Does he wave his hands for a couple of hours under the touchless (water saving) faucet to fill it up?
Possibly, if he can use his other hand to debate with lurker the definition of racist, water might overflow though.

You fill up right from the hot water heater. Don't you guys know anything?  ::)
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

And what does the slave do in the meantime?

  • Location: As always, silence is NOT an admission of agreement on DDF. It just means that people lack the stamina to keep on arguing with made up "facts", illogical arguments, deceiving statements, nasty and degrading comments, and fuzzy math. - @yelped

Failing at maintaining Lurker status.

The eBay link I posted above was for $25 (in Detroit). I've found something in NJ on eBay for around $60.

If I can get it in Brooklyn for $25 I would definitely take, if only for the experiment. I saw on eBay also 330 gallon tanks. Presumably those would be a little more spacious.

There was a video going around WhatsApp of some guy in London that made a mikva in his basement for around 400.
Can't find the video now but he glued a large aboveground (maybe inflatable) pool to the ground and hooked up a filter and maybe even a heater

I was wondering how does one make an inflatable pool or hot tub מחובר לקרקע.

He glued it with some kind of caulk gun adhesive. Could be he cut a small hole on the bottom but don't think so

https://www.target.com/p/intex-86-x-23-rectangular-frame-above-ground-outdoor-baby-splash-swimming-pool/-/A-76113409

Walmart seems to be sold out of these but they had an inflatable one with filrer for about $100

This comes with filter

I actually saw a few clips of people using this and they had some cheshbon of making it mechubar. Just need someone more knowledgeable than me to give specifics

Screw, washer, caulk. I know somebody who made it.

They also got a hot water insert that you put in and they had a nice warm mikvah.

And how much do you think such a container costs?
over here some guys got a bunch and are selling them for 5-600 shekel. im sure if u get one wherever they sell them for its original intended use, its drastically cheaper

I've seen similar websites. My question was rhetorical. A 250 or 300 gallon water tank doesn't cost $0.
it was free for me because i picked up a used one from a construction site. but it shouldnt be too expensive if u buy a new plastic one either

Source that it's acceptable as a Mikva?
as to the argument that עשאה לקרקע is not a kli, i dont know if that is valid for שאובין. as to the part that u can make a hole in a kli and use it for a mikva its mefurash in שו"ע יו"ד ר"א ס"ז
