he used a tiny outboard motor to create swirling Jacuzzi bubbles. And no, Paul does not sit in the hot tub while the prop is spinning.

Paul has been relaxing in the homemade hot tub in the garden in Bridgend, south Wales, every day since he built it on April 9.
“I kept it with the intention of once again having a fish pond.
“But with the fabulous weather, and not much to do at the moment after I lost my previous job as a result of COVID, I decided to make a hot tub.
“I use an outboard motor to create the bubbles, but I just put that on there for just a little bit of a joke, as a ‘hillbilly style hot tub.’
