We are surprised at what different boilers are arranged in the village baths and choose a suitable model for ourselves

We bought ourselves a house for summer living in the village. Three of my acquaintances and friends have already done the same. Something has pulled everyone to the ground lately. And life is getting worse day by day, so I want to have some kind of alternate airfield.

The house is sturdy, albeit small. But the bathhouse at the end of the garden is almost destroyed. Rather, there are walls and a roof, but the cauldron is torn out with meat. Most likely, it was handed over to the metal. We are not going to build a new bathhouse yet, because there is a lot of work in the house, and building materials are used as strategic raw materials. Therefore, we decided to buy an old boiler for the occasion, install it and use the bath with pleasure. This was advised to us by a neighbor who helps in everything for a small reward. He is a handy man, he knows how to fold the stove and he has a welder, and a small sawmill. Lucky with a neighbor.

Let's go see what kind of boiler he has. He explained that this is the simplest, most reliable and rudimentary option. Made from scraps of gas pipe. Below is a firebox, further a heater, and above a boiler with water. Boiler with a tap, wooden handle so as not to burn. Convenient and well thought out. The brick pipe is folded right on top of the iron boiler, goes out to the roof, and there is already an iron pipe.

But getting gas pipes now is problematic, although nothing is impossible.

The second stove was looked at by another neighbor. There the boiler with water is welded on the side, it comes into direct contact with the firebox, so the water heats up faster. The disadvantage is that the crane is located very low, with each bucket you have to tilt, this is inconvenient. A very brutal option. Everything is done clumsily, but forever.

The third oven is also very interesting. Here, a brick chimney is attached to the side of the floor, the oven itself is welded from three metal cubes. When it was new it must have been very comfortable. The water boiler is huge here. But as a disadvantage, it is worth noting that there is no tap in the boiler, water can only be scooped up with a bucket through the top. And here there is a risk of splashing boiling water on yourself.

In short, what we liked the most was the first oven, which was compact and comfortable.

The neighbor promised to break through the question of its manufacture from a friend who is engaged in metal. Now it remains to wait a bit, but for now buy refractory bricks.

This is how we got a tour of the boilers in simple village baths.
