Have a look at this link. It can be used with a iron tank, to make a heater for swimming pools and hot tubs.

Subject: [papercreters] On demand water heater
Has anyone used an on demand water heater to heat a hot tub? Would this be wildly impractical? I would love to have an outdoor water feature where I could soak but am not up to figuring out solar or anything like that.
