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

Could you duck and fully immerse in water in a 55 gallon drum?

might work for baptizing, but for jewish ritual immersion u need 40 se'ah, which according to lenient opinions is 335 liter

[m65]

Ok. So I've found 275 gallon totes on eBay for under $100. What does one use as a heater?

i got a used heating piece from the boiler which i hang on a yeshivish system with a sponja stick. u can figure out any heating unit to use

oh this stuff is great! Sounds like old stories from the bungalow colony

[yelped]

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

I don't think you understood my question? Who says that because the kli has a hole already it's not a kli if that's the intended use.

Local Mikvah is open. Members only. Meaning, no cash, member card only.

gate locks for a minute after each person, so there's never more than a few people inside.
genius actually.

gate locking for a minute doesn’t really help if people are hanging out

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 know someone who did something like that

Have no idea what a mikvah is but spa/hot tub is right up my alley.

Why not just use your sink? 
"Mikvah is an integral part of conversion to Judaism. It is used, though less widely known, for the immersion of new pots, dishes and utensils before they are utilized by a Jew."

something which its purpose is to hold water, if it cant hold water because of a hole, is not a kli

Where is this? I'm not a member and not planning to come without my card, just curious what's going on in different places around the world.

But it's meant to be used attached, as opposed to a pool, which you degrade from the status of a kli when you make a hole.

(I'm just trying to get clear for myself here, not stating it as fact.)

the fact that a bathtub is meant to be used only when attached to the ground is a reason to degrade its status as a kli, not a reason to call it a kli, it might even not be called a kli even if theoretically it didnt have any holes.

So why doesn't anyone just fill up a bath and use that as a men's mikvah since שאובים is not really a problem for a men's mikvah?Some bathtubs are pretty big.

זוחלים could be a problem. Also most bathtubs might be too small to physically fully submerse.
