For most spa owners, the prime season to enjoy a hot soak is fall, winter, and spring. Few people consider soaking in their hot tub when the temperatures are a sultry 100 degrees with 100% humidity in summer. It sounds ridiculous to want to do that. However, enjoying a dip in your favorite oasis can be relaxing, even in the summer heat. You don’t have to shut it down until the weather gets cooler. You can enjoy your spa all year round with a few simple tips. So, go ahead and take off that new replacement hot tub cover and get ready for a summer of soaking fun!

4 Tips for Enjoying Your Hot Tub This Summer

We typically think of a hot tub as being…well…hot, and no one wants to get hotter. You can still enjoy the massaging jets throughout this super-hot season by using these suggestions:

  1. Lower the temperature significantly. It’s normal for your spa’s water temperature to be between 99- and 102 degrees Fahrenheit. During the summer, you can decrease the temperature to 85 degrees or less or turn off the heater altogether. This will create the perfect relaxation tub, which will be a nice cool down during the heat of the summer.
  2. Leave the cover open and the air jets on. To cool down your hot tub quickly, run it with your cover off and the air jets on. This will help circulate the water, releasing the heat faster and cooling down the water. You can jump in when it’s cooler or hop in during the cool-down phase for a fun sensation.
  3. Plan on evening dips. Once the sun goes down, the outdoor temperatures tend to cool, making it a perfect opportunity to soak in warm water. Some nights, you will enjoy the cool breeze blowing through as you sit in the swirling jets.
  4. Create a beach in your backyard. For those days when you don’t want to leave the house and struggle with traffic to get to the beach or pool, remember your spa. You can make a beach or pool getaway right in your backyard. Lower the temperature of the water, pull a chaise lounge near the basin, and soak up the sun. When you get too hot, take a quick dip to cool down. There is no hassle of travel, just pure relaxation in your own space.
