Power went out for a while yesterday afternoon and I didn't realize until this morning that the hot tub didn't turn itself back on. Trying to warm it back up faster than the 8-10 hours it'd probably take otherwise.

Power went out for a while yesterday afternoon and I didn’t realize until this morning that the hot tub didn’t turn itself back on. Trying to warm it back up faster than the 8-10 hours it’d probably take otherwise.

My wife has lupus and uses the hot tub at least once a day to help with joint pain, so I didn't want it to take forever to heat back up on its own.

    Heat one or more pots on the stove.

    That said, this is a weird, janky setup and I wouldn’t consider it a long-term solution, but I’m guessing you already know that.

    If you didn’t need such regular use, I’d really want to see some thorough testing and data on speed differences with and without it.

    Get your biggest stock pot, fill it up, and bring it to a boil on the stove.

    Heating a lot of water is just an energy game. Your stove is almost certainly the appliance in your house that can run through the most energy. The circulator won’t hurt but at ~1kW it will pale in comparison to even an electric stove. If you’ve got a gas range, game on.

    A good trick you can use is to heat stones over a fire/in the oven and place them in the water to warm it rapidly.
