Mikvah - $1,250
Heater - $125
Filter - $150
Pump - $175
Cover - $95
Steps - $175

Ok. So I've found 275 gallon totes on eBay for under $100. What does one use as a heater?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

You planning on keeping the water in it or draining it each time?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Keeping for a while. Draining it daily would wash away all my savings from the shelter-in-place, along with the stimulus from DJT (did you get a letter from him over the weekend about it?), and maybe even the forgivable portion of PPP that I might get.

Could you duck and fully immerse in water in a 55 gallon drum?
Not possible. And it's way less than מ׳ סאה

The question was directed specifically at CV. Despite his response, I doubt he can (unless he is some kind of super flexible master of yoga).

Shower is mandatory prior to use.

Chlorine. And/or whatever is used for pools + pump/filter.

What about: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Intex-PureSpa-Plus-4-Person-Portable-Inflatable-Hot-Tub-Bubble-Jet-Spa-Blue/298203273

My neighbor got something similar from Walmart that is currently OOS (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Saluspa-71-x-26-Havana-AirJet-Inflatable-Hot-Tub-with-Remote-Control-2-4-person/803932805). I personally think it would be challenging to fully submerse in it. Additionally, while acceptable to a certain level for men's mikvah, ideally it should be (permanently) attached to the ground (or to a structure permanently attached to the ground).

Does he wave his hands for a couple of hours under the touchless (water saving) faucet to fill it up?

Can these things get to 102 or 101 degrees?

That should not be an issue. Most are around 100-104.
