Abstract

In some embodiments, a bathtub heating system may detect a temperature of bathtub fluid (e.g., water, mud, etc.) in a bathtub and may apply heat to the bathtub fluid to maintain a substantially constant temperature (or to provide a user indicated and/or predetermined temperature/time profile). In some embodiments, the bathtub heating system may not use a temperature sensor. For example, the bathtub heating system may use a fluid level sensor to detect when the bathtub fluid in the bathtub is at a sufficient height to operate and may apply a predetermined amount of power to the heating elements to approximately maintain the temperature of the bathtub fluid in the bathtub.
