    That’s really going to depend on where you get it from, what kind you get, and how you maintain it.

    If you build your own and do your own maintenance, you could probably do it for practically nothing. If you go to some bougie company to do it all for you, it could be incredibly expensive.

        At the end of the day it’s just a bathtub and a room with no windows/cracks so you can get complete darkness.
        Building a rudimentary one is essentially just covering the cracks in the bathroom door.

          What would be the most compact lightproof housing for it?

          What would be the cheapest sourcing for epsom salts im assuming?

          There must be some cheap thing you can put in your bathtub to turn it into one… 🤔

          It sounds so simple when you put it that way…

            Most bathrooms don’t have windows, so it’s just a matter of blocking the cracks in the door. Can be done with some tape.

            What would be the cheapest sourcing for epsom salts im assuming? No idea, sorry.

            There must be some cheap thing you can put in your bathtub to turn it into one… 🤔 It sounds so simple when you put it that way… Just a matter of how far one wants to go in the pursuit of this thing…

              Im starting to think the cheapest way would be a hottub in a shed of some kind thats light proofed.

              The issue with doing it in the bathtub is you need that for everyday use where you cant really have it chronically stuffed with epsom and worrying about losing it.

              Or buying property on the Dead sea and wearing a blindfold and an anchor 😂
