Can this tub handle really hot water? Trying to use it for laundry.

This is a thick plastic tub, so I don't see why you couldn't use it for laundry. However, that is a LOT of laundry.

Yes, hot water no prob. The tub is strong and sturdy. We use it for dog baths and many other things.

It is very thick, I use it for fish, I hear people bath dogs in it. Very tough.

I'm sure it is since it can handle boiling hot water. However, it's better to hand rinse to avoid a soapy taste. This makes drinking tea fun. It's the little things in life

I have never used ours for anything but water. However, I have no reason to think it would react with laundry soap. Alternatively, you might find a used liquid detergent container with a spigot.

I haven't used it for hot water either, but I agree it should be fine. It's very heavy duty plastic. Not thin and does not bend..

No, not recommended. This is designed for aquarium use, and does not have the heat tolerance required for the hot tub. Best bet is to find something form a pool and spa supply store that is designed to be used in the hot tub.

It would probably get too hot to safely handle- it is really for water or juice

I haven't actually tried it, we bought it to bathe our toddler in a place where we don't have a bath tub. I would guess it can as it is very thick walled. I can't imagine that hot water would have any effect on it.

Yes, I used this item as a warm water bath and it works very will in this capacity.

It never seems to stop heating so should be no problem for your tub. And yes you can use a garden hose with an adaptor

You tub and the floor beneath it should be built to hold a full tub of water so you should be fine.

I like my tub hot enough to make me sweat. When the water starts to cool, I refill with straight hot. The tap runs directly onto the unit and I have not had any melting issues. I should say that I love this unit. I was afraid it would leak and not do the job intended but it doesn't. I can fill the tub within an inch of the top and soak for a long time in warm water that doesn't run down the drain. I always wanted a six foot infinity soaking tub, now my 5 foot cast iron does the job.

In order for this unit to operate, there is a minimum flow rate that must be met. I don't know much about washing machines but I'd be a little surprised if this requirement is met. You should call the customer service at eccotemp.com and ask them about it before purchasing to be safe. It would definitely get the water hot enough if it would work.

We have a 2 bath and laundry with 3 adults and 1 16 year old and ours works well for us. Only issue with it is hot water pressure is weak on other outlets when filling the tub or showering. Could be how the water was hooked up

I use it for a hot tub heater .probably ok for hand washing or dishes ....not for a long shower

I live in a tiny house, which is where I installed this heater! Yes, it can do a shower and (2) sinks. As for a washer, I can't help.

Well not for tons of wet laundry Could work, should work, not what it is designed for. It is a shower rod not a clothesline.

Yes to both questions. Any kind of tea will work. It can handle the hot water.
