vbslam Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Just picked up an old Hot Springs that was in perfect running condition. During transport the insulation around the heater crumbled. Anyone know if they used asbestos and what material to replace it with or does it need to be replaced? Can it sit on a firebrick? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranbiz Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 It should not be asbestos. That has not been used in over 30 years. The entire tub should be supported, fire brick should be ok if you have enough of it. Try it without the insulation, I doubt you need it. Tubs these days do not have insulated heaters.
