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

[yelped]

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

זוחלים? If you put down the plug and turn off the faucet?

[m65]

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.

if u have a large enough bathtub (335 liter acc to reb chaim naeh) and u put a good stopper in, then for basic tvilas ezra its good. dono though about "tosefes kdusha"

+.5
זוחלים means flowing out, not flowing in.
the plug would be fine, the faucet makes no difference

Most tubs aren't 40 saah and would be hard to immerse in.

1. Plug might be מקבל טומאה.
2. Many plugs might have a tiny leak that would render it זוחלים.

335 Liters is 88 gallons. I think that newer houses in Lakewood may have bigger bathtubs than that in the master bedroom. I would have to measure mine.

1. Plug might be מקבל טומאה.

1. Plug handle is metal, but the part that stops the water from going out is rubber. Not sure if that matters.
2. You could never know, but why should you be choishesh by a Rabunon (Is zochlim a rabunon) ?

1. Many hold that rubber is מקבל טומאה.
2. IINM if it's זוחלין then it doesn't have an advantage over תשעה קבין and might be even less.

Mine measures roughly 80 gallons. And it's fairly large IMO.

I was saying the whole time that taking a shower made more sense, but I was getting mixed messages from others here.

standard tub. Larger tubs are 100gal

is that when it’s full to the top?

zochalin is דאורייתא, nine kavin is much better than nothing
a rubber plug is not a kli because it is not meant to hold anything inside, and because its only use is when מחובר לקרקע
@ExGingi  even if rubber is mekabel tumah (source?), if there is no בית קיבול its not mekabel tumah (exept metal)
if it actually leaks, even a drop its zochalin, thats why i wrote "if u have a good plug"
@yelped i would imagine that the metal handle doesnt make the rubber plug a kli because its only משמש the rubber and isnt the עיקר, not 100% sure
@Dan i have the new standard  israeli bathtub at home and its not 335 liters, dont know whats standard in usa

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

Link?

Since they are used you might want to inquire what was stored in them.

Could you post publicly here in detail (maybe with pictures) what you did for heater and filter/pump. What do you do about the faucet at the bottom?

[ExGingi]

That specific listing says silicone. I saw a listing that said water for $100 each.

what could be stored in them that would stop u from buying it, holy water blessed by DJT?
