What Temperature Should a Hot Tub Be?

What Temperature Should a Hot Tub Be?

This is a question we are asked frequently by new hot tub owners and buyers. There are many factors to consider, including the hot tub temperature range, body temperatures, ambient temperatures, and health risks.

Hot Tub Temperature Range

For safety, most hot tubs have a maximum temperature limit of 40degC. You may only consider going down to 26 degrees in summer to cool off. For some, 40 degrees can be too hot. How hot should my hot-tub be? The ideal temperature range is between 37degC-40degC.

Body Temperature vs. Hot Tub Temperature

The average body temperature is around 37degC. This can have a profound impact on your hot-tub experience. You may feel a slight chill if the water temperature is below 37 degrees. It can be nice to feel a slight chill in the water when it is hot. In winter, when it is cooler, you can give the hot tub a buffer temperature of about 37 degrees. This is because, with the cover removed, the hot spa will cool down slowly.

Find the Perfect Temperature for Your Hot Tub

Try it! You can safely try the difference between 37degC and 40degC as long as you take into account these health considerations. It’s possible that your preferences will change depending on the time of year, but only you can decide what suits you best.

Health Risks that You Need to Know!

  • Consult your doctor before using a hot tub during pregnancy.
  • Hot tubs above 35degC should be avoided by children under 5 years old. They should also only stay in the hot tub for 5-10 mins at a given time.
  • Stay hydrated when using a spa.

FAQ’s

How long does it usually take to heat up a hot-tub?

The temperature of the hot-tub varies depending upon its size, heater, flow rate, and ambient temperature. A hot tub warms up about 1 degree an hour.

How should I adjust the temperature of my hot tub when I am away?

You can save money by lowering the temperature of your hot tub. This will also reduce chemical usage. The majority of hot tubs are equipped with freeze protection, so the risk of freezing is minimal.

What should I do if the temperature of my hot tub does not decrease?

The ambient temperature can make it difficult to lower the temperature of the hot tub in the summer heat. To reduce the hot tub temperature, you can either add some cold water or drain the hot tub and then partially refill it.
