Comment on DIY Air Blower for a Wood Fired Hot Tub?

You can usually find copper pipes already bent into nearly a circle at the hardware store. My idea would be to use one one of them since you can then use premade fittings to attach a hose.
Instead of making a perfect ring out of copper you could always make a nearly closed ring with one side attached to the hose and the other side just blocked off. I think that’d be easier

Hmm interesting idea. Do you think the copper would damage the fiberglass? Maybe I could line the bottom of the copper tube with something like high heat silicone to protect it?
Funnily enough I did check out aquarium supplies too, but I don’t think I went to hyper specialized stores yet that are for super large aquariums. Those might be too fine of bubble though, turning us into a seltzer.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’m going to explore it more.

I think you’d definitely want to use some type of elastic-y epoxy to keep the ring in place. I think people would naturally kick it and prod it with their feet without realizing they’re doing it.
Yeah I was gonna recommend like a pond air ring diffuser but you’d definitely feel like a fish in a bait bucket. Maybe you could make your own with less holes since there’s a lot of diy YouTube guides on how to make those.
