Bootzcast and Americast are they same item. Bootz makes them both. Bootz is the only steel tub manufacturer. They make them for Crane,American Standard,Briggs etc..
Americast is porcelein on steel with a thick, sprayed on acrylic/composite backing. Unlike other enamel-on-steel tubs, these do not "sound" cheap & tinny when you rap on them-they sound just like cast iron. The backing also acts as an insulator that keeps the water hot longer than cast iron, which draws heat from the water (the iron is cold). The biggest difference, and of EXTREME importance if you're installing it yourself, is that the Americast tub weighs about 110 lbs. vs. 350 lbs. for cast iron! I recently installed an Americast tub & I think it's great.
Acrylic Tubs
Americast is a registered trademark of American Standard, and is a material provided as a lighter alternative to cast-iron. Americast is lighter and costs less, and is claimed to be more durable, though many claim it's less durable than its cast-iron counterpart in its finish.
The step-by-step directions can be found on a website called, DoItYourself. You will need 5 things to install a portable hot tub: hot tub, lumber, screws, power drill, and concrete. Any hot tub you purchase should come with a guide. You should also be able to find one on the manufacturer's website.
That depends on the volume/size of the tub in question. A "tub" could be a butter tub, a mash tub a bath-tub etc.
A drill machine can mean a hand held electric drill, or a bench drill press or a pillar drill.
"Standard tub" is too vague. More information is needed, especially what the 'tub' is used for? Tub of icecream? Tub of lard? Bathtub? etc.
