I think we can all universally agree that there’s something special about hot tubs. They’re magical places filled with lore of raging parties, drinking, and forced intimate social situations. I only get to experience hot tub magic when I’m at a fancy hotel (rarely) or if I acquire a friend or family member with a hot tub (I don’t have one). So imagine how happy I was when I heard there could be a hot tub option for me, someone with no room for a full-blown tub but a desire to be a woman with a hot tub. This is the Dutchtub. It looks very New Age. I feel like I want to put rice in it? It’s also got a spring thing attached to it. That photo is totally off scale. Here’s the Dutchtub out in the wilderness: Turns out the spring appendage is actually where you put wood to build a fire to heat your tub. Dutchtub’s existed since 2006, but it came up today because apparently there are four new colors. Ten years of existence, four new colors. Alright so you’ve maybe heard of the Dutchtub, but just in case, let me sum it up for you real quick: it relies on a wood fire for heat, and if the water gets too hot, aka you might be boiled to death, you’re supposed to spin that spring and redirect the heat.

To me, the Dutchtub seemingly presents a host of fire issues, like, why would I put a raging fire near grass a la the above photo, or why would I let kids frolic around the open fire? Where am I getting the water to fill it while out in the wilderness? I supposed these are risks and obstacles you have to just accept for the Dutchtub.

Filming began in summer of 2009 and the movie was released in March, 2010. In addition, to its first appearance on the silver screen, Snorkel® Hot Tubs made two appearances on HGTV, in a Superscapes episode filmed and aired in 2009 and a Yard Crashers episode filmed last year and aired in 2010. To celebrate our appearance in Hot Tub Time Machine, we had two special Hot Tub Time Machine promotions.

Following the premise of the movie, we rolled back the price of a hot tub to 1986 prices for one lucky hot tub purchaser who bought between January 1 and March 31, 2010 and for another who bought between April 1 and June 30, 2010. The winner of our January–March Hot Tub Time Machine contest was Cristina Hauck, who purchased a 5x3 Deluxe package with accessories. She won $1819 when her name was drawn to have her purchase priced at our 1986 prices. The winner for the April–June contest was Carl Rood, who purchased a 5 x 3 Super Saver package. After his tub was priced at our 1986 prices, he won $1246. Be sure to check out our Media tab too. Looking for another chuckle? Read "Mid-Life Hot Tub" by Ted Olinger in News.
