[RE-wrenches] Chofu Hot Tub Heater

[frenergy]

Hey Allan

        Around these parts the Snorkel Tub is the backwoods basic hot tub of choice.  Its just a hot...tub, woodfired, in the past, no circ pumps.   www.snorkel.com/   

Of course by now they may have some of the amenities of today's conventional tubs.  Oh, I see they now have gas and electric fired versions.

  Wrenches,
  I have an off grid client who wants a hot tub, and would prefer a propane heater rather than wood. The Chofu appears to be the only unit that doesn't require a circulation pump. He had located this on his own, but told me that "The propane fired, self igniting, hydrosiphoning Chofu is no longer available domestically. Seems the Japanese do not wish to export these to the USA anymore.  I will keep looking as this was the most sane idea for the project and of course cheapest. Chofu listed on Island Hot Tub is currently unavailable. I talked to him a week ago and it sounded like there was no availability for the foreseeable future."

  Does anyone have a line on where one can be located before they're all gone? Or a good alternative?

  Thanks, Allan
