So what temperature should hot tubs be set at in order to promote the most enjoyable and therapeutic experience?  Let’s review the basics on hot tub water temperature settings….

Setting Hot Tub Water Temperature in the Summer

Hot Tub TemperatureDepending on which part of the country you call home, the high heat of summer will have a direct effect on your spa’s water temperature.  As a rule of thumb, many users keep their hot tub set at temperatures ranging between 97-99 degrees.  This, of course is a personal preference, but one that will allow you to safely reap the many hydrotherapeutic benefits without making your time in the water uncomfortable.

Winter Hot Tub Water Temperature Settings

When the mercury drops during the winter months, setting your water temperature a bit higher can help compensate for the cold chill in the air.  That said, the ideal winter spa settings for many users is in the range of 100-103 degrees.  You can go slightly higher or lower based on your preferences, but be sure to not overdo it on the high end.  Extended periods of time in water that’s too hot could leave you feeling weak and tired, as opposed to refreshed and invigorated.
