What are MEN in the USA that usually go to the Mikvah daily doing?

[Luvisrael]

What kind of rules? Which ones?

I see that in Israel with the new easing they are allowing 3 people at a time in men's Mikvaos (supposedly not in the actual pool, but in total between the dressing, shower and pool areas). https://govextra.gov.il/ministry-of-health/corona/corona-virus/guidelines/#a22

It's definitely tough, very hard for people who haven't missed in many years.

I heard a shiur from R Menashe Reisman on this around a month ago, and he said over from a big Rebbe (I believe it was the Vitebsker) that a Yid who doesn't believe that the Ribbono Shel Olam is a שוכן איתם בתוך טומאתם, that too is a form of Minus RL. There is no need for Mikva now as the רצון השם is obviously that we should not Toivel, and that itself is our טהרה.

He also said that the Arizal, during the 2 years he lived in Tzfas and was nigleh to us, had an old mother there. And that he came down with a cold and his mother told him not to go to Mikvah, so for 6 months (until his mother passed away) he did not go. Rather he "Toiveled himself in the mitzvah of Kibud Eim". Sometimes its 40 Seah that brings the טהרה, and sometimes its Kibbud Eim. Keep in mind this was the Holy Arizal who taught us the holiness of Mikvah and who's Mikvah we still use until this present day.

With this attitude we can survive, and 9 Kabin is 100% acceptable for Men, even in regular times.

Good enough for טב׳׳ע, not an alternative for daily mikva

Saw this somewhere, portable Mikvahs being sold.

I saw this on WhatsApp. Where are these sold?

[ExGingi]

this is my personal solution
total cost: $0

1. What is that?
2. I just fixed thread title (which was kind of implied in my OP) to clarify that I'm inquiring about solutions in the USA.

One of the hardships of the current situation is the closure of מקוואות.

Many are accustomed to go daily to the mikvah as part of their preparation for davening. Some go only on Erev Shabbos. Many go on Shavuos (hopefully this will be a non-issue by then).

Ther are several alternatives proposed. Such as taking a shower of תשעה קבין, learning mishnayos מקוואות, and some use pools etc.

Recently, a neighbor of mine purchased an inflatable hot tub to use as a mikvah.

I have also found online some solutions that seem to be available in EY.

Such as:

What are you doing? What good solutions are available in the US for a private mikvah?

They actually started selling it here in the US. I know someone who already has it! He asked a Rav and the Rav said its mamesh like a regular mikvah.

Someone in my community is selling it,

I can get his contact info if you're interested.

Please do. Though only if the cost is reasonable. Don't bother if this is $4,000. I know the Israeli price is in that whereabouts, but that seems to include delivery and installation.

They delivered it. About 5k

I'm really trying to find something more reasonable.

I have a large bathtub at home in which I can submerge myself entirely although I'm 6 ft. What is the liter/gallon amount for מ׳ סאה?

Don't rely on this without consulting a rabbi, wikipedia says 1 seah is 8.5 liters https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seah_(unit)#Seah_in_Orthodox_Judaism

[CRACKERJACK]

I’ve been told for תשעה קבין To use those 5 gallon water Bottles as it’s a כלי and it holds a lil more then needed Its what I’ve been doing

Since it's a kli, isn't Tisha kabin better?
